    People generalize this topic too much.

    If Pete Hegseth posted his sex tape it’d be wildly unprofessional, but ultimately who cares (and why should they?)

    If Pete hegseth posted the sex tape of an unwilling participant that he surprise donkeypunched while she was underage in exchange for money to get her tonsils out, that’s a bit of a different thing.

    America has taught too many people to cower at “what the LORD might think” and accept the word of their leaders as though it was handed down as such.

    So when they hear “SEX” they shut down and they go “only the DEVIL would make such accusations at the brave men who deliver our LORDS message to us!”

    It’s literally brainwashing.

      Infidelity does demonstrate a lack of morals that imo should matter to the electorate. If someone is single or in an open relationship, sure. Otherwise, if someone is willing to betray their spouse, how can we expect them to respect us, a bunch of strangers?
