  • On March 30, 2021, The New York Times reported that Florida U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz was being investigated by the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for a possible sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. The New York Times reported: After the news broke, social media users started talking about past tweets and actions that seemed suspicious. For instance, Gaetz was the only No vote on the Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act in 2017. Social media users also shared a tweet from Gaetz in which he said that the message there's no age that you can't be sexy should be on Florida's welcome signs. This is a genuine tweet from Gaetz. It is still available on his timeline and an archived version can be viewed here. While this tweet may appear damaging or suspicious in light of the DOJ investigation, there is a bit of missing context here. Bebe Rexha, a singer, posted the message about being sexy shortly before her 30th birthday. The message was also posted immediately after Rexha posted a longer message about how a music executive had once told her that she was too old to be sexy. Rexha's message reads in part: Gaetz truly did post a message saying that there's no age that you can't be sexy should be on Florida's welcome sign. While some may interpret this as some sort of Freudian slip from Gaetz, the original message concerned the idea that women can continue to be sexy as they age out of their 20s. (en)
