So Matt brought the minor to his dinner with Carlson and his wife? I am sure Carlson’s wife will put two and two together tonight. Tucker has to maintain his perception of amnesia.

You just can’t make this shit up. If you did, no one would believe it.

“People were talking about a minor, that there were pictures of me with child prostitutes, thats obviously false, there will be no such pictures because no such thing happened,”

There is no cannibalism in the British navy, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount.

He was just checking her out to make sure she was okay for Nestor to date.

Unless I’m very much mistaken, Gaetz is trying to intimidate Carlson with these repeated attempts to put Carlson in the same boat as him. Basically the message is: “I know stuff about you that I haven’t mentioned, I’ve just shown you that I’m quite ready to drag your name through the mud if I have to, so I expect you to be in my corner on this one. I’m not going down alone.”

the Florida congressman delivered the coup de grâce: denying that the 17-year old existed, while also denying furiously that there were photos taken of him with child prostitutes.

There’s trying to get ahead of the story, and then there’s quitting while you’re still behind.

I would suggest that any sex act between Gaetz or Tucker is going to be “terrible”.
