SEE IT: ‘Saturday Night Live’ skewers Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz over sex scandals – ‘Judge him by his face’
Forget God; only Britney Spears can judge Matt Gaetz.
The Florida congressman, in the mud in several sex scandals including sex workers and at least one underage girl, landed on “Saturday Night Live’s” recurring fictitious Britney Spears show, “Oops, You Did it Again,” during this weekend’s show, alongside Lil Nas X and cartoon skunk Pepe Le Pew.
While Spears (Chloe Fineman) eventually determined that she couldn’t legally declare Gaetz, played by Pete Davidson, innocent or “not that innocent,” the fictional pop star showed no attempts to hide her disdain for the Trump apologist, beginning with her introduction: “As we’d say in the early 2000s, a hot mess and as we’d say today, a full-on sex pest.”
Spears then ran through a list of some of the recent allegations against the Republican congressman, including a Department of Justice investigation into whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and a CNN report that he frequently showed nude photos of women he slept with to other lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
“Which is not a crime!” the fake Gaetz said of the photo swap. “Just horrifying.”
“I think I can spot a teen predator when I see one,” Spears responded. “After all I was on ‘Mickey Mouse Club.’”

Gaetz claimed his accusers are simply maligning him for his defense of former president Donald Trump before being reminded that his idol has said “squat” in support.
Even after determining she didn’t have the legal authority to render judgement, Spears encouraged her viewers to “judge him by his face.”
“Uh oh,” Gaetz responded.
Elsewhere in the show, Colin Jost also took shots at Gaetz during the “Weekend Update.”
“Representative Matt Gaetz, who looks like a caricature artist’s drawing of me, is reportedly under investigation for an alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl. Because Gaetz believes that only voters should have to show ID. It’s also being reported that Gaetz may have paid for sex with women he met online. That story has since been confirmed by his whole vibe,” Jost said.
“Gaetz then defended himself, releasing this very normal statement. See if any of it sounds suspicious to you: ‘Matt Gaetz has never paid for sex. Matt Gaetz has never, ever been on any such websites whatsoever. Matt Gaetz cherishes the relationships in his past and looks forward to marrying the love of his life.’ Here’s my response statement: ‘Colin Jost does not believe you. Colin Jost thinks you have been to alllll the websites. Colin Jost thinks you should hold off on sending out those wedding invites.’”
