Rep. Matt Gaetz said he asked for former President Donald Trump's approval before proposing to his now-wife Ginger Luckey, with whom he eloped over the weekend amid a federal sex trafficking probe.
The Florida Republican, 39, and Luckey, 26, met at a dinner at Mar-a-Lago in March 2020 and the two got engaged at the same Trump-owned resort on December 30, 2020.
"You never want to upstage the big guy," Gaetz told Vanity Fair, adding that Trump called him and his then-fiance "a dynamic duo" and sent a bottle of his company's champagne to their table.
Gaetz is under federal investigation as part of the inquiry that led his close friend, Joel Greenberg, a former Seminole county, Florida tax collector, to plead guiltyto six federal crimes, including sex trafficking of a child. As part of his plea deal, Greenberg is continuing to cooperate with federal investigators on a larger sex trafficking probe. Gaetz is being investigated for allegedly violating sex trafficking laws and having sex with a 17-year-old girl. He's denied any wrongdoing.

Disgusting.

(11,722 posts)I mean I already dislike the guy so I am obviously biased. I can understand talking to your partner's parents to make sure that they approve of you as a partner for their son/daughter, but Donald Trump? Who the fuck cares what that idiot has to say about anything? Gaetz literally asked the idiot Trump for "approval" to propose to his girlfriend? Neither had ANY relation to Trump, so why would his approval be worth a squirt of piss?
