First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.
Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.
And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

Discussion around the death penalty. My standard question. Usually I don't get any response. This one is another level. And very telling.

The notoriously litigious Donald Trump has been involved in over 4,000 lawsuits. The touchy litigant has even sued a network for editing an interview of someone else. But he has NEVER sued over allegations that his was a pedophile connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Hmm.

What Epstein email revelation from today stands out the most to you?
For me, it’s that Donald was staring at the young girls in the pool so much he walked right into a glass door.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.
