It does not help to try and make excuses for your pal. Because what he said was not about a senator. It was about the state of MO and the Republicans who live there. He was flat out wrong but you go ahead and make excuses for him just like you do for your old pervert in the White House.
I went commenting on whether he was stereotyping and lumping. I said he was talking about Mike Moon.
Because that’s who he was talking about.
And it’s not like Moon has been the first conservative to suggest that maybe we should think about younger kids marrying….ahem ahem Grandma Lauren Boebert…ahem ahem “ Adolescence is a state-of-the-art modern innovation, like crack-cocaine or chemical warfare” Matt Walsh.
So yeah he was generalizing…but there’s evidence that generalization might not be far off.
If you want your kids to be groomed, send them to Kansas.
If 12 year olds getting married isn’t grooming, I’d like to know what is.
EDIT: Just in case anyone was wondering. It’s not statutory rape in Missouri if you’re married.
566.023. Marriage to victim, at time of offense, affirmative defense, for certain offenses. — It shall be an affirmative defense to prosecutions under sections 566.032, 566.034, 566.062, 566.064, and 566.071, that the defendant was married to the victim at the time of the offense.
If you’re OK with 12 year olds getting married there’s nothing to discuss. There’s nothing I can say which would impact that belief. Absolutely disgusting. It’s something I’d expect from the Taliban or a backwards third world country. I’d be just as disgusted hearing it advocated there.
Tilting at windmills about liberal “grooming” while advocating for the marriage of 12 year olds. Add this to the list of why conservatives are oblivious to their current downfall.
Great. Currently some conservatives are advocating for the “grooming” that no longer occurs in those states. Only for kids even younger. Not shocking - the groomers are conservatives.
