  1. Well, he tried to live out n get away with the ideology. Probably didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing since the sexualization of children is alive and NOT WELL in America. There needs to be a dose of common sense n a stop to a lot of what's wrong, that is put forth as right.

  2. Sure he's a perv, but so is his creepy Uncle Joe – Prof. of Creeptology at Just Biden My Time University – White House Extension.

  3. I’m a bit skeptical. He’s a public official and they could be planted. Maybe it’s because I just don’t understand how anyone could be into that stuff. Doesn’t make sense

  4. Maybe I missed it. The report neglected to mention if he was a democrat or republican.
    I’m guessing democrat.

  5. Another democrat nut job..

  6. If he distributed, where are all the other arrests?

  7. Buttigieg mentored him. Wonder what he knows about this perverted proclivities. So sad Democrats try to excuse this

  8. American Taxpayer your president, the administration and its agencies are against you. Do Not Forget It!

  9. i once heard from a prison guard, most of criminals were sexually abused as a child.. that's why they hate pedophiles so much

  10. Give him prison for life and then God and Jesus is going to take care of him

  11. I would like to hear the accused's side of the story. In person and not just a written statement thank you very much!

  12. Throw that demon into jail forever.

  13. Of course he likes Pete booty hunter

  14. Democrat mayor….. If he was GOP, you'd have Republican in the headline and description. You lack ethics and integrity.

  15. White and old does not surprise me
