When it comes to being totally creepy and inappropriate, no one seems to do it better than Matt Gaetz.
Florida’s anti-gay lawmaker is currently under federal investigation for allegedly paying a 17-year-old girl for sex and traveling with her across state lines.
Even if the accusations are bogus, which Gaetz insists, one would hope he would have enough common sense to refrain from making goofy comments about school kids on Twitter.
But no.
Last week Gaetz tweeted, “Homeschoolers are very good remote workers.”

Now we have no idea what he’s talking about even in this tweet, and neither does anyone else, but just about everyone agrees it’s a hard thing for a 38 year old to write. when he’s in the middle of an investigation into child sex trafficking.
And now the answers …
It’s just a weird tweet, mostly because it’s from you.

Someone checks his Venmo and sees if he’s paying these school kids for their remote work.

Rep Gaetz, it’s for the best if you avoid tweeting about people under the age of 21
