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.

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.
