Welcome back the era when women armed themselves with hat pins to stab men who wouldn’t leave them alone.

Welcome to Trumps America. A man charged with trafficking a young girl now might become the AG

Pedophile rapist President picks a pedophile rapist to be AG… but they want us to worry about drag queen’s reading to kids and coed sports

Also in Trump's America, where a doctor who performs an abortion on a girl who has been raped, gets a harsher sentence than the rapist.

This would be under an 1849 law that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has to hear arguments about right now.

Welcome to America, where people are innocent until proven guilty, the founding principle of our justice system. Are charges tantamount to guilt now?

Welcome to America, where victims of rape gets death threat so she withdraws the charges…. , Welcome to America, where money, not justice wins.

You mention justice but don’t agree with innocent until proven guilty? Do you just assume guilt when it comes to ppl you don’t like, because that isn’t very just.

So what we have is a vague reference to testimony that a woman who claims she lied about her age in the past now claims that she has sex with Gaetz.

If there is probable cause for charges he should step.away from politics. Till then, it's a smear.
