F.After a cold opening in which Pete Davidson debuted his creepy, Quagmire-esque Matt Gaetz, Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” continued the onslaught.
“Representative Matt Gaetz, who looks like a cartoon of a caricature artist of mine, is reportedly being investigated for alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl – because Gaetz believes that only voters should show their ID,” Colin Jost joked. It is also reported that Gaetz may have paid for sex with women he has met online. That story has since been confirmed throughout its vibe. “
Yes, Gaetz is currently under investigation for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and may have violated sex trafficking laws by paying her to travel across state lines. Additionally, as CNN reported, Gaetz is also accused of showing nude photos of women he supposedly slept with to fellow congressmen on the House floor and having ecstasy-fueled romps with prostitutes.
Jost then addressed Gaetz’s incredibly strange (and inconclusive) statement about the allegations, delivered in the third person: “Matt Gaetz never paid for sex … Matt Gaetz has never been to a website like this … Matt Gaetz cherishes the relationships in his past and looks forward to marrying the love of his life. ”
Then Jost released his own statement in response: “Colin Jost doesn’t believe you … Colin Jost thinks you’ve visited all the websites … Colin Jost thinks you should hold off sending those wedding invitations.”
Of course, the Trump-loving QAnon crowd – conspiracy theorists who believe Trump, a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein, was somehow waging a secret battle against an army of Democratic and Hollywood pedophilic sex traffickers – is remarkably quiet about the Gaetz- disclosures.
“This is the craziest part of this story for me: a sitting congressman is accused of child trafficking and the QAnon people suddenly say, ‘No, I need more evidence,’” said Jost. ‘That was your whole thing! I mean come on! Matt Gaetz’s girlfriend, she was said to be 17, the 17th letter in the alphabet is Q, it’s all right! What are you waiting for? The storm is finally here, and QAnon says, “You can’t believe everything you read on the Internet.” ”
As if that wasn’t enough, Gaetz was the nothing but Representative in Congress to vote against a 2017 bill on human trafficking.
