Sex crimes are incredibly traumatizing for victims. Because of that, a lot of times those crimes don’t come to light until years down the road, once the victim has conquered that trauma enough to come forward. Even in the cases where a victim comes forward immediately, their cases rarely go anywhere because police departments infamously don’t do their due diligence when it comes to these reports and processing evidence.
Because sex crimes are so traumatizing, they’re one of the most heinous crimes a person can commit. I don’t want a politician who’s capable of committing heinous crimes. I don’t want a politician that tries to excuse, cover up, or wrongfully deny having committed heinous crimes. I understand no politicians are perfect. But there’s a ton of wiggle room between “not perfect” and “does heinous crimes”. It’s not a lot to ask for politicians to fall somewhere in the middle of that range.

Ok. Thats fair. Someone else described it to me as “he is failing the job interview” and I mean sure. I dont want to really have someone who is a POS as a representative. But I also want to make sure we still can ask questions instead of having to jump to beliefs. I also think that what they do after this is important since I agree that the idea of a repeat offender leaves less room for careless mistake and more a trend.
