      GOOD. He never should have been nominated in the first place.

      He quit Congress too so tf is he going to be now? a Fox news talking head?

      2nd report saying there was another sexual assault case with a minor. Every single Republican who defended him are fucking sick weirdos

    6. JustAnotherDude87 on

      It’s a start but I fear whoever replaces him as the nominee will be terrible as well.

      Nice. I hope the ethics report still comes out. Leak it. Fuck the norms.

    10. ChrisIsUninteresting on

      He must REALLY not want us to know what’s in that House ethics report.

    12. Either_Bed_9262 on

      This was the plan all along, wasn’t it? The report on him was set to be released in two days when he was nominated and resigned from the House. This forced the report to be dropped before its release. His appointment also drew attention away from other dangerous appointments like Gabbard, Hegseth, RFK Jr.

      If there’s one thing that’s consistent about Trump, it’s long been his use of controversy to draw attention from controversy.

      While this is good news, the next AG pick will be equally as bad in effect. By originally nominating Gaetz of all people to be the fucking AG of all things, it shows trump’s intentions and contempt for the department. Quash legitimate investigations, launch investigations against political opponents and members of the press, fire prosecutors, let Russian espionage agents run around freely within the US.

      The Golden Age of Corruption begins on Jan. 20, 2025.

      So, *NOW*, he’ll be charged and prosecuted using evidence from the Ethics Report as a private citizen, right?

    16. Thanolus on

      The report just be so fucking bad that he is scared it’s going to leak and be in jail before he can get confirmed

      I’d celebrate there being one less pedophile in the government, but the GOP will just replace him with another pedophile.

      I’m worried that Gaetz was used a scapegoat to anchor the AG pick **so badly** that whoever Trump nominates next, even though they will objectively be awful, will still seem better than Gaetz.

    23. jayfeather31 on

      That’s some very good news. That being said, whoever replaces him could be worse.

    24. Wine_Women_Song on

      Fine. Now pursue criminal charges for sex trafficking a minor

    25. mattmild27 on

      Now he can get back to his true passion, venmoing money to young women for absolutely no reason.

    26. Just-Fault-7209 on

      All part of a plan. Gaetz won’t be prosecuted for being a fucking chomo. Trumpists told him to resign from Congress so the ethics report couldn’t be used as evidence.

      This is so typical for morally bankrupt and the corrupted Trump cult. 

    27. aircooledJenkins on

      Good.

      Release the ethics reports. All of them. Stop sheltering sex offenders.

    28. Forsaken-Cheesecake2 on

      And he’s resigned from Congress. Good, can he just go away forever now, or to jail?

    29. Roddykins1 on

      Im guessing those Senators he met with told him to fuck off and he didn’t have the votes. Thats the only way a narcissist drops out.

    30. mrkruk on

      I called this 6 days ago.

      [https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1gs06um/comment/lxbn78s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1gs06um/comment/lxbn78s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

      He resigned immediately, which avoided responsibility via the report due – Trump did Chocula a favor and nominated him to make an excuse – he then had a made up reason to resign.

      And now he withdrew.

      TOTAL BULLSHIT.

      This is Republican BS – a Republican *Representative child predator GOT AWAY WITH IT. Thanks to Donald Trump.

      This is the real, disgusting, criminal Republican Party on full display.

      Guy should get arrested and then we can see him walk free of the police and justice system too because Republicans don’t really care AT ALL.

    31. kieranjackwilson on

      He found out he would be working with JD Vance, not at a JV Dance.

    33. Infidel8 on

      Always remember that the House GOP was happy to cover up pedophilia because the pedophile was on their team.

    34. DarthJarJarJar on

      100% he made a deal. Withdraw and the report is not released. I guarantee that’s what happened.

      Now just get someone to leak the damn thing.

    35. Spike2000_ on

      Just because the pedophile is dropping out, doesn’t mean the investigation on the pedophile should be ignored/suppressed.
