A Tennessee Congressman warns that fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives have been lured into honeytraps with sex workers and drugs changing the way they vote, he said this week.

“If it’s women, drugs, booze, it will find you in D.C. and in most elected offices,” Rep. Tim Burchett told podcaster Benny Johnson. “That’s what people, power and influence do.”

As Burchett tells it, Republicans aren’t backing important efforts, such as Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s crusade for Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs, because they’re being bullied by big backers and Russians.

    Yeah, the only reason they turned on Gaetz is he was dumb enough to say this stuff on a podcast…

    Even if this guy is actually clean, he’s going under the bus as well.
