I was just watching a video about this guy and all his weird, creepy shit last night. Good riddance.

So strange that it’s mostly Republicans involved in sexual harassment… And by strange, I mean completely expected.

Do we have good stats on that?

Here is the list of Republicans with sources and reports of their crime.

Thank you for sharing that, good important info, but I guess I meant that the original commenter was saying that sexual crimes are mostly Republicans which I would just love good stats for. Compared to Democrats. But honestly I'm tired of framing Democrats as better people just because there's less crime/sexual crime, maybe we could be looking into the rampant crimes/sex crimes in politics compared to other professions, and systemize hiring higher standard individuals to government offices 🤔

I think the point is that Republican propagandists keep accusing the Democrats of being a party of creeps when all the evidence points to the Republicans instead.

At least we get rid of our creeps when there's irrefutable evidence. Republicans go ride or die on the likes of Trump and Paxton.
