Republicans don't give a shit about women or underage girls or slimeballs like Gaetz abusing their power.

The feds are already investigating and reports are already talking about him "retiring early" from the House...

... and this before a victim has come forward publicly.

13. It has been a lead story on every news report I have heard today

I live in Indiana, yet it even was one of the leads on my local radio station, so I'm not sure if it's been a "media absolute failure at fair reporting"
They have all reported that he is being investigated for crimes.

12. Greenberg is a dangerous criminal
Wed Mar 31, 2021, 10:53 AM
Mar 2021
The former Seminole County Tax Collector used his access as an elected official to look up information about the minor victim in The Florida Driver and Vehicle Information Database known as “DAVID,” including the girl’s photo and driver identification number, according to the indictment.

He also used the database to look up other people, with whom he “was engaged with ‘sugar daddy’ relationships,” according to the document. A sugar daddy is a term that refers to a wealthy man who dates a younger woman and gives her gifts in exchange for companionship or sex.

Greenberg used the DAVID database for prohibited purposes, including “to produce a false identification document and to facilitate his efforts to engage in commercial sex acts,” the documents say.

As far back as Nov. 11, 2015 — about a year before he was elected in November 2016 — Greenberg created a fake driver’s license using the name, date of birth and address of an adult victim identified in court records only as R.Z, prosecutors said. He gleaned those details from the Florida Department of Highway Safety’s website, according to the new indictment filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg.
