These “won’t someone PLEEEASE think of the children?!” pols always have skeletons in their closet and they are ALWAYS Republican. It’s long past time for the left/Democrats to point that out, directly and often.

Seriously, fuck this guy and fuck the people who voted for him. Even the ones I know and/or am related to.
