Matt Gaetz is fundraising -- again -- off his sex trafficking scandal

The Congressman cites Donald Trump's support as he asks supporters for money.
U.S. Rep. Matt Getz started fundraising off a still unfolding sex scandal that could put him in prison.

Gaetz penned a fundraising appeal blasted to supporters Friday morning. It asked for checks to be sent to the campaign account Friends of Matt Gaetz. In it, Gaetz compares himself to members of former President Donald Trump’s administration who became embroiled in an investigation of Russian election meddling.

“Here we go again,” the email begins. “Just another media hoax. Do you remember the fake Russia Hoax? Their attempt to frame General (Michael) Flynn? I do… and now they are coming for me.”

The Department of Justice ultimately dropped charges against Flynn after he pleaded guilty.

Here's the solution, buddy: Explain yourself. I'm sure there are perfectly reasonable and innocent explanations for all this damning evidence against you. Just explain yourself, and all this goes away.

Accomplishments and legislation is no longer their goal. Notoriety is the new currency.
