I have told the story here several times—I worked on a Republican Congressional campaign decades ago that tried to unseat the incumbent Gerry Studds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Studds
We had solid intelligence that he was having sex with male congressional pages but our candidate refused to use it against Studds.
We lost the race—badly.
As you can see from the article it later surfaced that Studds had been assaulting young men for decades—even before he went to Congress.
As to the Walz case—it is too late to make this an issue in this campaign—but I suspect there are a lot of victims of Walz who have every right to seek compensation—and justice.
I think the difference now is that the word is getting out without the Trump campaign broaching it. With the massive growth of citizen journalists, every citizen has the opportunity to hear this almost anywhere on the internet.
Side note though, the guy that’s been running with this is black insurrectionist on X. He was supposed to come out with the balance of his posts on the afternoon of the 15th and then promptly disappeared. A few people have posted that he was suspended from X for 3 days. Not sure if that’s true or not but how pathetic on X’s part if so.
I forgot about Gerry.
So many wackos.
