He denied the 14 year old outright. As to the others, he was asked did you date 16 and 17 year old girls, he said "if I did, I'm not going to dispute anything" He also said he "generally" didn't date girls that young. The second time he was asked he said he didn't remember and the third time Sean asked him (after a break where he was coached according to Lawrence O'Donnell) no, none of it happened, I didn't date girls that young. He's also said "I never dated anyone with her mother's permission. Well, you don't get permission from the mother if you are dating someone your age (32) for gawd sake.
Geraldo said "you ended his career here to night".
So Fox is done with him. They are urging the governor to postpone the election so they can put someone else on the ballot. (I think I heard you can't change the ballot without 72 days notice so the delay is well into next year).

Say he did some bad things in his youth and he repented and gave his life to god to make the world better blah blah.
They would have forgiven him. If it turns out he was lying it will be harder to play that card.
Glad he didn't.
