Matt Gaetz Pleads For Money, And You Can Guess How People Are Responding

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is pleading for money from his supporters as he launches a media attack on CNN amid reports he’s under investigation in connection with a sex scandal. 

Gaetz denies the allegations, but investigators are reportedly examining evidence to see whether he and an associate paid for sex, including with a person who was 17 years old at the time. 

Gaetz tweeted his ad, in which he basically takes some of the text from a right-wing meme about former President Donald Trump and makes it about himself instead:

Given that history, Gaetz’s attempt to fundraise off his current troubles struck some of his critics as crass:

Of course all money going to his defense fund! Remembering don’t forget to check that box so @mattgaetz doesn’t drain ur acct like Trump did with recurring charges/withdrawals. https://t.co/EWXG5VbVz4
