I really don't understand how your head is burrowed so far up this teenager's ass that you would still take his testimony over anyone else's on anything at this point But it doesn't matter anyway We're talking about whether he should be elected to office

Maybe the only reason he did all that fucked up shit in middle school is that his elementary school teacher really did horrifically abuse him Maybe it's deeply unjust that he's abusive because of damage others inflicted on him But that doesn't change whether he's abusive

Maybe the reason he flipped out and attacked his ex is she did something really fucked up to him on another occasion and it damaged him so badly he can't control his rage That story is... eyebrow-raising, but whatever Even if it were true, that still makes him untrustworthy

If you genuinely want him to get help and recover from all this internal damage that apparently he bears no moral culpability for then FINE He can do that while far away from the public eye and from having power over others He NEEDS TO do it while away from publicity and power

You keep trying to turn this into a "moral" argument and that's missing the point The important thing is not whose fault it is you do bad things and hurt people, and whether we should condemn and judge you for it, and so on It's how we keep those things from happening again

And honestly asking that you not hold a fucking elected office where you'd represent and exercise direct power over the people you harmed is a very small ask Jesus Christ No one was even gonna go public until he won the fucking primary
