Matt Gaetz Hit With Blistering Ad Regarding His Sex Trafficking Activities and Ties to Convicted Criminal
Many Republicans are not happy with Florida Republican lawmaker and accused pedophile sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, and a new attack ad from a Republican primary challenger shows this. The 30-second ad notes his ties to convicted sex trafficker and former close friend Joel Greenberg.
Gaetz and Greenberg have been close friends for a long time, but their relationship ended when Greenberg was caught and sentenced for sex trafficking minors. The former Seminole County tax collector pleaded guilty in 2022 to underage sex trafficking, wire fraud, stalking, and related charges and has been cooperating with authorities in the investigations against Gaetz.
Gaetz has earned the ire of his fellow Republicans after he initiated the removal of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his position. McCarthy alleges that Gaetz had him removed after allowing a House Ethics inquiry against the Donald Trump ally. The ouster of McCarthy has led to the current chaos in the House, and many Republicans are still blaming Gaetz for it.
"2017. Congressman Matt Gaetz forms a close friendship with future convicted sex trafficker Joel Greenberg," the ad's narration stated. "Matt Gaetz is going to the White House and Joel Greenberg is going with him."
"Gaetz allegedly grooms Greenberg for higher political office, then makes payments to him. Greenberg reportedly uses a sugar daddy app to find college girls and pays for sex on Congressman Gaetz's behalf," continued the ad as it showed images of the two Florida politicians together. "That's a close friendship with the real Matt Gaetz."
The Florida MAGA congressman is currently under investigation for not only his sex trafficking activities that included minors but also his alleged drug use. He has so far denied all allegations.
Who Is Behind the New Ad Vs. Matt Gaetz?
A big mystery has now popped up regarding the ad, which was first reported by Punchbowl News. However, the outlet admitted, "We don't know who is behind this super PAC. But Gaetz voted against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy has used super PACs to go after other rivals, including House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.), who appears to be losing to John McGuire."
McCarthy has been supporting primary opponents against the eight Republican lawmakers who voted to remove him, especially Matt Gaetz, whom he accuses of removing him from office just because he "slept with a 17-year-old."
The Super PAC is reportedly tied to the Florida Patriots PAC, which is boosting Gaetz's GOP primary challenger, Aaron Dimmock. The two will face off in the primaries on August 20th.
House Ethics Committee Has Already Spoken to Witnesses in Matt Gaetz Probe
As for the investigation itself, the House Ethics Committee has said that it has already spoken with more than a dozen witnesses regarding the accusations against Gaetz. It has also issued 25 subpoenas and reviewed thousands of pages of documents.
It is also investigating whether the MAGA lawmaker "dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship," according to the Associated Press.
