Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who briefly stood to become President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be attorney general, was found by congressional ethics investigators to have paid numerous women — including a 17-year-old girl — for sex, and to have purchased and used illegal drugs, including from his Capitol Hill office, according to a final draft of a comprehensive investigative report obtained by CBS News.

I don't care about the drug use either, but I absolutely care that he supplied drugs to children. That shit harms development and makes consent, which is already pretty tepid with a 17 year old, an ethical nightmare. Not that he cares about ethics...
