Man I bet his son has a lot to say, too.

“Look guys, if my son comes to talk to you I think it should kept out of the news. That's family business."

He messed up the part about killing himself after he found out that his child bride died by suicide.

In Bouchard’s versoin, everything is Juliet’s fault so of course she should pay the price. Romeo is a decent guy who shouldn’t suffer any consequences.

This is the GOP. I’m guessing he would need to traffick Communist immigrants to take hardworking small-town American football jobs...and even then, they’d probably still elect him to stick it to Cheney.

“Quite frankly, is this the worst you’ve got on me?”

Romeo killed himself when he thought Juliet killed herself. This ass did no such think when the young woman in this sad story killed herself at 20.

My son is 14. There’s is no way in the world he’s ready to make the kind of decisions that poor girl was put under. Apologists can go on about agency all they want; that child (yes...child) was 14! That guy is a pedophile despite whatever kind of loopholes Wyoming law may have had at the time.

If it was like Romeo and Juliet, you’d be dead, sporto.

In the play, Juliet is def like 13, but we don’t actually know how old Romeo was supposed to be. We know he’s “young,” but not much else. Shit, he might have been about her own age.

He only watched up to the part where Leonardo crashed the car. Then he fell asleep.

“He told the Star-Tribune that while he didn’t want to hide anything, he also doesn’t want family matters to get dragged into his political campaign.”

Well he sure is fucking right about good people avoiding running for office, since he certainly does not fit the description.

If someone is 18, getting romantically / sexually involved with a 14 year old (child) , that just means that they are too creepy or pervy for anyone their own age to want to be involved with them.

Romeo and juliet...where everybody died?!

Mattie Boy will support anyone that’ll talk to him these days.  I’m thinking poor Matt finds himself sitting alone during lunch hour and not too many colleagues are taking the calls anymore. 

18 yr old guy is definitely a fucking predator on a 14 yr old girl. This GOP GackASS— what a fucking classic rewrite of Romeo/Juliet to fit the horseshit he’s selling.  FUCK I hate people ... especially these GOP people. 

Of course right wing nutjobs won’t call him on it...because he is one of them. We already found out how little they care about crimes against women especially when we had to live through...most of us...four years of a kind of distortion of hell...whereas actual hell may have been preferable... 

You know what you should never do? Compare your “relationship” with a child to Elizabethan standards of intimacy and consent (or lack thereof). “She hath not seen the change of fourteen years” ergo Juliet was roughly the same age as the girl Congressman Dipshit impregnated, and Romeo was likely...older.

the liberal fake news is coming out with a hit piece about my teenage years. This is why good people avoid running for office. I won’t back down, Swamp!
