The Philly Inquirer is using this photo of Gaetz:

[PCIntern]

They make him look like the angry , maniacal, nutcase he is.

[Ocelot II]

1. Also very creepy.

He looks like the guy you might meet at a party and you try to get away from him as fast as you can and you hope he doesn't follow you home.

21. very creepy looks like a televangelist (nt)

[Siwsan]

2. That's quite a suit he's wearing.

I guess I've never really paid close attention to him. Is he a guy of smaller stature? He looks pretty 'delicate' in that photo. Well, perhaps not his facial expression.

3. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that people wanted to touch him

[BlueTsunami2018]

10. Nobody "wanted" to, they were paid to.

Some people sell out pretty easy. Thirty seconds of yuck for lavish trips and gifts is a fair exchange for some people.

29. Note a young person is also going to be easier to coerce.

They don't have the life experience nor the knowledge to know truly what they want, they can be caught up in the glitz and glamor and do things that they later regret doing, and which when they think about it was completely coerced out of them.

There's a reason these laws exist. It doesn't help that Sugar Babies and Instagram and the other sites glorify this behavior, leading girls down a path that can be easily exploited by pervs like this guy, who was so depraved he was associated with a guy making fake IDs for these underage girls.

11. Yes but it appears he had to spend big bucks

28. That's why what he did was illegal.

Shower a girl with gifts and trips, give her a fake ID, coerce her into doing things she wouldn't normally do. It's an extremely sick form of manipulation and a massive power imbalance. When all they want out of these girls is sex and to use them and discard them afterward.

4. Looks like Copeland's love child...

[FSogol]

5. Typical Conservative.

[Comfortably_Numb]

6. Guest unsub in an episode of Criminal Minds.

[Scrivener7]

7. Love child of Nixon and a cross-eyed badger.

[Hekate]

23. Yow!

[RainCaster]

8. Fathead

Yup.

[grumpyduck]

9. I hate to say this, but

he looks like someone Central Casting would send out on a call for someone to play a bonkers preacher.

[underpants]

13. How does he not topple over?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Haha! Huge head full of nothing good

[NewHendoLib]

14. looks like a typical televangelist perv

[stillcool]

15. I knew he reminded me of someone scary

Red Rum

[yonder]

16. Nice suit.

Not. What a creep.

[Midnight Writer]

17. Do these guys consciously ape televangelists, or do they simply share the same pathology?

[2naSalit]

18. Looks a lot like Billy Graham.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Evil looking.

[lamp_shade]

20. Carnival barker....

[Mr.Bill]

22. He dresses like the guy who guesses your weight at the Carnival. n/t

[Aristus]

30. The suit itself is actually not bad.

Vivid window-pane pattern. It's cool and attention-getting. If I was wearing it, though, I would have made the suit the most radical feature of the outfit, and gone conservative with a white shirt and a low-key tie.

A nice pocket silk would have really worked with this, too.

But fill a suit with an ugly, creepy shithead like Gaetz, and there's nothing one can do...

[11 Bravo]

25. Eddie Munster after a crystal meth binge.

[riversedge]

26. Last night on tucker show, Matt looked like a chicken who had met its fate.

[Aristus]

27. As we say where I'm from:

"He's 'bout a oggly motherfucker..."
