The Republican Rep. from Florida — who has been accused of statutory rape — appeared up at a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday to show his support for the #FreeBritney movement. Gaetz is currently under investigation for possible sex trafficking. According to The Daily Beast, Gaetz’s former friend Joel Greenberg had written a letter accusing Gaetz of paying for sex with multiple women, including a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.

It was strange to see the disgraced Gaetz alongside the rest of the #FreeBritney rally, and some wondered if he really cared about the pop star’s legal battle or was trying to rehabilitate his image.
“Now, the whole world knows what Britney Spears wants, and it is the freedom and liberty that should be offered to every single American,” Gaetz told the crowd. “There’s a lot that still divides us, but one thing we can all agree on is that Jamie Spears is a dick.”
“She is nearly 40 years old. She should make her own decisions, but you know what, this case should open our eyes to broader abuse that occurs in this system,” he added.
Not everyone in the crowd was impressed with Gaetz’s speech. On Twitter, people remarked on how he was definitely not the right person to be speaking at a #FreeBritney event.
