Guilty until proven innocent. It destroys reputations even after accusations are proven untrue or dropped.

No it’s due to the Graham rule, he said so.

you were basically saying it was her fault because she went to a party

the only person to blame for rape is the rapist. Always. 100% of the time the rapist is to blame for rape.

hope this clears it up a little for you

your quote:

If you know these things are going on, why go?



Why did she not call the cops?

That does happen on a rare occasion so obviously we have to seriously consider the angle that Pence is gay.

I think this is more to prevent a female from making a false accusation against him, e.g. think of the Kavanaugh controversy.

One of the few things that Mitch has done right in all his years in office.

I don't know why she didn't call the cops, but there are many reasons women don't report rapes.

again, you're victim blaming

She didn't call the cops because she was never raped.

It does matter...and I agree, she did not deserve to be raped......


But why keep putting yourself in that situation?



And BTW.....it was never proven.....there was no victim....

he said it was out of respect for his wife, he didn't want her to worry, and therefore was avoiding situations where she may worry. are you saying he's lying?

He gave a couple reasons during the CNN interview they gave, one of which was to eliminate the change of false accusations because of the current political climate in this country. It's in the CNN video clip that you're scared to watch.

Sometimes you gotta get down in the mud and fight like the dogs you're fighting. I don't like how it was done but the ends justify the means, I'm happy with the results and enjoyed watching the democrats cry about it.

Was I where? Wouldn't the accuser have to know when and where something allegedly took place before I can tell you if I was there or not?
