They put him on the air nonstop to talk about how immoral Trump was. Turns out he made unwelcome sexual advances on at least 20 boys, including one that was 14 at the time. Isn't the investigative press supposed to investigate?

How was he constantly on TV and writing op eds in newspapers and no one ever figured anything out? People watching CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, etc also wouldn't hear about it. Even after the NYT puts an article out the only question was on Morning Joe where the guy lies through his teeth and gets no follow ups.

Do you think if he was the co-founder of a pro Trump group it would get attention? Are Democrats/mainstream media ok with pedophiles? It's hard to keep up with their changing moral outrage. They didn't seem to care about Corey Felman's claims about the problem in Hollywood, allegations against Bryan Singer, Kevin Spacey, etc.

They even gave Roman Planski an Oscar and standing ovation after he was convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl.

So do liberals think that this kind of behavior is perfectly normal and moral and not really news worthy? I don't get my morality from people like Weinstein and Kevin Spacey and following what's pushed on movies and TV shows, but for liberals who do is that a problem? Or is orange man still the most immoral person on the planet and much worse than anything going on in Hollywood?

Never heard of him. Sounds like people didn't know what he was up to when they had him on their shows. Seems like a nothing burger thread.

He's a bad moral authority, which is why he is not a moral authority for Liberals. Just like he's not a moral authority for Conservatives, as he served them for a long time as well.

No.

Hollywood can be dumb. They even gave Trump, who possibly did the same, a TV show.

No. I saw this story on NYT and WAPO.

You're surprised that the most disliked POTUS in history who got impeached twice is gets more coverage than someone no one has ever heard of.

Never heard of him nor is he a democrat or liberal, therefore it doesn't sound like he's their problem. Maybe the GOP should shore up their own members before trying this failing tactics of deflection.

Yes, this Republican is a moral authority for liberals.

Did you think this through before creating this thread? Did you think that a pedophile, regardless of political affiliation, being critical of Trump's moral failings would reflect well on Trump?

Lincoln Project is a conservative group that doesn't like Trump because *gasp* he isn't conservative or Republican.

What does this have to do with liberals?

They don't have much to go on with their party in shambles. The TC likes to spin random stuff onto liberals. See his Gamestop stock thread.

Partisan Tribalism.

Don't know. What I know is that many liberals dislike him for being too right leaning. But TC worships a president who is on record making sexual advances to his daughter Ivanka, so maybe this is a praise thread?

Better luck next time with your trolling.
