    Technically, even though it was child rape, the child was post-pubescent and willing. DeSantis and Gaetz apparently only care about trafficking when it involves shipping brown people into the country as slaves (supposedly).

    Just one more time for the record, Trump’s first choice as a cabinet pick Matt Gaetz Raped a Child.

      They never brought charges, just stopped the investigation. My guess was the play is simple there, if he didn’t do exactly what Trump wanted, the DOJ could bring charges and put him in prison for years and end his career. Thankfully some people saw through it, yet not enough to pressure for the charges to be taken up and followed through on.
