Conservatives in 1998: The president told a lie, impeach.
Almost every member of Congress in 2026: The president raped children, but it was with a rich friend, and I like money, so it’s really not a big deal. Plus, they were girls, which…c’mon - who’s going to take that seriously?
I can’t find any evidence or quotes of him talking about Trump having raped minors.
Any Trump supporter ever say they believe Trump had sex with minors? Or are you just assuming that every Republican believes Trump raped minors? Because that’s what it seems like, and that defies reality.
It implies nothing - I’m explaining with evidence that politicians don’t say everything they think, and are, in fact, afraid to say anything against Trump publicly because it means they might lose their seats or money.
I am spoon-feeding you this. Denial on your part implies willful ignorance or being the worst wannabe troll on Lemmy.
Really, it’s more like:

Name a single US Congress member that thinks Trump raped kids and is okay with it.

Okay. Let’s just start with Ron Johnson.

Expecting something public is right up there with expecting UFO/alien disclosure.
Given that none of the three articles directly address the request, this implies a retraction.
