If Madison Cawthorn was hoping that Matt Gaetz’s teenage sex scandal would distract from his own allegations of sexual misconduct, he can think again.
You’ve probably heard that Gaetz is accused of sleeping with a minor. Late yesterday, The New York Times reported that the Justice Department was investigating whether he “had sex with a 17-year-old girl and paid for her to travel with him.”
Gaetz, of course, denies everything and says he’s the victim of a $ 25 million extortion scheme possibly directed by someone inside Biden’s White House. Or something.
Over the past few weeks, my family and I have been the victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $ 25 million while threatening to smear my name.
We are cooperating with the federal authorities on this …

Cawthorn is no stranger to sex scandals himself.
Earlier this month, Buzzfeed released a damning report in which more than 30 of his former friends, classmates and acquaintances accused him of sexual harassment, misconduct and other inappropriate behavior.
The charges included calling the women degrading and derogatory names in public, asking them about their sex lives, forcing them to sit on his knees, grabbing and kissing them without their consent, and luring them into his Dodge Challenger, lock the doors and drive them. “in the middle of nowhere”.

The story caused a stir when it was first published earlier this month, but quickly faded from the headlines, as is often the case in the modern 24-hour news cycle. But now, thanks to Gaetz, people are talking about it again, as well as the parallels between the two anti-Gay lawmakers.
The similarities are striking. The two men announce from the South. Both have spoken out against LGBTQ equality. Both love Donald Trump. Both lied about their biographies. Both are obsessed with their images on social media. The two like to flirt with white supremacists. Both have been accused of playing a role in the January 6 uprising. And now the two have also been accused of being sexual predators.
Here’s what the folx are saying on Twitter …
Matt Gaetz and Madison Cawthorn are sexual predators. @GOPLeader is an accomplice.
