Representative Matt Gaetz called for the FBI to be defunded by Democrats in a tweet on Wednesday, and then deleted it immediately.

"If Democrats want to defund the police, they should start with the FBI," the tweet read.

Newsweek has reached out to Rep. Gaetz's team for comment but did not hear back by publication time. It is unclear why Gaetz deleted the tweet a minute after posting it.

The Florida congressman is currently being investigated by the FBI for allegations that he violated sex trafficking laws and allegedly paid a 17-year-old to have sex with him, The New York Times first reported back in late March. Gaetz has denied these allegations and has not been charged.

2. I keep wondering just how many of these tweets and other messages really came from the...

alleged authors.

They all have staffs paid to handle these things but the true idiots don't hire the best, or don't check what they send out.

Or both.

3. Only the fox knows, but Gaetz does keep making self harming statements and tweets, and House votes.
