It looks like there was no rape and the sexual encounter was consensual.

The woman was recorded saying: “Don’t come on my shirt. Come in my mouth.”

There you have it! The ethics of the Republican establishment in Florida!

Once again, we have a man who's guilty until proven innocent. Then, having done that, the woman never pays for her false accusations.

Never fails - republicons turn on their own faster than a speeding bullet. No arrest, no conviction but the State Party Chair gets voted off the island...
