Rep. Matt Gaetz got in an argument with Florida state Rep. Chris Latvala that ended with Latvala accusing the Florida Republican of sleeping around.

The spat started Monday after Latvala posted a picture of himself with Al Sharpton with the caption, "It was an honor to meet @TheRevAl today."

Gaetz, 37, responded by tweeting out previous controversial comments by Sharpton. "Sharpton has called Cops 'pigs' Whites 'interlopers' Greeks 'homos' and Jews 'diamond merchants' So that is pretty disgusting," he said.

Latvala then dredged up old allegations against Gaetz. "And you created a game where members of the FL House got 'points' for sleeping with aides, interns, lobbyists, and married legislators. Hope DC is treating you well, [Congressman]," the Florida Republican said.

Gaetz slammed Latvala and maintained he had owned him on Twitter. "Don't confuse me for your daddy when it comes to abusing power for sex," he replied. "Also, I missed the defense of Sharpton in your reply."

"Have you been drinking tonight? I hope you dont get behind the wheel. I know you have had a rough few days up there," Latvala said, before Gaetz said that he had spent the day with President Trump, whom he described as his "friend & supporter."

Latvala's accusation against Gaetz came from a 2013 tweet by then- Miami Herald reporter Marc Caputo, who wrote, "Hey ladies! Source: young male FL Reps have point-system contest for having sex: 1=lobbyist 2=staff 3=other legislator 6=married legislator."

Gaetz later told the Tampa Bay Times that Latvala was "projecting" his own family's problems on someone else. "I know Jack Latvala has to resign in disgrace over demanding sexual favors from lobbyists in exchange for appropriations, so it was likely Chris projecting," the Florida representative said about Latvala's father. "I dont start conversations with people on Twitter about their sex lives. Especially Latvalas."
