Rep Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) may be in trouble, but he isn't running away.
The Florida Republican is reportedly under investigation for transporting a 17-year-old girl across state lines to have sex.
That news led to allegations he has shown nude photos of his purported sex partners to colleagues on the floor of the House of Representatives " behavior that may not be illegal but (if true) is certainly dishonorable, gross, and wrong.
Predictably, there have been calls for Gaetz to resign.
Just as predictably, he has dismissed those demands.
