Megyn Kelly throws out the "She looked 18" defense

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

How the "eff" far are we going to fall? This is frickin insane!

Please note: I believe that Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter!

If you're a 50 year old man, who is NOT a gazzilionaire, try the "but she looked 18" defense.

Apparently, only Matt Gaetz is able to do that.

Excuse me, I feel the need to go take a shower with bleach and a Holy Stone.

- Holy Stone is an fairly old Navy "torture" device that we used to scrub teakwood decks.

...but would look legal to a passerby."?????

Does this make sense to anyone? It sounds as though she saying these girls looked younger AND older at the same time. She seems to be twisting herself into knots trying to downplay this shit.

was that it doesn’t matter whether you KNEW the person was underage, it only mattered that the person WAS underage. Megan Kelly claimed to be a lawyer yet she doesn’t know the law or she does know the law and is just a lying POS.

8. So gratifying, seeing their desperation drive them into such perversity.

I hope Megyn Kelly wears those filthy statements around her neck for the rest of her miserable life.

One way or another, trump destroys everything in which he's involved. His followers just never seem to learn until it's too late. Serves them right.

Age is relative?

Republicans called 22 y/o Monica a child.

Matt Gaetz called his 17 y//o border crossing girl a young woman.

Trump Spiritual Adviser Violated A "Young Lady" - she was 12,

12. I assume that's the whole point. Why would they want to fuck a child that doesn't look like a child?
