Conveniently leaves out when these alleged incidents happened and why his own party didn't have a problem with him running until CBS decided to cover it.
Me no understand why Trump not call this out first, me big brain me know swallows bad guy, good riddance to democrats eating own, me MAGA me smart.
Yeah and where was this concern when he was in Congress for the last six years? Democrats only care when it hurts them politically.
fair point about the timing, though the allegations themselves are pretty recent
Recent like the allegations that got dropped by a judge last year, or recent like the ones Democrats suddenly remembered existed right before filing deadline?
Which judge dropped what, and got dropped on what grounds - dismissal or settlement?
This needs to go to law enforcement, not just a press release from House Democrats. If the allegations are credible she deserves actual justice, not just him dropping out of a race.
if he did this stuff they should've said something way earlier, not wait til he's running for governor
So we're finally cleaning house, or just cleaning house before the general election?
Funny how this allegation suddenly matters now that he's a threat to the party's gubernatorial ambitions, but was fine and dandy when he was just another backbencher voting how he was told.

If this was serious enough for his own party to call him out, why'd it take until now to go public about it? Doesn't add up.
