This is the crap I'm talking about. Kevin McCarthy gave a rep, with a current open sex-trafficking investigation, a committee chair assignment. This guy's blind and selfish ambition is going to eff all of us over, for years. Gave up what any little federal legislative functioning we have left for a shiny line on his resume but no actual respect to go with it.

How is this any different from IIlan Omar being on the House Foreign Affairs Committee? Answer....it isn't.
And just so I'm on the record, not a fan of Gaetz or KM for that matter.
Are you rough ridin' kidding? How's it different? Was Ilhan Omar subjected to a federal sex trafficking investigation? You just compared someone you don't like because of their identity. Not to mention the very rough ridin' obvious difference between Omar being on her committee and Gaetz charing his. You're really telling on yourself here, purp.
I don't like her but it's not because of her identity. Nice try. You know as well as I about her alleged marriage to her brother to gain her green card. I realize that might be garbage but she did marry her political consultant and she has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign payments to his company. Boy that's not sketchy or wrong huh? And has Gaetz been convicted of anything? Don't get mad at me because you don't like Gaetz because he's white (see what I did there? super easy to do).
None of those things you pointed out about Omar come close to alleged sex trafficking, they aren't even illegal. You also keep failing to distinguish between being on a committee and being the chair of a committee simply because a dude wanted a vote for speaker of the house.
You made a really shitty false equivalency, in a rush to devalue a point you didn't like. When you reply to this, instead of tripling down on the really bad Ilhan Omar comparison, take the time to find a better example that the democrats did in the past, I'm sure there is one. I'll tell you in advance though, I won't give a crap, I'm not a democrat and whatever they did last month, last year, last decade, won't make this appointment any less dubious.
The libs cowered to the extreme left and the pubs cowered to that cocksucker, ultimately that's the point. If you want to make a big deal of being on a committee compared to being a chair, knock yourself out. Semantics as far as I'm concerned. That's how they've always played this game.
And I'm glad you think that being an alleged sex trafficker is worse than an Anti-Semitic using campaign funds illegally is worse. Well no crap. Neither of them has been charged so that point is moot. They're both pieces of crap.
Not for nothing, you can't be charged with anti-Semitism, sex trafficking very much is a law punishable by prison. Do you think you're posting in one of your echo chambers where mentioning Ilhan Omar is enough to make everyone else forget the point at hand? I gave you an out, you refused to take it.
All you're doing by calling Gaetz a piece of crap then using nothing than ultra conservative tropes as a means of comparison for Omar, is showing that, yeah, you don't have much basis for this other than you don't like that she's a black, lib, Muslim woman. Again, there are definitely better examples of inappropriate democratic legislative cronyism out there without having to TesAgs it up.
