2. Im sure this list

is just the tip of iceberg.

[Towlie]

3. Perhaps more reasonable: The Republican Party is the party of choice for rapists and pedophiles.

The title implies that if you're a Republican they you're probably a rapist or pedophile, which is much too hyperbolic. It's much more reasonable to say that if you're a rapist or pedophile then you're probably a Republican.

4. If you have one Nazi in your party

and you're cool with it, then you are in a Nazi party.

5. Excellent summary, thanks for sharing!

Small point of fact though, this: "Donald Trump walked into Miss Teen USA change rooms with girls as young as 14 changing" is an allegation, not a known fact. Snopes and some other fact-check sites have a good run-down on the situation, they're fairly easy to find.

[usedtobedemgurl]

6. Is it only an allegation

Because no one checked back on what he was saying? Because it was not settled as true in court? A Kong time ago, I am sure I heard this from donnie, himself, on the Howard Stern show. I mean, I know he lies, but I don't think this is one. Several contestants confirmed it was true.

[AZJonnie]

7. You cannot be sure you heard that on Stern, because that's not what he said.

Like I say, Snopes has a good article on the subject. Yes, well after he made the Stern comments, one or two girls said they saw him in the Teen USA dressing room, but some others in the same contests said there's no way that happened or they would've known, and speculated that because a lot of girls were first in Miss Teen USA then graduated to Miss USA, they maybe misremembered when they saw him.

The fact that we know he did it with 18-25 year old's, then bragged about it publicly, and allegedly did the same with the minor contestants, is certainly creepy enough to be damning.

11. A list from PBS about the many allegations against Trump involving sexual assault and inappropriate behavior

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/assault-allegations-donald-trump-recapped

It looks like there are 5 women who have claimed he entered the Miss Teen USA dressing room(s). Three are anonymous, which, given his history, is pretty understandable.

[AZJonnie]

17. I'm not saying the dude didn't do it, and most certainly would have LOVED to!!!

But it's fair to call it an allegation at this point, others that were part of the same contests have said 'no way that happened' because news of something like that would've spread like wildfire in a changing room of teenage girls.

"Trump bragged to Stern that he visited the Miss USA dressing room regularly, to 'inspect the product', which has confirmed by contestants. Two former contestants have gone on record claiming he also did the same thing in the Teen Miss USA pageant, where the girls are as young as 15".

That is 100% accurate, and only a tiny bit less incriminating. No reason to not just claim what's factually known, IMHO. That keeps our side of the street clean, as the saying goes.

[harumph]

8. IIRC, I think someone at the dailyKos used to keep a list.

It may still be out there. Anecdotally there is a noticeable association of these behaviors and
the party of choice. It seems to be so pronounced that an academic study should be conducted.
No doubt there have been some democratic pols that were pedophiles, rapists, etc., but there seems to be a rather
large discrepancy, at least judging from news releases as far back as I can remember. To make such a study
meaningful, it should be limited to the political affiliations of those who have held office and those who have run for office
(national, state, county, city). A separate study might be done on clergy members. Any statisticians handy?

9. A few years ago I had a notebook that I wrote down child molesters and porn.

99% republican and it was pages. I really think that they are living their shadow selves.

[blue_jay]

22. Any pattern beyond political party to the Dem ones that might give a clue to potential causation of those tendencies? nt

12. Florida Congressman Mark Foley made repeated "passes" at multiple Congressional pages over the years.

Republican Speaker at the time, Dennis Hastert, himself a convicted child molester, acknowledged that he was aware of the allegations but chose not to pursue them.

14. Hard to forget those two pieces of shit.

13. Lots of victims. Victims.

15. Hmmm, I detect a pattern here.

I've wondered over the years if anyone was keeping track of them as they go by. Seems every week, another Repuke pedo rapist.

[joanbarnes]

16. Have MAGA relatives who still accuse Dems of pedophilia.

18. Wow! That's quite a list!

19. Grand Old Perverts

20. Thanks for putting this list together

A list that gets longer each year.

Now that Republicans are trying to achieve complete power this problem will get worse. The pedos will be betting that they can now get away with it consistently.

I live in Texas where the evangelical super churches are everywhere and the head pastors and especially the youth pastors are constantly getting popped for all manner of sexual crimes. Look up Gateway church for a very high profile recent one. That pastor was finally pushed out decades after seducing a 12 year old girl. Lost his church, but no criminal charges because the statute of limitations had long since passed.

All Republicans.

Again, thanks.

[3catwoman3]

21. As has been noted in many other threads on this topic, this is NOT having sex.

This is sexual abuse/rape/molestation, and should be called out as such.

There are some pitifully light sentences in this list.

27. Matt Gaetz

Has anyone considered that Matt Gaetz (who had his misbehavior covered up by Moses Mike) was too much. When you consider the corruption, criminality and coverupssurrounding Trump, it seems incredible that Matt Gaetz was even worse!
