Absolutely disgusting how quick people are to assume a woman would lie more than they’d believe that a man is guilty. 1 in 3 women is assaulted in their lifetimes. Most don’t file reports. It’s the hardest crime to prosecute because it’s so hard to prove and so many people like PP making it harder.

He is unfit for a number of reasons. Thee are millions of men who have never been accused of sex crimes. Hire one of those. Why is that too much to ask????

There is a lot of misinformation on this thread. For example, is nothing in the police report about it being part of her job to get him to his room.

I find a lot about the allegation to not be credible but the thing that sticks out the most is that witnesses say she was fine the next day. She says she thinks she may have been drugged. Anyone who has actually been roofied knows that you feel like a train rolled over you the next day.


I read the report and noted that it seems undisputable that he is a sleazebag who was putting his hand on other women's legs against their will and overtly trying to sleep with them when they were not into him. Jst nasty gross behavior. Would say that alone generally indicates he probably doesn't understand boundaries and shouldn't be trusted with our nation's secrets - just takes one hot spy and a few drinks and that man will be saying whatever they want.


I agree 100% he's a sleazebag. I don't however agree he sexually assaulted this woman. Her story is laughably bogus.

Alleged sexual assault happened early Sunday morning between 2am and 4am. Woman is seen on camera arm and arm with Pete going into his room.

The woman didn't go to police until Thursday. She claims she was possibly drugged and didn't remember much of the night.

To me, it reads like her husband was grilling her all week and didn't believe her story about where she was until 4am. Then she claimed she was sexually assaulted and maybe drugged, too.


You're using Megyn Kelly as a source. Do better.

Must be exhausting to be a Trumpie and feel like you have to defend all of his nonsense.

I agree the report says he was inappropriate. That doesn’t make him a rapist and by this logic Joe Biden should not be trusted with our nation’s secrets either.

The military has a problem with sexual harassment and rape and Donald nominates at the very most, a stone-cold, Roofie, rapist. And, at the very least, a sexual harasser and molester who inappropriately touch multiple women against their will. Tell women without telling women that they are not safe from their own servicemen and hierarchy without telling them. So much for "I will protect women, even if they don't like it."

There was no rape.


Weird use of passive voice. You don’t know if he raped her or not, the allegations seem credible and some of the undisputed facts are troubling enough that he shouldn’t be confirmed. What’s really upsetting is that we are going to blame the failure of his nomination on a woman, instead of the real reasons he’s unsuitable.



NP. Understand that every R nominee for anything is eventually acccused of a sex crime or accessory to one. At this point, it’s just the ‘go to’. Considering Harris paid for endorsements, it’s a good bet there is are also others who are paid to smear

Wrong. Neither Marco Rubio nor Pam Bondi have been accused of rape, conspiracy of rape, or covering up a rape. Trump needs to stop nominating rapist, especially the ones that leave a trail of evidence.

Actually, it doesn’t seem credible at all. Literally zero witness (and there were a lot of people interacting with her up to and after the alleged event) can corroborate her story about being drugged. Witness said appeared completely sober the entire night, including the staff member that talked to her minutes before she willingly walked arm and arm smiling and laughing up to his room. Yet…she “doesn’t remember how she got there.” Those that investigated the entire string of events and witnesses found this was not a credible claim.

Understand that many R nominees actually committed sex crimes, and Republicans have internally normalized it. It sounds like you're supportive of sex crimes.

It seems like he’s trying to rebrand the Rs as the part of sexual abusers. At the same time, it seems on brand.
