that there are two separate investigations and both are extremely serious.

I can see why he has no friends but that applies to most of the GQP reps. I read earlier that Issa said Gaetz was looking at Tinder while he was in committee meetings.

This moron alienated a lot of people when he arrived in DC & began showing pix & videos of his victims...er, well, you know.

I would think that would be reason enough for even many qpukes tp distance from him.

Can you imagine being hired for a high level exec position & when you arrive, one of the 1st things ypu do is start showing those types of pix around? 😳

Screams "toxic!" To me.

Ty for posting, Rhiannon!

And the fact that he was so open about his transgressions certainly couldn't have earned him too many friends.

I'm sure they weren't as offended as they were terrified that guilt by association could potentially hamper their grifting at the rich Federal feeding trough.

Seen as a cavalier liability, they shun him.
