Matt Gaetz Has Weird Interview With Tucker Carlson Claim he Had Sex with 17 Year old Sparks Investigation

Tucker Carlson called his conversation with Matt Gaetz yesterday ‘One of the Weirdest Interviews I’ve Ever Conducted.” Gaetz came on to discuss allegations that he had sex with a 17 year old.

Gaetz read what seemed like a memorized statement, and called the story a lie, revealed his belief that he was being extorted by a DOJ official, and said the DOJ asked Gaetz’s father to wear a wire in some kind of sting operation. He named David McGee as the official who is attempting to extort him, seeking money in exchange for making an investigation go away. There’s something about a Biden pardon, a conspiracy, and that there are tapes that will prove it all, if only authorities will release them.

Matt Gaetz, congrats on your Florida Man headline. Next time you may want add some meth or an alligator to get the full flex though.
