          According to that wikipedia page he has not been convicted of that either so alleged underage sex trafficker.

            I’m not the news, so I’ll keep saying “underage sex trafficker Matt ‘Pizza’ Gaetz”.

            I’m under no obligation to give this piece of dog shit any benefit of the doubt. Though, it may be more accurate to call him a connoisseur of underage prostitutes because he paid a trafficker instead of trafficking the girl directly. Or maybe ‘benefactor to teen sex traffickers’ would work as well

                  13 to 19 are teenagers. You can dislike him all you want, it still doesn’t make him a pedophile.

                  psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.

                    So if they instead said “known ephebophile Matt Gaetz will continue to do children and get away with it”, you’d just be like “well done, carry on”?

                    Add this comment to the huge list of shit I would never expect to ever say or type.

                    Edit: linked up definition of children highlighting that teenagers are generally considered to be children.

            Right, he was protected by the gop mafia - so you are pedantically correct, he was not convicted, conveniently.

            But we all know the truth. All of us who are paying attention, that is.

          Dammit, I missed it! Nice response time by the mods, though.

          Edit: I’m wrong, they’re still ephebo’ing strong below.

        This is really not the time or place to make that argument.

          Yeah. As much as I love to be accurate and pedantic, even I don’t touch this subject with a dirty barge pole.

            It’s (to be pedantic, statutory) rape regardless. Which is the point.
