Several hundred alumni of the law school that Matt Gaetz attended, which includes by the way about three dozen who actually graduated. And Matt Gaetz is class of 2007 from William and Mary law school. But 500 of them have signed onto a letter urging Matt Gaetz to resign for abandoning the principles that are taught at William and Mary law school. Now, one of those principles is for graduates to go out and become citizen

Lawyers, devote part of their time to furthering public causes.

In other words, you have to help people with your position, with your knowledge, with your skills as a new lawyer, we expect you to go out there and do some frigging good in the world.

And

As I think we're all aware, Matt Gaetz has done exactly zero good

In this world, ever. These

People who signed onto this letter say that Matt Gaetz is an embarrassment to their school and they want him to resign. Now that's the big part of it, right? The other part of it, uh, according to interviews that some of these alumni had with business insider is that they also believe that Matt gates hasn't changed from the person. He was back in 2007, which is on par with what his former high school classmates said, uh, who says he's the same person he was in the year, 2000, you know, this wannabe frat boy type that cares more about drinking and partying than literally anything

Else on the planet. So why

Does that matter? Why is that relevant to anything happening in the world of Matt gates right now?

I'll tell you why.

If you were prosecuting a case against an individual, the first, first, first thing you're going to want to establish about that individual is a pattern of behavior. And that's what we're seeing emerge with all these stories with Matt gates. Again, recently, they spoke to his high school classmates high school classmates, and they say, this guy hasn't changed from what he was when he was 17 and 18 years old. Well, now they're talking to the law school people, you know, seven years after the high school, maybe he's grown up.

They say, Nope, he didn't grow up

Between high school and law school. And he clearly, hasn't grown up between law school. And today it's all about partying. It's all about women. It's all about booze. It's all about having a good time. And of course being the center of attention, that's another thing they pointed out. Gates always wanted to be

The center. He struggled with it. They said he

Desperately wanted it, but wasn't sure how to do it.

This is a pattern of behavior and sure.

It may not be a pattern of criminal behavior. There's nothing wrong with a bunch of law school kids getting together at somebody's house and having a party and everybody getting loaded.

You know, that's okay. What it does show

Is that gates prioritizes the social life, the social aspect

Above all else. And after all, a lot of the stories we have heard,

Um, as that have come out of this investigation

Is gates was partying. Gates may have been on illegal drugs at the time. You know, gates was

Paying for these women to go down to The Bahamas. It's the party boy frat boy mentality that he

Never grew out of. And

Part of that mentality comes with the invincibility

Or at least

The perceived invincibility.

I can do whatever I want because nothing bad is going to happen to me. And then when,

And if the bad things happen, dad's going to get me out of trouble. And that's what his father did for him.

But gates can't live in that life forever. And the guy's

Approaching 40 years old. You got to grow up sometime, especially when you're representing a hard right district right down here in the Bible belt. The saddest thing is, I honestly don't think most of the voters down here care, oh, if it was anybody else doing these things, they would absolutely be up in arms calling for this person to not only be removed from office,
