What's the "news" here? This guy is a dickhead?
I'd say any time you can officially document a politician abusing a child, verbally or otherwise, it counts.
let me know when he gets charged with child abuse
Does a literal crime have to be committed for it to be significant? This man has no business being in office and that just got proven to the world. I would call that news.
Even if it was a crime, people like them have already showed their playbook. They'll deny it, call the charges fake, then create some deep state conspiracy as to why the opposing side would do such a thing. The right and their apologists are the definition of 'no accountability'.
we disagree then
It's not "news" in the sense that something extreme happened, but because these "pages" are usually the nephew of the Senator, or the Granddaughter of a supreme court justice, or the son of a CEO of a bank.
This is a public "Denunciation" of this dude, so the REAL people in charge don't bite them, when the families go after an "Apology"
This is an interesting angle I hadn’t considered…
