According to just about everyone, Gaetz spent the majority of his days in law school partying and getting lost.
“As a law student, Gaetz lived in a large, multi-bedroom house near campus, more luxurious digs than the cramped apartments where some of his classmates lived,” the report read. “He often received friends there to play cards or drink from a barrel in the basement. “
One person shared an email he allegedly resent in 2006 inviting them to a Super Bowl party that promised booze, gambling, and strippers.
“His invitation included specific requests: crisps, dollar bills and strippers,” Insider reports, citing Gaetz as writing, “I can ask you to bring some props (napkins, mugs, chips, strippers, mail). – After entering all your email addresses, it’s painfully obvious that I don’t know enough girls – so bring some.
Another person said Gaetz had always had a reputation for being an attention-seeking jerk, but they noted, “He’s more over the top now.”
“He’s always been a bit of a frat boy,” a source said, adding that he wasn’t “particularly smart” but he wasn’t the dumbest guy in the room either.
Their feelings, however, appear to have changed today, with another classmate noting that every time they see Gaetz’s name on Twitter, they brace themselves for the worst.
“Anytime The Daily Beast publishes another story on a Friday, it’s like ‘Oh my God, go check Twitter,’” the person said, adding that there are now three focus group discussions among dedicated alumni. to sharing updates on their old classmate.
Another person indicated that Gaetz allegedly had sex with a high school student as an example of his sheer stupidity.
“He has a very high sense of self-preservation,” they said. “I’m surprised he didn’t check [her] the references.”
More than 500 alumni of William & Mary Law School, including 34 from Gaetz’s graduating class, recently signed a petition calling on him to step down from Congress as federal investigators move closer to their investigation of him.
Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and has not yet been charged with any crime.
