The MAGAts are all over the fucking board tonight on how to defend Gaetz. Besides those who are trying to carve out a little exception in their whole “KIDDIE DIDDLING IS EVIL!!!” worldview for Repubs they like, the rest have basically turned the whole thing into a case of Schrodinger’s Investigation: It’s simultaneously an on-going investigation totally cooked up by the Deep State and also something that McGee was threatening to start if Gaetz didn’t pay up. And while he’s apparently a minor celebrity in Florida, none of them can explain how David McGee suddenly became the mastermind behind this whole plan to bring down Gaetz.

This is gonna be a wild week.
