Monday

Constituents for mistakes he made. He said it was time he owned up to them.
He than went on to say he would fight the most serious allegation. Sounds to me he admitted to affairs just not to the one allegation that was non consensual.
So I guess serial adultery and dic pics are ok with you. In his mind drunk sex is consensual. Boys will be boys
