Kellyanne: Weiner's one sexting victim was 15 years old and his son in another picture was 4.
Guilty plea may result in him registering as sex offender

JOY: Hi. What are your thoughts on a grown man walking in on naked teenagers competing in a pageant he owns and bragging about it on the radio?

(82,849 posts)As soon as Democrats were apprised of Rep. Weiner's habits, they dropped him like a hot rock. He was out of office and out of Democratic politics right away. Republicans know all about President Trump's habits, and not only are they locked in a death embrace with him, they voted to put in him in the highest office in the land.
So, Ms. Conway, spare me your ersatz moral scolding, you hypocrite.
Your reply gets right to the point!

(32,886 posts)That's obviously not exculpatory in terms of the law, but if he didn't know the person he was sexting with was underage, that's a huge difference with what Trump did. Trump absolutely knew he was walking in on naked underage girls.

And, Thank GAWD I'm not Kellyanne!
I do so admire you.

(33,643 posts)What is KAC implying?
Weiner was apparently chasing 15 year old tail ... which is egregious, admittedly ... but we have no reason (I know of) to believe that this 'proclivity' in any way extends to his own 4 y.o. son.
Why the f*** is she even bringing his child up in this context?
I'm sad to even have to make this point, but the % of males on this planet that'd entertain the idea of romancing a 15 year old (esp. if there were no social stigma to doing so) female is MANY orders of magnitude greater than the % of males 'interested' in their own 4 y.o. children 'in that way'.
And the inherent 'sickness' involved between the two scenarios is also pretty damn wildly divergent, IMHO. As in ... there's probably never been a single culture in world history that would have accepted the latter as 'okay', whereas pretty much the entire world did with the former until a couple hundred years ago, and some still accept the idea.
It's pretty disgusting to draw a correlation between the two without offering a shred of evidence. Saying 'she was 15 ... ALSO ... the man has a picture of his 4 year old son!!!' is a non-sequitur, intended to make the situation sound way more evil ... than it actually is.

(28,895 posts)Weiner resigned, Weiner was charged, Weiner goes to court. Weiner pled guilty... Weiner lost everything.
Groper won't resign, Groper not charged, Groper not to Court, Groper will never plead guilty. Groper hasn't lost anything.
In no way am I supporting Weiner. Just comparing.
