    Jeet Heer Retweeted Harold Pollack

    Both sex work & drugs should be decriminalized. If Gaetz had sex with a minor, he should be charged with rape. If he got one of his paramours a sinecure they didn't deserve, that's also a possible crime.https://twitter.com/haroldpollack/status/1393682979235500032 …

    I am always ambivalent when a bad person/hypocrite is found to engage in drug use. Gaetz is a bad actor who has committed serious misconduct. Many good people get into trouble with cocaine+other drugs. We should always be wary when we are enjoying an adversary’s bad fortune.

        They still shouldn’t be paid for except with ones own money.

        Saying things should be decriminalized is not the same thing as saying they have been decriminalized. He was a sitting member of Congress for heaven's sake.

        Also, needless to say Gaetz has not been shy about attacking others for the recreational use of drugs, and if he hasn't attacked others for using prostitutes it will have been for lack of opportunity, not because of principle.

        Isn’t the underage interstate sex trafficking, allegedly, the key point?

        Holy shit it’s amazing how many civil libertarians have a blind spot for understanding the coercion involved in of-age sex trafficking.

        Has Gaetz ever supported decriminalizing drugs?

        If there was an exchange of sex work for some kind of special legislative treatment (as alleged w/r/t the weed doctor), that's also a crime

        That’s not what he’s saying he’s talking about cocaine lowering peoples inhibitions as a justification, implying Gaetzes morals would be better if he weren’t coked up.
