Maybe if one particular gubernatorial candidate had learned about consent, he wouldn’t have harmed and traumatized eight young women.
It seems it wouldn’t be an election year without former President Trump stumping for an accused, serial sexual predator.
At a rally on Sunday, Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster declared, “We’re going to take sex education out of the schools and put it back in the homes where it belongs!”
This isn’t a particularly remarkable take for any Republican politician hellbent on attacking bodily autonomy. But it’s certainly something to hear this sentiment from a man accused of groping eight different women—including one Nebraska state senator. All of the women in question were notably teenagers or in their early 20s when Herbster allegedly assaulted them.
Unsurprisingly, Trump took to the stage to call Herbster “a good man, a very good man,” adding that the allegations against him were “despicable.”
