Matt Gaetz wasn't the one who had to answer the death threats and nasty grams, so I'm not sure his opinion of the matter is worth a shit. Then again.... maybe he's just laying the groundwork for the eventual release of his own guy on guy pics.
I'm just going to keep saying this..sex crime, engaged in for political benefit.

"OH NO! SHE CHEATED ON HER HUSBAND! SHE SHOULD BE FORCED OUT! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
Donald Trump slept with a pornstar while his wife was pregnant? WHO CARES?
Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer? THAT'S OKAY!
Dennis Hastert molested children? WE STILL HAVE A RULE NAMED FOR HIM!
Oh and let's not forget Matt Gaetz is a fucking drunk driver.
Give me a fucking break with this virtue signaling bullshit.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

I don't get it. Is it ok for politicians to cheat on their spouses or isn't it?

Doesn’t matter, So long as one accords one’s political opponent the freedom to do without disapprobation what one would forgiven when done by one’s political allies. That is the basis of civil political discourse. If that is not the most important rule to be followed, then politics is war to the death and woe betide those who show restraint.
If the the republican and their behind the scene supporters do not exhibit scrupulous adherence to this principle then it would be ok for dems to send republicans down wood chippers feet first, not ok for republicans to attempt to breath.

If you're gonna be in politics - it's going to be different than the average Jo....
My problem with her is using her resignation as a soapbox and blaming eveyone but herself.
Yet you have no problems with her (not being a republican), privacy being breached, while the breaching, done to serve republican interests, is criminal but not worth complaining about.
Go fuck yourself.
Just suckin that ( D )ick, ain't ya?
I really don't give a fuck which party she claims. Remember - Trump was a ( D ).
I, unlike you, don't think claiming any political affiliation gives you any moral superiority.
....
My problem with this person is she blames everyone except herself for her own actions...

Supporting and aping the tactics of the most intellectually and morally corrupt political party while not owning up to the blindingly obvious ideological affiliation certainly give you an insurmountable moral inferiority.

My point as well.
Fuck gender. I really hate the word "cheating" when the real word is "lying". It isn't wrong to have an open relationship as long as all involved going in expect it. But it is wrong to want one on one and lie to your partner too.
I've been dumped plenty of times in my life, which I am sure would shock the shit out of anyone reading this. 
But as much as it hurts, I agree, I would never dream of hurting my partner like that.

The lack of integrity on one side should not hurt it more than the same lack of integrity on the other side.
What makes democracy theoretically worthwhile at all is its practice are said to lead to more enlightened determination and assessment of policy options from the point of view of the entire political system. In recent practice American democracy has become the rule of the more effective thrower of shit for the narrow interest of those who are least scrupulous about truth and about the welfare of others in the system..
Right now American democracy is not looking good at all next to dictatorships in some other countries.

All powers involved friend or foe, it isn't a stretch to say that the more power one has, the more one thinks they can get away with anything.
Ethics is when you stop before you go too far, or when called out you step down.
And I agree, right now, our open system based on checks and balances is under threat.
