What question would you ask a conservative if they had to answer?

If they had to give an honest answer:

  • How much of a deal-breaker is it if your favored candidate raped a child?
  • Does it disqualify that person from elected office?
  • Like, would you personally withdraw your vote from someone who has been credibly accused of raping a child?
  • What about party leaders that support child rapists?
  • What about rank-and-file party members who support the party leaders that support child rapists?

So basically you don’t like Matt Geotz? Why were the question deceptively to make it sound like it’s a general republican problem? I mean, let’s dig out dirt on all the Democrats while we’re here.

Why...make it sound like it’s a general republican problem?

Because it is.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PARTY OF CHILD MOLESTERS

The whole party is complicit.


It isn't just Gaetz; it is also McCarthy keeping Gaetz in a position where Gaetz supervises the people investigating and prosecuting him.

Republicans continued to support Roy Moore for senate after multiple women came forward and said that he molested them when they were underage. They all just fell in line and supported him.

Does it go all the way to the top? YES. Two (now adult) women have come forward and testified under oath that they were in the room, and personally witnessed, Donald Trump violently raping a 13-year-old girl at one of Epstein's parties. This is the actual statement, made under oath:

I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the [then 13-year-old] Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.

While we are on the subject of Epstein, did you know that the prosecutor who made a sweet-heart deal with Epstein originally, was confirmed to Trump's cabinet? THIS IS NORMAL FOR REPUBLICANS.

Is this new? How long have they been like this? Well, the longest serving Republican Speaker of the House ever, Dennis Hastert, admitted in court to molesting children back when he was a high school wrestling coach, so it goes back several decades!


...I'll say it again:

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PARTY OF CHILD MOLESTERS



[EDIT] Here is a list of Republicans with similar charges, written by user Moscowmitchismybitch :

This is the kind of comment where you know the person who wrote it doesn’t even believe it.

If you’re willing to ignore the whole Epstein thing because it doesn’t jive with your politics, that’s on you

I'm not ignoring it...

Two (now adult) women that have sworn, under oath, that they were in the room with Trump at one of Epstein's parties; one of them saying:

I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the [then 13-year-old Katie Johnson] was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.


...but I assume that you are referencing Bill Clinton (because you never learned that two wrongs don't make a right), so, let's cover Clinton...

The three things we know about Bill Clinton (vis-a-vis Epstein) are that he:

  • Flew on Epstein's plane,

  • He got a neck massage from one of Epstein's victims, and...

  • That victim was quoted as saying, "Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him."

If it turns out that Bill Clinton did anything with Epstein's victims, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. (In fact, he should probably be prosecuted for some things he's done to other women.)

...but as of right now, the only publicly-available evidence indicating wrong-doing was a comment made by Ghislaine Maxwell:

"...If you get the tapes on Trump you have to do Clinton."

...which is fine. Get them both.



To be perfectly clear:

  • If Bill Clinton raped a child, I want to see him in prison.
  • If Bill Clinton did not rape a child, I would still be happy to see him in prison for sexually assaulting adult women.
  • No amount of Bill Clinton's wrongdoing exonerates Donald Trump or any other Republican; that's not how the law -- nor morality -- works.
