“Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost pummeled Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz over his boast about who was supporting him amid sex trafficking allegations: Donald Trump, Georgia QAnon disciple Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, who has been bashed for doing nothing during sexual assaults of members of his former university wrestling team.
“Oh no. Did he think those were good character references? Who’s next?” scoffed Jost. “The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein?”
Gaetz bragged about his support when he spoke Friday at the Women For America First summit. It’s a “nice change to see women pay for an hour with Matt Gaetz,” smiled Jost.
Gaetz allegedly sent $900 via Venmo to an alleged sex trafficker, who then reportedly forwarded the same amount to young women in payments labeled ‘tuition’ and ‘school,’” Jost noted.
“If true,” Jost quipped, it would make Gaetz the “only congressman actually helping with student loans.”
