Unbelievable article about the victim of the man who Trump wanted for AG (Matt Gaetz).

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/us/politics/in-matt-gaetz-scandal-circumstances-left-girl-vulnerable-to-exploitation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.008.OLjK.5u2Bn3nopf7v&smid=url-share

The above is a gift link.

On July 15, 2017, Mr. Greenberg asked the girl and others to attend a party at the home of Chris Dorworth, a former Republican member of the Florida state House of Representatives who at the time worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, which is run by a major Trump fund-raiser.

Court documents described the party as involving “alcohol; cocaine; middle-aged men; and young attractive females.”

Mr. Gaetz, then 35, attended the party along with a girlfriend.

At the party, the girl who was 17 later testified, both cocaine and ecstasy were offered to her. She took the ecstasy and drank, according to court papers. She testified that she danced naked in front of Mr. Dorworth and swam naked in his pool.

The ethics committee heard testimony that the girl twice had sex with Mr. Gaetz that evening, and a court document quotes her as having testified that she had sex with him once on a “pool table or … air hockey table.” She testified that Mr. Dorworth saw Mr. Gaetz have sex with her on the game table and “then laughed about it with other partygoers.” (Mr. Dorworth has claimed that he was not home at the time, an assertion undercut by phone records that became part of litigation in the case.)

end of quote

I have no words. It is beyond appalling that he wanted this immoral degenerate to be our AG.

I think her Epstein coverup and revenge prosecutions will land her in prison.

Sorry, one of my little pet peeves is using the words incredible or unbelievable as synonyms for amazing, astonishing or shocking. If something was really unbelievable we could ignore it; if it's shocking we can't. The article about Gaetz' victim is shocking because it's believable.

as well as disgusting, is that Gaetz is still in Congress after all the revelations. As I noted earlier in another thread, if he were a Democrat he's have been hounded out by his own party!

in his position as Tax Collector, would or could print a copy of the father's driver's license with a picture of whoever would be escorting the girl. That person would pose as the girl's father to avoid questioning at places like hotels and airports.
note: nothing backs up any of this, it was simply talk around the water cooler.
