Orrin hatch: rape if ok if you havent raped in a long time

thats pretty much the gist of what he said. when asked what if teh allegations against kavenaugh were proven true he said
``If that were true, I think it would be hard for senators not to consider who he is today,’’

and that in a nutshell is todays GOP

If you want to be a SCOTUS justice, you get one rape mulligan!

Someone was raped??

You all are acting way out of character.

Just kidding. This is exactly what everyone knows and expects from liberals.

I’ve got to believe he regretted saying that just as soon as it came out of his mouth. What a dumb thing to say.

You believe every out of context quote someone tweets or what?

Apparently someone was “raped” and they just ran with it, not checking a single fact.

It must be ____day.

Please explain how this was taken out of context?

How convenient she doesn’t remember the date or location of the party this allegedly occurred, which conveniently makes it unlikely he could show he was somewhere else at the time.

Lol, it was a sentence, in a tweet, please explain how it could be any more out of context.

It seems to me that there was sufficient context in Hatch’s statement. How does that escape you?

You seem to think that there wasn’t and I wanted to know why you thought that. Couldn’t you just answer my question?

Another thread?

Well let’s start with whether a tweet is a reliable source for accurate quotes or not.

We don’t hold politicians accountable for their actions prior to becoming a politician. Likewise, we shouldn’t hold a judge accountable for his actions before obtaining his judgeship.

Um it’s the Senate correspondent for Bloomberg News.

I assume the quote is accurate given the source. If so, then the context is sufficient.

Doesn’t seem clear to me that the "that

No, it’s not clear that the word “that” in the statement was in reference to rape.

This article seems to say this is what preceded the remark.

from Sen. Hatch says Christine Blasey Ford is ‘mistaken’ in accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of assault

“I think she’s mistaken,” Hatch told CNN about Christine Blasey Ford, who has come forward to say Kavanaugh pinned her down and assaulted her nearly four decades ago. “I think she’s mistaking something, but I don’t know, I mean, I don’t know her."

If it was in response to a specific question, what was the question? I mean I won’t rule out he said something that stupid and horrible, but I need to see the actual context in which it was made to believe it.

“were proven”? Is there DNA? Is there a film? What proof?

Sounds like Democrat logic to me.

It is called a hypothetical question. Good lord did they not teach you common English communication techniques back in middle school during the civil war.
