FAfter a cold opening that saw Pete Davidson debut his scary Quagmire-style Matt Gaetz, Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update continued the attack.
“Representative Matt Gaetz, who looks like a drawing of me by a caricatural artist, is reportedly under investigation for an alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl – because Gaetz believes that only voters should show their identity,” joked Colin Jost. “It is also being reported that Gaetz may have paid to have sex with women he met online. This story was confirmed by all its vibration. “
Yes, Gaetz is currently under investigation for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old girl and possibly violating sex trafficking laws by paying for her to travel beyond state limits. In addition, as CNN reported, Gaetz is also accused of showing nude photos of women he had allegedly slept with fellow congressmen on the floor of the Chamber and of having ecstatic antics with prostitutes.
Jost then addressed Gaetz’s incredibly strange (and unconvincing) statement about the allegations, made in the third person: “Matt Gaetz never paid for sex … Matt Gaetz was never on any of these sites … Matt Gaetz appreciates relationships in his past and hopes to marry the love of his life. ”
To this end, Jost released his own statement in response: “Colin Jost does not believe you … Colin Jost thinks you have accessed all the sites … Colin Jost thinks you should postpone the sending of these wedding invitations.”
Of course, the QAnon crowd that loves Trump – conspiracy theorists who believe that Trump, a good friend of Jeffrey Epstein, was somehow waging a secret battle against an army of Democratic and Hollywood pedophile sex traffickers – was remarkably silent on the revelations. of Gaetz.
“This is the craziest part of this story for me: an acting congressman is being accused of child trafficking and the QAnon people suddenly think, ‘Nah, I need more evidence,'” said Jost. “That was your whole thing! I mean, come on! Matt Gaetz’s girlfriend, she supposedly was 17, 17º letter of the alphabet is Q, it all adds up! What are you waiting for? The storm finally came, and QAnon is like, ‘You can’t believe everything you read on the internet.’ “
If that weren’t enough, Gaetz was the only Congressional representative to vote against a 2017 human trafficking bill.
