So then why was he fine working and knowing Matt Gaetz committed statutory rape and paid for those women to cross state lines. He should have been actively campaigning for him not to be a Florida Congress member.
Because caring about a thing and making a show of caring about the thing are two completely different things.
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.
