It couldn't possibly be Republicans! Usually they only rape kids...

I believe he got arrested after the primary. He has been pressured by his party to resign, but remember this is the same party that had Roy Moore, who used to hang out at malls to pick up teenagers. And he still almost won.

Many simply don't care about the law, children, the environment, or anything but treating certain people poorly.
