She’s qualified…she has a sex scandal! Google for your edification. [/quote]

Why am I not surprised yet another Trump nominee is facing a sex scandal? is this the scandal you were talking about PP or is there another one?

“Last month, a group of five former “ring boys” named the McMahons in a sex abuse lawsuit along with World Wrestling Entertainment and its parent company, TKO Group. The John Does alleged that from the 1970s to the 1990s, former WWE announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. groomed and sexually assaulted them and other minors, without any consequences.

What’s more, they claimed the McMahons—in their capacity as chief WWE executives—specifically knew about and ignored Philips’s predation. His “peculiar and unnatural interest” in young boys prompted the couple to fire Phillips in 1988, the lawsuit says; they quickly reinstated him on the condition he “steer clear from kids,” which he didn’t.

Democrats don’t have sex scandals?

Already forgot about Clinton, and nearly every single Kennedy? (other than RFK Jr. - so far). [/quote]

Dems absolutely have sex scandals, too, but there is less tolerance for that these days due to the Me Too movement and changing mores. In McMahon's case, the scandal is that she and her husband knew about sexual abuse of young WWE "ring boys" and failed to protect the boys. The scandal goes back to 1992 and received renewed attention in 2024 after a documentary aired covering the case. I assume the sexual abuse suit against them is still ongoing. Not something you'd want to have hanging over your new Secretary of Education, especially since it involves youth.

"The ring boy scandal received renewed attention after the release of the 2024 Netflix documentary miniseries Mr. McMahon, which covered the 1992 scandals in its second episode. After the series aired, five John Does in Maryland collectively sued the WWE and both Linda and Vince McMahon for negligence, alleging that Phillips assaulted and groomed them at various points during the 1980s, and that the McMahons "knew or should have known" about Phillips' actions, but instead "knowingly fostered and allowed a culture of sexual misconduct to permeate the WWE".
