As Roger Sollenberger reports, though Gaetz pretends to be sustained by small donors, recent video shows what he's really doing behind the scenes, as he meets select groups of big right-wing donors to court their financial support.

 @f884fa2b Not sure why he is still, and many of our officials are still allowed to be in office. The behavior of our congress people at an average level is in my opinion reprehensible, showing many times the very worst 

 @6b01bd68 Yes, and this from a party that has long claimed to have cornered the market on "moral" "values" and "civility." 

 @f884fa2b lol morals is an automatic disqualification from political office 

 @6b01bd68 So it often seems. The opposition Jimmy Carter experienced in his time as president seems to me to validate that judgment. 

 @f884fa2b 

The billboards tell the story.

 @af82bac8 Gaetz catapults into national awareness again with quite a sordid backstory, doesn't he? 

 @f884fa2b @af82bac8 

Gaetz is a particularly loathsome specimen of the type Florida Fascist. He's even a little bit stinkier than the unlamented Madison Cawthorn. 

 @0e262866 @af82bac8 Yes, he's always struck me in just that way. 

 @f884fa2b Matt hates everything about America 

 @2b72bf69 Yes — Matt seems to me solely about Matt.
