Rep. Dan Johnson’s suicide comes a day after he held a press conference at his church, where he denied accusations that he molested a 17-year-old girl.
According to the Republican senator, alleged child molestation is A-okay so long as a sufficient number of years pass before you’re caught.
It’s just the latest evidence that supporters of Donald Trump, Roy Moore and other high-profile Republicans will allow their candidates to get away with anything.
The Republican response to accusations made of both men is telling of a Republican Party that is quick to overlook, forgive and minimize the gravity of the accusations when it benefits them politically.
