California Representative, and all round asswipe, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) commented on the Matt Gaetz issue. Representative Gaetz (R-Trainwreck) is being investigated for sexual trafficking. We have a federal law that outlaws taking a minor across state lines for the purposes of sex.
Interesting aside, the age of consent is set by the state. So let's say, for shits and giggles, Representative Gaetz was dating a 16 year old girl in Georgia. That is totally legal because the age of consent in Georgia is 16. But, if he paid for a trip for that same girl to come visit him in DC or Florida (which he technically represents), he would be libel for sex-trafficking because she is under 18 and hence a minor in the eyes of the feds.
Anyway, Minority Leader McCarty says that if these allegations are true, the Republicans would take away his committee assignments. NOT leave Congress, mind you, but take him off some committees. That is quite the sweet ass deal for an (alleged) statutory rapist and sex trafficker.
Way to show some balls, Kev.
