He didn't immediately acknowledge his actions, it took a major local news story to force him to acknowledge them

The part where that's a meaningful standard to hold someone to? He didn't try to straight up lie to get out of it -- a lie that would be impossible to sustain if the incidents took place online and the victims have receipts Big fucking whoop

The very fact that you felt free to make some shit up here instead of filling in the actual details -- "I blackmailed nudes from a girl and almost drove another girl to suicide" -- is extremely fucking telling

I don't know how to explain it to you if you don't get it that this shit is incredibly fucking serious Mike Huckabee's son David, who'd been groomed to be his political heir, vanished from public life when it came out he killed a dog at a Boy Scout camp

Mob? It’s not a Goddamn mob, he’s running for office! No one sought him out, he entered the public stage and is asking to be granted a great responsibility. The severity of his actions at least up to age 14 reasonably lead to questions whether 5 years is enough...

I'd be happy to never think about this guy or speak his name again once he stops running for fucking office What you don't seem to get is he's *lucky* to get off living a quiet life washing dishes and not having to think about the lives he ruined as a teenager

That, *in and of itself*, is a blessing many people don't get to have, including the people he traumatized But you've flipped it around and you think that he actually deserves a life of fame and fortune and ripping it away from him is a cruel punishment

My God fuck that shit You want to reward someone with fame and fortune and political power find someone who grew up poor who didn't try to blackmail someone for nudes You've got a lot more candidates for that than you seem to think

Alternatively, instead of investing your time in defending him you could accept that he doesn't deserve the job and focus instead on dismantling financial barriers to political entry.
