While Rep. Matt Gaetz continues to deny sex trafficking allegations from an intimate relationship with a 17-year-old, Saturday Night Live decided to comment on the situation.
In the segment “Weekend Update” co-host Jolin Jost commented on the allegations, saying “Representative Matt Gaetz, who looks like a character artist’s drawing of me, is reportedly under investigation for an alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl. Because Gaetz believes that only voters should have to show ID.”
He continued to roast Gaetz by mocking the public statement made by his lawyer that “Matt Gaetz has never paid for sex,” and “Matt Gaetz has never ever been on any such websites whatsoever.” Jost came up with his own response, saying “Colin Jost does not believe you” and “Colin Jost thinks you have been to alllll the websites.”
In a different segment Matt Gaetz, played by Pete Davidson, appeared on the ‘Britney Stars Talk Show’ along with Lil Nas X (Chris Redd) and Pepe Le Pew (Kate McKinnon), who was removed from the upcoming Space Jam film due to concerns about his sexual behavior.
Gaetz was introduced by Spears (Chloe Fineman) as a “hot mess” and “full-on sex pest.” During the show, he was questioned on some of the different allegations he is currently facing, from having a relationship with a teenager to taking ecstasy with prostitutes and showing nude photos of women he had slept with to colleagues in Congress.
When he denied the existence or the ‘illegality’ of these allegations Spears responded, “I think I can spot a teen predator when I see one. After all, I was on ‘Mickey Mouse Club.’”
Rather than hurt him in the upcoming elections, Gaetz mentioned these allegations would do the opposite, “Weirdly, in my district, they might help.”
The Florida congressman continues to face an investigation from the Justice Department, examining whether he broke the sex trafficking laws when he allegedly paid for the travel of a 17-year-old he was in an intimate relationship with.
Gaetz claims the allegations are false, and that he is being a victim of a scheme to extort his and his family’s money.
