    Either he’s a pedophile or the people pulling his strings are. Either way, the outcome is the same, the GOP is a party that protects (and has tons of) pedophiles.

    We always known this (look at how they try to lower the age of consent/marriage), but now they’re not really keeping the mask up. Gonna be interesting to see how many red hats heel turn to saying pedophelia is ok because Daddy trump said so.

      They’ve always thought it was okay. Red States are hotbeds of teen pregnancy, and we all know how pregnancies happen.

        The rate of teen pregnancy is a non sequitur in this conversation, unless you’re suggesting that teens don’t get other teens pregnant. Age requirements for marriage/consent are a better indicator, since outside of Romeo and Juliet statues, that’s relevant to the conversation at hand.

        The MAGAt politicians ran on an anti-pedo line that got the base (and the Qultists) all hot and bothered last election, and it seems to be one of the things the base was pushing back on. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, whether the base finally turns on the Supreme Casino Bankrupter or if they decide diddling kids is ok when their team does it. Which is the most likely, considering the long history of pedo and sex pest politicians in the GOP.
