Rep. Matt Gaetz is currently at the center of a teen sex scandal and things aren’t looking good for the 38-year-old congressman.
Not only is the Department of Justice investigating him, but his Republican colleagues don’t seem to be coming to his defense the way they typically do anytime one of their own is accused of a sex crime.
When asked about the accusations against the Florida lawmaker, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called them “serious” and said Gaetz will be removed from the Judiciary Committee if they prove to be true.
On top of that, LGBTQ Nation reports that Republican staffers are privately “gloating” over what many think is the final nail in Gaetz’s political coffin.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
And then there is his fiancée, 26-year-old food analyst Ginger Luckey.
According to her Twitter bio, Luckey is “obsessed with food, data, and positive utility” and the proud “fiancée to @mattgaetz.”
At least, for now.
On Sunday, she posted a behind-the-scenes photo of Gaetz filming a television appearance. In the photo, the antigay lawmaker can be seen wearing a suit jacket and tie from the waist up, and khaki shorts and sandals from the waist down.
“#FloridaMan vibes from @mattgaetz!” she tweeted.

Little did Luckey know, less than 48 hours later, her #FloridaMan would be the subject of a New York Times report alleging that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and that he paid for her to travel with him.
Now, people are warning her to get out of the relationship while she still can…
Here is some advice, young lady. Break off the engagement and run #Underage #Under18IsACrimeInFlorida

Is that how he dresses for the old sexual misconduct dates too?
— Kev (@electionofshyt) March 30, 2021
Still engaged?
— *you’re (@RKJ65) March 31, 2021
Oh he’s definitely “Florida Man”

Run girl run!!!!

Good thing he’s used to shuffling around in sandals because that’s all he’ll be allowed to wear soon.

Oh honey.

I hear @RepMattGaetz goes pantless when crossing state lines with a minor.

Get out while you can Ginger.

Gaetz and Luckey first met last March at a Trump fundraiser held at Mar-a-Lago. They were engaged just a few months later during a New Years Eve party at the club.
Luckey told the Daily Mail that her response to Gaetz proposing was, “Duh!” She also said the couple planned to tie the knot sometime before 2024, but that they had not set a date yet.
It remains to be seen whether the wedding will happen now that her future husband is under investigation for underage sex crimes.
Luckey has not issued any comment on the scandal or the current state of her relationship. Her Twitter page remains public (for now), but her Instagram page is set to private.
Here’s a video of the couple sharing their engagement story with right wing media personality Gina Loudon.

“Gaetz and Luckey first met last March at Trump fundraiser held at Mar-a-Lago. They were engaged just a few months later during a New Years Eve party at the club.”
Translation: He was getting a ton of bad press and questions about his relationship with Nestor, so arranged to “Meet” somebody, and then get engaged extremely quickly so they could put it in the news.
Larry
And Ginger Luckey is certainly her real name!

While I do believe we need to give Matt the benefit of the doubt, I will always believe that “luckey” is a front to cover up his relations with likely TOTAL TOP Nestor.
amanwithanedge
where’s his boyfriend “son”?
BGreen1963
Of course she is. She’s from Canada. Up by Saskatchewan, somewheres.
Liquid Silver
I heard her name was Alberta.

I’m told by gay men and straight women that Republican men are quite into kink.

One I knew was a Christian fanatic but according to several people who’d dealt with him a total pig bottom once the doors were closed.

“Girlfriend”
“Fiance”

