He hit on dudes over 18

The legal term for a male 18+ is “man” in the news

Doesn’t make it right, but these accusations do not show that he is a pedo

He hit on dudes over 18

eh, a little smoke but not necessarily fire

The Daily Beast's editor apparently had the story before the election but covered it up leaving an independent conservative journalist to break it. Another one of those "everyone knew about it" situations where so long as you remain in the good graces of neoliberalism -- the legacy media will protect you.
