This situation, below, is so unfair. The CPAC event is floundering, and Fox News may not even cover it, just because CPAC honcho Matt Schlapp “sexually fondled” another man.
What hypocrites! Matt has promised he won’t do it again. Doesn’t he deserve a second chance? #RedemptionForMatt https://www.rawstory.com/matt-schlapp-cpac-groping/ CPAC founder grovels amid groping claims: 'Kevin McCarthy is not coming to CPAC; I wish he would' "Kevin McCarthy is not coming to CPAC; I wish he would," Schlapp said. "[I]t remains to be seen if and how Fox News will cover the annual right-wing confab amid CPAC boss Matt Schlapp's alleged groping scandal," the report said. |
Maybe McCarthy just doesn’t want anyone grabbing his junk
Seems reasonable |
The reason Fox News isn’t covering it is because DeSantis isn’t coming. |
Matt makes one mistake, misreads the vibe one time, and now he is branded this way. Not fair. |
is that a pun |
To be honest there was some weird stuff said about the accuser by Caroline Wren, but he sued her too so maybe we will see if that gets settled or dropped... |
Matt allegedly groped a man, not a woman. |
he [accuser] sued her [Caroline Wren] too [in addition to suing Matt Schlapp] |
??? Your comment is nonsequitor |
Has anyone considered that the victim put out signals to Matt that he (the victim) was interested in having an encounter? So when Schlapp groped/fondled him, he really just thought he was responding to mutual interest and attraction. It takes two to tango! |
CPAC had been getting weirder and weirder. Putting aside the allegations about the founder, lots of people have been backing away as CPAC has gotten more extreme and started its lovefest with Orban. And Orban claiming at last years CPAC that Tucker Carlson is the only legit US journalist. I mean, wut. No one's got time for that crap anymore. |
Assault is not a “tango.” |
There are any number of scenarios. But none of us were there so it makes sense to let the process play out vs assuming that either man is lying. |
It really is unfortunate to see CPAC suffering simply because Matt Schlapp tried to hook up with another man, or sexually fondled him, or whatever the term is. Can't people look past one lust-driven mistake? |
The allegation is assault, not an indiscretion. |
