Matt Gaetz will kick off his “America First” tour at a local retirement community in Central Florida later today and seniors there say they’re “horrified” at the prospect.
The Villages is the largest retirement community in the Sunshine State. Resident Chris Stanley says she’s “horrified” that an accused sexual predator will be coming into her quiet community along with QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“I’m horrified!” she told CNN. “I’m absolutely horrified!”

Meanwhile, resident Mike Faulk, who is a Democrat, says that Gaetz coming to The Villages is a thinly veiled attempt at making people forget he’s currently under investigation for potential sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl, as well as several other woman he allegedly paid for sex.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“By coming down here, he’s really kind of doing a distraction tour,” he says.
And resident Dave Davidson, who is a Republican, says he doesn’t believe Gaetz’s story that the allegations against him are all part of an elaborate extortion scheme cooked up by someone in the Biden White House.
“It’s a nice story,” he said, sarcastically.

Of course the Republicans are not going to believe a bad story about another Republican. Their heads are still firmly up their ass.

“Their heads are still firmly up the Orange Fat Man’s ass.” There, fixed it for ya.

Youngish Republicans visiting a Republican stronghold for Mother’s Day – big deal!
I have read that there’s a sizable lesbian community in the Villages. Go figure.

this is the same community from which trump retweeted a video of an old man in a golf cart yelling “white power” to a crowd of people. the location choice was not accidental.

As long as they are over 18, Gaetz isn’t interested in them.

This story is actually funny for those who don’t know the villages is overwhelmingly republican but I’ll give cnn credit for finding the one democrat there to be horrified

Awwwww, you switched from Miss Terri back to this name.
Funny also that you tried to pretend they didn’t talk to a Republican who also thinks Gaetz is a liar.

I thought The Villages was trump country, which is why I decided to stay the 1,500 miles away.

Why are they shocked? They just need to keep their granddaughters away.

And Marjorie Taylor Greene is touting that McCarthy is gay!
MissTerri
So they found one old lady who was “horrified”? Hi-LAR-ious! NEXT!!!

Not as “Hi-LAR-ious!” as a (most likely) hetero troll like you coming here to support Gaetz and Green in a thinly veiled, but nonetheless wholly transparent way.
I will never understand why the right wing support of politicians is inversely proportional to a politician’s intellect and integrity, directly proportional to their mendacity.
Perhaps, if you had the vocabulary you could explain it.
