The news clip tries to paint the situation as a "secret relationship", which multiple commenters immediately debunked and factually stated as statutory rape.

TW: Mentions of pedophilia, hebephilia, ephebophilia, rape, and sexual abuse.

It will forever frustrate and anger me that an entire political party in a country with an archaic two-party system is absolutely loaded with pedophiles, hebephiles, ephebophiles, rapist, sexual predators, hatemongers, and closeted gay, lesbian, and queer individuals who have been indoctrinated by "Christianity" to hate themselves so much they weaponize that hate to harm others.

I'm not even shocked anymore when these creatures are outed for the horrible things they've done or are still doing. This is so normalized in the Republican party, and politics in general, that I'm not as shocked about them anymore as much as I'm shocked about how they keep getting re-elected and how many of y'all - who always stand up as the morality police whenver these horrible people pop up in the news cycle - will defend these creatures when the truth inevitably comes out about who they are.

That part says a lot about how some of y'all are fine with the things these people do as long as you possibly receive a benefit from them being in office.

Just so you know, supporting creatures so you can maintain comfort and privilege? That's also some creature-level behavior.

I mean, you probably don't care, but I wanted to make sure your moral compass got the news so you could navigate through that.
