Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) accused Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) of openly detailing his sexual experiences to fellow lawmakers in a bonkers interview with CNN on Wednesday. (You can check out his comments in the clip below.)

“He bragged about how he would crush E.D. medicine and chase it with energy drinks so he could go all night. This is obviously before he got married,” Mullin told CNN’s Manu Raju.

Mullin, an ally of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), made the wild claims about Gaetz after the Florida Republican ― and seven other members of his party ― joined all House Democrats in supporting the ouster of McCarthy from his post on Tuesday.

The move arrived after Gaetz filed a motion to vacate the California Republican from the speaker’s chair.

    Shitty headline. The word “drops” here is being used to mean “releases”, not “withdraws”.

    The former sense is more typical in entertainment news (“new Taylor Swift album drops this Friday”) whereas the latter sense is more typical in politics and legal news (“prosecutor drops murder charge against Taylor Swift”, “Senator Swift drops controversial goat-staring provision from budget”).

      I understood what it meant, but maybe that’s just because I know what a slimeball Matt Gaetz is. Sidenote my phone autocorrected “Gaetz” to “farts” and honestly that’s perfect lmao

    “This is a lie from someone who doesn’t know me and who is coping with the death of the political career of his friend Kevin. Thoughts and prayers.”

    Couldn’t give less of a shit about their infighting but I don’t know if I’ve seen someone from the GOP using T&P so clearly in the way they always mean it.

        And obviously in revenge for nuking the GOP conference in the House.

        Funny that betrayal of the Republican party elicits a bigger response than trying to overthrow the goddamn government.

          Not when overthrowing the government is the point.

      This story is from April, 2021… so yeah nothing new here.

      Gaetz showed nude pictures of women on House floor, per report

      WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz allegedly bragged about his sexual escapades with women and showed his colleagues in Congress nude pictures of the women he slept with, according to a new report from CNN.

      Gaetz is under investigation after allegations surfaced he had a relationship with a 17-year-old girl in 2019, per a report in the New York Times. The probe includes a Justice Department inquiry into potential violations of federal sex trafficking laws. Authorities are looking into whether the congressman paid the teen to travel with him across state lines.

      According to sources with CNN, Gaetz allegedly showed nude images with leaders on the House floor. A source told CNN one image showed a naked woman with a hula hoop.

      Gaetz denied the accusations. “I have a suspicion that someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward,” Gaetz said in a statement to the New York Times.

      Gaetz also claims he’s the target of a $25 million extortion plot involving an attorney in Pensacola who used to work as a federal prosecutor. The law firm, Biggs & Lane, in Pensacola, called the claims, “False and defamatory.”

      The correct follow up to this statement would be for the reporter to confirm gaetz’s partner’s Venmo handles.

    I can’t get over the fact that his name is “Markwayne.” Like his parents couldn’t decide and had to give him a double first name.

      During the birthing process in Oklahoma, there are massive amounts of meth and banjo playing involved. It’s not uncommon for Oklahomans to have two sometimes three first names because of the excitement and meth.

      Mostly because of the meth.

            If you have Upscayle modify a picture of Butthead using one of the realism settings, it spits out a picture of Matt Gaetz.

      Trump is their new god and he never abided by it; I’d say it’s well and truly dead.

      They always brought in the crazies because they “would rather have them in the tent pissing out, rather than outside the tent pissing in.” but this new breed that came with Trump is standing in the tent and pissing all over the floor.

    I can go all night with none of that because I have self control.

    Matt Gaetz and his kind have no brains whatsoever and need to be ousted.
