In March 2021, The New York Times reported that U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida was under investigation for whether he had violated federal sex trafficking laws that make it illegal to induce someone under 18 to travel over state lines to engage in sex in exchange for money or something of value. Gaetz allegedly paid for a 17-year-old girl to travel with him around two years prior. The bombshell report drew scrutiny of Gaetz’ past, including his voting record.

Missouri Republican Josh Hawley is under fire after becoming the only member of the Senate to vote against the anti-Asian hate crime bill. The legislation passed on Thursday in a 94-1 vote.

However, Hawley’s decision to vote against the legislation, which would aid in preventing hate crimes against Asians, resulted in backlash from the folks on Twitter who criticized the senator for opposing a bill that would protect a group.
