“There’s no good reason to allow this man near kids,” Democratic state Rep. Fentrice Driskell told Vanity Fair of Gaetz’s appearance.
And as of this week, someone at Niceville High School in East Florida, notably in Gaetz’s district, thought it was a good idea for Gaetz to host an “Academy Night.” On Tuesday, Gaetz led the informational meeting and recruitment session to get high school students to enlist in military academies, which requires a nomination from a Congress member like Gaetz. The event has rightfully sparked heated backlash, particularly from the Women Against Matt Gaetz Facebook group and its 10,000 members.
“Why would we allow Matt Gaetz, who is under federal investigation for sex trafficking of a minor, into our school district?” She added, “To put kids in a position where they are going to have to ask this person for a favor, if you will, ‘hey, can you pick me?’—what message are we sending our kids?”that Gaetz’s in-person attendance was “very odd,” because most Congress members handle military service recruitment and interviews for Congressional nominations through their staff.
