The only thing worse about the House Ethics committee report saying Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for sex is the realization that so many other Republicans were ready to hide that shit.

Always on point. I hope, with her following, that they can garner enough momentum to create change within the party.
I don't give it much chance, but they have to keep trying.
