Cornell University police in 2024 summarized hours of interviews with a woman who said she was attacked in the Chi Phi fraternity house into a document that excluded her unequivocal statement that she had been raped, documents show. A prosecutor did not pursue criminal charges based on the document.

Every religious preacher, pastor, priest or minister who hears Trump with his cruel mocking of women, of the poor, sick and hungry, then sighs and shakes his head- even tho he *knows* what Trump is - is no Christian. They are exactly what Jesus warned about.  Hypocrites with all sorts of excuses
