Same ole, same ole...


"The Nebraska Examiner on Thursday reported allegations from eight women who said Herbster, a Republican megadonor and CEO of Conklin Co. and other businesses, touched them inappropriately. The women were between their late teens and mid-20s at the time, according to the Examiner, and all the incidents occurred between 2017 and this year."

Lovely. Definite pattern.

But when your party is led by a guy who grabs em by the *****, do you think any voter will care?

Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster and his campaign called accusations against him of sexual assault "libelous" and "100% false" in a statement Thursday afternoon, and accused political rivals Jim Pillen and Pete Ricketts of political dirty tricks.

I have to say I am not a fan of the Herbster but I wouldn't put it past Ricketts either.

Just saw on the local news report the woman who made the accusation invited Herbster to her wedding after the supposed misconduct - and claimed she had no idea until he RSVPd. Whatever, sorry but a he said / she said at this time and you can't always rush to believe someone.

Does anyone in conservative-purity world care that the primary frontrunner for Nebraska governor is apparently a serial sexual assaulter? Spoiler Alert: Not a single one.

If anything, it makes them like him more. Anyone who identifies as a Republican in this day-in-age is a monster.
