As the Gaetz scandal unfurls, the congressman has kept himself squarely in the spotlight.
The congressman, who is reportedly being investigated for the possible sex trafficking of a minor, has happily given interviews and on-the-record quotes, penned op-eds and furiously retweeted supportive articles and takes from rightwing outlets.
On Tuesday, he took that baffling PR strategy a step further as he sent out a fundraising blast to his supporters bemoaning the smear campaign.
The far-left New York Times has been publishing salacious allegations against me in an attempt to end my career fighting for the forgotten men and women of this country, the email read. It is a shame that the Left tries to drag my dating life into their political attacks, but its no surprise when your ideas suck, you have to stoop this low.

Didn't daddy commit fraud on Medicare or some such? Sounds like son fell pretty close to the tree and comes by his crimes honestly.
Is the wedding still on? Is there really a wedding or is that a lie, too?
