      IDK, fox viewers want pretty much anyone accused of rape lined up before a wall and shot. They might not be too comfortable with the rapist-enabler, Roger Adrian.

        All of those youth pastors and policemen that keep going to jail for sex crimes against children doesn’t seem to put a dent in the Fox News fawning over those demographics.

        Not sure why you think that’s true but I think they’d be more likely to blame the woman for “causing a good Christian man to stumble!”

        You’ve got to be kidding Conservatives love rape. Why else would they elect a rapist president? Or force women to give birth to rape babies? Or blame women for being raped? Or adjudicate rapists?
