    The article mentions the dudes 2nd wife. Christians & conservatives should drop his ass.
    Divorce is a left wing policy and shouldn’t be endorsed by anyone with Christian values. Most conservatives would likely object… Unless it’s THEIR divorce, of course. Cause only THEIR divorce valid.

    As for the actual article & accusations, there is a rape claim which was defended as consentual and settled privately.
    Both the rape claim and the fact it was defended/settled are unfortunate.

    And a mixed copies of emails from the mother of ‘he is a great son, and a hero’ and ‘lies, cheats and disrespects women’ (single quotes, cause it’s not an actual quote but a gist).

    Seems like a swamp of non-conservative-values non-christian-values “alpha male” type scumbag.
    My feeling is the mother is right. Moms know.

    Get used to it. 4 years if this.
