If this quote is accurate, #MegynKelly is absolutely crazy. If you're trolling for underage girls, you're a pedophile. A child is a child. A 15 yo is a CHILD, not a woman.
I despise the culture that strips children of their childhood, looking to lower the bar into adulthood. It's reprehensible.

Our job as parents is to protect our children. Does this guy have kids? I'll bet good money that if his 13 yo was having sex, his head would explode & he'd be gunning for their partner if they were an adult.

What is your family's phone number? Cual es el numero de telefono de tu familia?
Be sure to call the number and let the family know what happened.

I'm trying to understand why #ChrisMatthews is even brought onto #MSNBC anymore.
Today Chris, who is from Philadelphia, declared that only poor people live near train tracks. Rich people don't live near a train whistle. I guess he forgot about the Philadelphia Main Line.
He's promoting his book.

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.

He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.
