Florida Rep dismisses Trump assault allegations: ‘He who has not sinned cast the first stone’

[Rocknrule]

Source: Raw Story

Florida Congressman Ted Yoho seems to think these that all of these sexual assault allegations against his party’s nominee, Donald Trump are nothing more than a sideshow and we should be talking about real issues..

In a Friday interview with Wolf Blitzer, Yoho was outright dismissive of Trump’s accusers. Blitzer played the footage of Kristin Anderson telling her Trump story.

“This is the vivid part for me,” she said in the interview. “So the person on my right, who unbeknownst to me at that time, was Donald Trump, put their hand up my skirt. He did touch my vagina through my underwear. Absolutely. And as I pushed the hand away, and I got up, and I turned around, and I see these eyebrows, very distinct eyebrows of Donald Trump. And I got up and I moved and I continued to talk with my friends.”

Blitzer asked Yoho, “do you believe her?”

38. Best stone-throwing comeback:

I happened to witness this snippet live; Jake Tapper and Rudy Giuliani on State of the Union:

Giuliani said that he who hasn’t sinned should cast the first stone, which is when Tapper said this:

I will gladly tell you, Mr. Mayor: I have never said that. I have never done that. I’m happy to throw a stone. I don’t know any man — I have been in locker rooms, I’ve been a member of a fraternity; I have never heard any man ever brag about being able to maul women because they get away with it. Never.

When Giuliani said, “Men talk like that,” Tapper shot back instantly, “You’ve talked like that?”

2. Oh, they've got no problems casting stones.

As long as they're only directed at the Clintons.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

17. Exactly.

[Cha]

3. There's too many decent beings who don't sexually

assault women or men.

So trump doesn't stand a chance.

yoho=fucking tool

[awoke_in_2003]

33. I hope you're right, Cha

I have been pissed at his defenders since the Mexicans=rapists thing. It just keeps building and building. I am at the point where, if a co-worker brings up anything related to tRump, I leave the room. The defenders disgust me so much now that I want to punch them. And it is going to get even worse, I'm sure.

[Cha]

41. I feel the same.. I was stuck on the bus

yesterday surrounded by some brainwashed trumps.. it was sickening. They were spewing all the lies pushed by the idiot himself.

Couldn't wait to get out in the fresh air!

awoke!

[awoke_in_2003]

42. Hey back

My weekend is 3.5 hours away.

[Cha]

43. Have fun

You're working late!

[awoke_in_2003]

44. Yeah, I work second shift

(1500 to 2300) Tues-Sat. We get 10% shift differential, and I don't have to deal with management for very long.

[underpants]

4. You know this could have been a Florida Man... headline

I'm just saying.

[gademocrat7]

5. Is yoho up for reelection?

If so, I hope he is kicked to the curb.

[sarge43]

11. Representives are elected every two years.

Depends upon his district. Likely it's populated with mouth breathers just like him.

[RAFisher]

19. He also represents Gainesville and the University of Florida.

When I was still living there everyone in Gainesville hated that asshole. He was advocating spending less on Public Universities while representing the University of Florida. Ridiculous. The only good news is that thanks to 2016 redistricting he's district is not as red as it was before. It went from R+12 to R+9 but still likely to win reelection. Gainesville/Alachua Country is an oasis of blue surrounded by a sea of red.

[sarge43]

31. Well, we can but hope and FL Dems continue to GOTV. n/t

[Blue Idaho]

6. "Do You Believe Her?"

That is the $64,000 question that every republican stooge should be forced to answer before any of them say one other word about the great and powerful Trump. Ask them that question. Their answer will reveal who they are as a person.

If you had a chance to see Dr. Ben Carson squirm on Morning Joe - then you know exactly how revealing his "answer" really was.

7. Yoho = Bircher.

" Interestingly, Agenda 21 activist Victoria Baer is a big supporter of Florida Tea Partier Ted Yoho, a man who unseat Republican Representative Cliff Stearns in a major upset during a primary race yesterday. Along with supporting the Agenda 21 conspiracy, Yoho also believes we should abolish the Department of Energy — the agency tasked with protecting our nuclear waste and nuclear weapons arsenal.

This is where the mainstream Republican party is headed.

So what are the origins of this bizarre shift in policy? And why have Agenda 21 activists gained such prominence within mainstream politics?

To explore the issue, I spoke with Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Potok has been tracking the rise of the Agenda 21 movement, which is rooted in the John Birch Society — a radical right-wing group that opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because they said it infringed on states’ rights. But Potok says that the issue is much broader than one single conspiracy and one single group.

