NBC: Gaetz Spokesman Resigns Amid Probe Into Sex Allegations

[DonViejo]

By Zoë Richards | April 2, 2021 11:55 a.m.

The communications director for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) had resigned amid allegations that the congressman made payments to multiple women recruited online for sex, according to NBC News.

A source told the network that Luke Ball, who has been a spokesman for Gaetz since 2019, resigned out of principle.

The spokesman’s resignation is the most recent development in the fallout of the Gaetz inquiry. Reports earlier this week revealed that the Florida Republican has been embroiled in a Justice Department inquiry stemming from a probe into sex trafficking involving Joel Greenberg, a Florida tax collector, who already faces dozens of charges and was indicted for a sex trafficking charge that involved a teenager last August.

Gaetz is also being investigated for allegedly having sex with the same 17-year-old girl.

1. It's hard to be a spokesman for a perv.

[keithbvadu2]

5. Trump found several of them.

[Ocelot II]

6. True, and they didn't fare very well either.

Some of them didn't even communicate at all.

[keithbvadu2]

8. Yes. They did what Trump hired them to do not what America paid them to do.

Yes. They did what Trump hired them to do not what America paid them to do.

2. "Out of principle."

Good one.

[RockRaven]

3. Resigning "out of principle" after working for two years for a guy who openly behaves this way

Gaetz didn't hide his creepiness in the slightest. This guy knew. He knew the whole time. Only when WE ALL KNOW, and he has to answer questions about it, does this guy suddenly have principles.

[Shermann]

7. He's probably just pissed he wasn't cut in on the sex action nt

[Celerity]

4. The Ball is no longer in Matt's court

[uponit7771]

9. +1, with the "we have receipts" thing you'd think he'd just pipe up and admit to the FBI but he'll

... lie and go to jail just for lying.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Gaetz. Sex. Probe.

I just threw up a little.

[jaxexpat]

15. Yeah, Gaetz' comment was "17? She said she was 14".

[aggiesal]

21. Isn't 17 Q? n/t

[jaxexpat]

24. I have literally no idea what you're asking?

[aggiesal]

25. Gaetz is also being investigated for allegedly having sex with the same 17-year-old girl ...

Since Gaetz is a hard core Pendejo45 backer and Pendejo45 is a Qanonsense supporter
17 year old makes sense, because the letter Q is the 17th letter in the alphabet.
And, Pendejo45 always asks for team jerseys to have the number 17





Forget the fact that 2017 was the year these teams won their titles, the Qanonsense supporters believe it's Q.

[jaxexpat]

26. In my short time on this earth.....

I have waded through the Book of Thoth mucking among the numbers. I have scoured the cliffs of the Bardo Thodol while rummaging among the Tibetan Dead. Tossed coins at the Yi Ching, shuffled along the Arcanae of the Tarot and even memorized Linda Goodman's trusty astrological tome. Yet here, today I sit, a deflated entity, laid low by a misestimation of Trumpian numerology, a wisdom of which I had no clue.

Please, do me a favor. Make sure I've quit breathing, then just cover me over. On my stone, please inscribe, "apologies".

And, of course, that this is my 1,666th post, is purely coincidental. Anything's possible in this comma crazy world.

[aggiesal]

27. That was funny ...

and one of the reasons I call them QaNONSENSE.

They twist everything to suit their ideals, including numerology.
If you have time, watch the Q series on HBO.
It's where I learned about 17

[bottomofthehill]

11. Most likely called to testify

[NurseJackie]

12. Huh? Out of principal? I'm not buying it! -- How could he NOT have already known?

He knew all along what was going on. It's just that NOW, other people know too. He's tarnished and his career is in the toilet... swirling and scraping the edges as it circles and spins its way down-down-down.

[Dan]

13. Resigned out of "principle".... don't make me laugh.

[SunSeeker]

14. Ruh roh. It's bad when a professional liar can't handle it.

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. Oh, this clearly isn't a good sign for Gaetz.

As spokesmodels go, I couldn't like this one much more, at least in this moment.

[lindysalsagal]

17. How many times can you repeat "She looked so much older"???

With a straight face?

Hopefully, he's turned states evidence.

[Wounded Bear]

18. "Spokesman" or "Procurer?"

As Lynnard Skynnard said:

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you

Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
And one more drink fool, will drown you

Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

The rats are deserting the ship. Time to organize their own cover stories.

[Marcuse]

20. As Paul McCartney said:

[Ferrets are Cool]

19. Now that it's out in the open, the rat jumps ship.

The fire is too hot in that kitchen.

[liberal N proud]

22. And Gaetz?

[FelineOverlord]

23. The rats are abandoning the rat
