Matt Gaetz accuses GOP’s Kelly Loeffler of bribing Trump with $50 million to push out her rival

On Thursday, The Daily Beast reported that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is accusing Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) of offering President Donald Trump money for his re-election in return for helping her push opponent Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) out of the race.

"This is what the Loeffler team went to the Trump team with," said Gaetz at a campaign event for Collins. "They went and said, 'Look, you guys gotta get Doug Collins out of this race' . . . She said, 'I have $50 million for this project, and I can either spend my $50 million getting new voters and helping the Trump campaign, or I can spend that $50 million taking out Doug Collins.'"

"While other sources confirmed that a message about Loeffler's potentially diminished financial support was passed from her team to Trump's, they described Loeffler's reported ultimatum as more nuanced than Gaetz portrayed it," reported Lachlan Markay. "According to one source familiar with the interactions, the Loeffler team's offer had more to do with supporting other Senate candidates than with supporting the president, and was actually relayed to the president's campaign by way of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY. 'Basically it was to get McConnell and the Senate committee behind Loeffler and to not support Collins,' the source said."

Matt Gaetz is eventually going to be arrested for something so amazingly skeevy and stupid. Again, I should say. He’ll be arrested again.

This Senate seat will have a runoff in January that may determine who controls the Senate.

For a different reason, the other Georgia Senate seat may also have a runoff in January.

In Gaetz's case it's probably more like Bourbon Chicken.

Kelly has only been in the Senate since JAN20, she must like it. If there is any truth to Matt’s allegation, it makes you wonder what the draw is considering Kelly and her husband have more money than GOD.
