Both victims are underage and therefore unable to provide consent. And you are an awful person for using that distinction to explain away the rape of underage girls. You wouldn't do that for Bill Clinton. 2852781707 0

So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape. Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.
