Matt Gaetz

Matt, I really hate what they’re reporting about you, And the current investigation finds it is entirely not true, That you may refurbish your professional career The impact of the charges alone could ruin you, I fear. Gracious, you and I are of totally different persuasion And we agree on almost nothing on the average occasion, Except that I hate to see any young man’s life muddied The way sex-trafficking charges can leave one so sullied. Zingers keep coming; we hope for clearer information. Written April 7, 2021

When I see stuff like that I try to ignore it. Gossip is my biggest peeve. And that is what it is when they say things like this about people without undeniable proof, News cast or not, it's gossip. Reminds me of the old saying: "Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see." God Bless, JB

I agree with you, JB. Even if I disagree with a person's politics, I will defend their rights to believe as they do, and I hate to see young men and women sullied with this kind of stuff. OTOH, if he is guilty, then I suppose he'll have to bear the consequences of his decisions.

I am of the opinion that all news is "fake" unless I see it for myself now. Weirdly enough, I hope this is also "fake".

I'm beginning to feel the same way, Caren. I hate this, also. I hate to see a promising young man's career destroyed by the media if the accusations are untrue. Thanks for sharing.