Oh. You must be referring to Nestor. hahahaha

JUST AS GAY RUMORS HEAT UP
HE IS ACCUSED OF UNDERAGE GIRL SEX
…. not a new story … has played in Hollywood quite a few times. Not believable
seadrian
Except this investigation was started by Bill Barr during the Trump presidency. He has a friend that’s already been indicted with trafficking and making fake ID’s for young girls so they could travel with them.
Invader7
No Ginger !!! Stay with the creepy overly Botoxed !!! Y’all are perfect for each other !!!
squinney7007
Well I would bet money that this “fiance” drops him like a hot potato after the breaking news of the sex scandal.
scotty
whenever i see his face, i just know he’s got one of his buttplugs in and turned on.
Fahd
What a circus! If true, he should be more than removed from the judiciary committee (big wow). If true, he should spend some time incarcerated and become a registered sex offender. I don’t know what’s wrong with the fiance, but this is a big Yuck to me.
cuteguy
She’s looking for her 15 min, so she will stand by her man and then act shocked and dismayed and use the #metoo movement to advance her name and agenda. How funny her name is “lucky” and she hooked her wagon with this schmuck
fredk3
he’s really serving up the cheesy 80’s televangelist look. his nestor scandal is brewing … operation ginger is like a bad florida highway billboard.
happy50132003
More BS by the cheap Queerty reporters. Where was all this investigation with Epstein/Bill Clinton. Where are the investigations on Stilwell from CA that was sleeping with a communist whore that slept with multiple democrats. SAD the Queerty is so bias. The journalism of today SUCKS and is nothing but LIES and OPINIONS and not news.
mailliw110
Apparently you didn’t get the memo. Epstein killed himself and his mistress is in jail. Of course, the story also left out the part about the moon landing being faked.
Cam
Awwww, how adorable, the troll account is desperate to deflect from the fact that Trump’s guy, Bill Bar is the one who ok’d the investigation into Matt Gaetz’s possible child trafficking.

Happy is totally correct. Liberal hypocrisy seems to have no limits these days. So many people in here are praying that the ALLEGATIONS are true…not to mention they seem to be sure that Gaetz is having a sexual relationship with his son. Make up your minds….Is he gay and having a Daddy/Son relationship NAMBLA style or is he straight and likes teenage girls.
mailliw110
There’s these people who like to have sex with both sexes. They call themselves “BI-sexual”. As a gay man, I don’t quite understand this either. But, then again, I’ve never understood why some gay guys say they are versatile when they only bottom.
Cam
So happy switch screenames to continue rambling in a desperate attempt to deflect from the investigation into Matt Gaetz
Cam
What we’ve really discovered is that Gaetz can’t afford decent people to troll for him.
Barbie Doll
If she doesn’t want him, I’ll take him! He’s brilliant. Cut the guy a break. Grateful we have someone in our state to stick up for the American people while we still have a country left. We taxpayers have paid out an average of $850,000. extortion shut-up money for the affairs of the left-liberal American-hating democraps including Al Franken, Bill Clinton, some black congressmen, and 268 other people to the tune of $17 miilion of our taxpayers money for this ‘Hush Fund” for these hypocrites, mostly all democrats. It is disgraceful how patriotic conservatives are being defamed in an attempt to hide the corrupt decades-long career politicians raping and pilfering our taxes for their own agendas with no regard for the safety, security, or welfare of the American citizens; they have made themselves multiple millionaires, have several mansions, and wake up, people! There are others, but I have the air-conditioner guy at the door! Bottom line, the guy is brilliant and he was extorted by $25 million – his family.
GayEGO
Ha ha ha! Another Trumpster caught messing around with under aged teens, like Roy Moore!
pugdad
Everyone is being very unfair to Gaetz and his generous nature. He will be announcing soon that Nestor has a little sister.
Mehki
One word…ewwww.
For the apologists with the twisted panties: Not for nothing, but it’s the right constantly screaming family values, I’m a Christian, and anti-gay rhetoric – which is why it makes it so delicious when they’re outted for their BS and hypocracy.
*That’s* why we gloat.
Meanwhile, we boot ours to the curb with a swiftness, while the right defends all manner of pervs and child molesters.
See the difference?
And, please can the right stop dragging the Clintons into everything? Is that the best you can do to defend child molesters?
Mr. Stadnick
Mar Largo seems to becoming the new hot singles bar for the the hateful and ignorant set. Is Melania calling all her old “model” friends to come on down and make some cash?

He has an odd look about him. Sort of Neanderthalish. He’s all head. No body.