Stephen Lacey: Many folks within the Agenda 21 movement have come from or are loosely aligned with the John Birch Society. So give us some background, what is the John Birch Society, how did it get formed, and what does it represent today?

Mark Potok: Well, it’s no surprise that it’s the John Birch Society that seems to be the primary pusher of the Agenda 21 conspiracy theory. I say that because they are most infamous, really, for two things. "

27. Rockin'! Thanks, LL, nt.

[bulloney]

8. And I'll bet this Rep. Yahoo has been equally judicious in passing judgment on Hillary.

Teabaggers always have to pull Biblical lines out of their asses whenever they or their party is called out on their hypocrisy.

[Enrique]

9. nothing beats da Bible!

[trusty elf]

12. absolutely breathtaking

the narcissism, the pandering!



"The Art of the Deal" is his second most favorite book of all time?!?!?! and the fookin bible his favorite book of all time?


[img][/img]

[awoke_in_2003]

35. OMG

That is funny as hell.

[niyad]

32. pandering little predator, is he not? "nothing beats the bible"-- except beating with the bible??

beating off to the bible? sorry, that was where my mind went immediately.

[3catwoman3]

34. It is about as likely that...

...Trump has read the Bible as it is that our cats have.

[Zoonart]

10. JUST WOW!

This is not about forgiving a fellow church parishioner. This is about electing the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD.

If you're a Christian... it is okay to forgive the man his transgressions... but you have a duty as an American Congressman to understand that he is not fit to govern. These are two separate judgments.

So okay..."go and sin no more"... but go nowhere near the Oval Office. Yoho is either incapable or unwilling to hold two thoughts in his mind at the same time, or is willing to hide behind his "Christianity" to mask the corruption of his own soul.
Jesus wept.

13. This guy would be the first to cast stones if it were Obama who was accused

of stuff that Trump has done.

[Island Deac]

14. This guy is used to BS....

He was a Veterinarian. He often stuck his arm up an animal's ass. He's just doing it again, but this time it is his head.

a combination of redistricting due to state GOP infighting and a strong Democratic recruit may make FL-03 the top sleeper House race of the year.

18. Unfortunately, we sensible people had to give up hope of discussing "real issues" when . . .

the Republicans nominated a flatulent clown as their candidate.

Hillary Clinton has policy positions and considered discussions throughout her web page and her speeches. Trump tweets idiocies. There can be no discussion with a tweeter. By definition, the form is too restrictive for substantive reflection. And how do can intelligent, considered people respond to "nyah nyahs," insults, and crude innuendo?

Fortunately, this election is all over but for the counting. Maybe next term there'll be a worthy opponent and we can have a considered discussion of issues. This time through it was a waste of energy.

[HockeyMom]

21. "I lusted in my heart" Jimmy Carter

I cannot believe how far we have gone from that. When he said that, all I could think of was So What? That is between him and his God, not even his wife if he never acted upon it. Forget the rest of the country.

Jimmy Carter is a good man, husband, and father. Donald Trump is his exact opposite. Major difference.

[The Tingler]

23. "Unless you are a Democrat, liberal or your last name is Clinton..."

in which case you can throw all the boulders you want."

PURE HYPOCRISY from a fake Christian.

24. Yahoo Yoho

[YOHABLO]

25. I don't have children, however wouldn't good parenting skills be to keep them away from all this?

Not that kids are that excited about political campaigns, but they probably do hear from their parents and the tv what is going on. Maybe it's better to explain but good luck on that.

[keithbvadu2]

26. How many times did he say that when repubs talked about Bill Clinton? I lost count near zero.

[christx30]

28. I love how this guy just assumes that every man has

committed some kind of sexual assault against women. "Why today, I felt up 3 ladies on the bus. I didn't ask, I just did it. Women appreciate the straightforwardness, especially if it's a stranger. It's a star move."
Someone that thinks that that shouldn't even be in charge of an ice cream machine, let alone a state rep.

[Lucky Luciano]

29. This yoyo basically admitting to sexual assault?! nt

[duncang]

40. Seemed like he was agreeing dipshit did and he couldn't cast stones his self.

So yep, sounds like he was admitting to be a serial sexual attacker.

[Paladin]

30. Yoho has two daughters.

I wonder how they feel about daddy's easy-on-abusers stance?

[SunSeeker]

36. They've probably created an alternate reality for themselves like Ivanka did. nt

[Paladin]

37. I wouldn't blame them for doing so. (nt)

[Helen Borg]

39. But when Bill Clinton sinned it was a different story, no?
