Why is this such a scandal?
The main thing is that the story got worse.
That’s why it happened. He didn’t have the votes to become Attorney General and he was embarrassing Donald Trump both of those are also true.
It’s pretty straight forward: Gaetz was accused of having sex with a 17 year old in 2017, this was already the established narrative and in the public eye prior to today and part of the Greenburg narrative. What came out today and sunk his chances was this;
Republicans were trying to make a meal of the idea that Gaetz didn’t know that she was 17 until after the sex had occured. If that was the case, why did he go back for another round?
Gaetz apparently had sex with her a second time.
When reporters asked him to confirm this story, he withdrew his candidacy.
Gaetz just made Clinton look like a choir boy.
