65. Which allegations are you speaking about?

Wed Jul 8, 2026, 08:45 PM

The Nazi tattoo? He acknowledged it was a Nazi tattoo and covered it with another tattoo.

The sexting on a platform notorious for preying on underage girls? He acknowledged it and his wife made a video talking about them.

Behaving sexually inappropriately with women (plural) he dated on the past? He acknowledged it.

His texts suggesting rape victims are partially at fault for their attacks is and assorted homophobic and racist comments? He acknowledged and apologized for them.

So what allegations are you suggesting will be proved false?
