Matt Gaetz's law school classmates want him to resign -- and reveal details of his college years

June 13, 2021

In interviews with Business Insider, former classmates of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R -FL) when he was attending William & Mary Law School, expressed dismay at continuing reports of his sex scandals and want him to resign immediately.

Along the way, they recalled his hard-partying ways when they were in school with him, with one adding of his recent exploits that have him under federal investigation, "Am I surprised he's partying with people or doing that kind of stuff? No."

According to the report, "In interviews, many of Gaetz's former friends and acquaintances from William & Mary Law School's class of 2007 said they were embarrassed by the constant headlines about the GOP congressman's scandals. Insider spoke with 14 of Gaetz's former classmates. Most of them spoke on condition of anonymity to protect personal and professional relationships," with Insider adding, "One former law-school classmate regularly trolls Gaetz on Twitter by welcoming the congressman's critics to the 'Matt Haetz Society.'"

Insider reports that "Of the more than 500 William & Mary Law School alumni who signed a petition urging Gaetz to resign, 34 of them were members of Gaetz's own class of 2007, of which there were about 200 people overall."

He's a liar, a cheat and has less morals than the devil himself. They say you can't judge a book by the cover but in this case, yes, it pretty much matches up. The man is absolutely slithery.

Unfortunately the current brand of Republican voter seems to prefer that sort and his colleagues in Washington are more than happy to condone that sort of filth. I doubt he is going anywhere, any time soon.

Most wealthy young men who are only looking for casual hookups don’t have to look very hard. Matt must make a truly horrible impression right out of the gate.

I'm in favour of both, by the way. Just so we're clear.

Jeez. One might think my 10,000th post might be a little pithier, right? I choose to view it as being important in its own way.
