This should be the end of Matt Gaetz

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Niceville, Florida, is a lovely community with good schools and safe neighborhoods. But some in Niceville – and other places — are a bit upset right now for good reason. And that is because of a guest at one of their high schools. That guest is Matt Gaetz.

The wild-haired Gaetz was appearing at Niceville High School on Tuesday, August 16, to talk to students about their career interests. As expected, all hell broke loose. “This is a guy being investigated for sex trafficking a minor. Whose bright idea was it to let him anywhere near a high school?” one Floridian asked. “Inappropriate.” That is what many were saying.

And it is. It’s sort of like booking Samual Alito to speak about how awful the Salem Witch Trials were — or booking Lindsey Graham to talk about courage in standing up to traitors. Or like booking Tucker Carlson to talk about how women are indeed equal to men.

Cara Marion is running for the Okaloosa County School Board in Florida. And she had this to say: His decision to come in person to the event “was very odd.” She suggested Gaetz could have just sent an aide.

And I agree. Matt Gaetz should be nowhere near a high school, and this is something I am quite confident most will agree with me on. The man should actually never be allowed near a high school again. This was some very bad decision making, but with the public outcry it’s caused, hopefully, this will not become a regular occurrence.
