From Donald Trump’s deepening entanglement in the Epstein document scandal, to the renewed reporting on allegations involving Rep. Matt Gaetz, to the multiple sex-related scandals rocking MAGA’s political and religious circles, these reports raise some legitimate, unavoidable questions.

Why does it feel like sexual misconduct is not a disqualifier in the MAGA universe? Why is this tolerated, excused, or brushed aside? And why do so many GOP leaders seem more appalled by drag queens and library books than by misconduct allegations within their own ranks?

Some things are wrong beyond party lines. Some things should be universally unacceptable. Yet here we are, looking at a movement that shrugs at predators while claiming to champion “family values.”

Don breaks down the reporting, the patterns, the hypocrisy, and what this says about the state of the modern Republican Party.
