If I still had young kids, I wouldn't want any Republican near them.

I wouldn't want any of my relatives around these freaks, and no matter how old my kids get, I definitely don't want them near Republicans.
Epstein's Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
Amazingly the headline is underselling what he was really doing.
Is granddaughter gave him headline?
"Accused" is being used as a euphemism for "caught on camera".
He complained to the restaurant that the ice cream had been drugged, so they checked the camera and saw him doing it.
Immoral and stupid, a truly republican plan.
I'm trying to understand wtf the plan was here
First off, he actually had cocaine and MDMA from somewhere?
Then he put them in ice cream
...then he complained they received the ice cream that way?
Like, wtf would be the point of that? Or did someone else catch him and he just blamed someone else...?
It's a safe guess that the end game was molestation, but something interfered with his plan to interfere with the girls.
Less "euphemism" and more technically correct legal term. It hasn't been proven in a court of law, and he hasn't publicly admitted guilt, even though there is (allegedly) film of him doing it. And to be clear I'm not saying he didn't do it, he very obviously did, but news sites (good ones) have to be specific with their statements.
We really need a better word for "did it, but a court hasn't found them guilty."
Maybe he wanted to manufacturer an excuse for ICE to arrest foreign-born citizens employed there. Hypothetically.
Nah, he was trying to rape his granddaughters (being a Republican- obviously this was what he was all about), they found the pills, and he tried to deflect by blaming it on the service workers.
I hate that both are equally likely.
I guarantee it. That it something equally shitty.
Further details revealed that Yokeley and the young ladies involved went to a Dairy Queen that night, close to the business’s closing time. Willett said the 16-year-old step-granddaughter was driving the vehicle after leaving the ice cream shop.
Not long after, the two girls found blue pressed pills in their ice cream. Willett said due to “concern, fear, and panic,” the step-granddaughter pulled into a nearby Sheetz gas station when she spotted an EMS vehicle and alerted paramedics of the situation on the spot.
So, he put drugs in before one of the kids was going to drive.
Thanks for the link to additional info. Sounds like he was definitely trying to harm them and they were lucky to find the pills and that the granddaughter was driving and saw that paramedics were there to pull over and contact. Who knows what might have happened if he had been driving--he might have gone on to Plan B.
Plan-B is what he would have put in their ice cream the next day after he's done with Cosby night.
This is just a LIBRUL WITCH HUNT! Who CARES if he Put COCAINE in his Granddaughter's Ice Cream? There's STILL Brown People that HAVENT been Arrest yet! PROTECT THE CHILDREN! I'm NOT in a Cult!
COCAINE
If only the academy awards had a category for best punching sound effects
I am shocked. SHOCKED! Well... I guess not that shocked.... At all...
why would he be roofying his granddaughter, I wonder.
If you'd read the article (I know, a lot to ask), you'd see he was doing it to set up employees of the ice cream shop for the fall
My reading skills may have deteriorated, but nowhere did I see that in this article.
Rape
Honestly, forget the party affiliation because his position amounts to a nothing burger.
The fact that this horrible person put cocaine and mdma in their ice cream is fucking insane, if true.
They have video of him doing it. He tried blaming someone else.
Idiot was probably trying to manufacture an incident to further some party narrative...
Probably saw a brown kid behind the Dairy Queen counter.
Or he was trying to fuck his granddaughter.
That was my first thought too but I don't think cocaine and MDMA make sense in that context
Hell, no, Republicans have a pedophilia problem with a P, starting with the fucking big man himself, it comes down from the top, whatthe fuck are you talking about?
I mean it's literally in the nickname the use for themselves. G.rumpy O.ld P.edophiles
I guess this guy’s planning a run for prez.
I thought it said debugging for a moment and was about to say something about the DMCA.
