... "Gag me with a forklift". Your comparison is worse than offensive to people who have actually been "slut-shamed", or asked just how they got raped.

If you want to argue your candidate is being victimized, you can do it without sexualizing such victimization.

To argue it in this manner trivializes sexual assault for clicks.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
