They said they don't think he actually did them and repeated the "locker room talk" thing. This is so infuriating. Even if it was "locker room talk," then that means he's lying, and about something as heinous as sexual assault, and laughing about it. Why can't people manage to see that? I can't imagine anyone else getting away with even joking about it, let alone claiming to have done it.k8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-24471493502683162662016-11-11T13:31:32.904-07:002016-11-11T13:31:32.904-07:00Is it too early to be looking at midterm elections...Is it too early to be looking at midterm elections?
