In 2016, Steven van de Velde pleaded guilty to three counts of raping a 12-year British schoolgirl. On Sunday, the registered sex offender was knocked out of the Paris Olympics.

    I also saw those statements on his wiki. Also saw some about it being “the worst mistake of his life”. I don’t imagine he would get parole without showing remorse.

      You don’t imagine? Well then that proves it. He’s very sorry he raped a 12-year-old girl over and over even though he’s never said so in public.

          The “conservative mindset” that someone who raped a 12-year-old over and over should, at the very least, make a public apology before being allowed to join their Olympic team?

          You’re right, that’s a total MAGA position. Trump 2024!

              Absolutely. We all know what big fans of public apologies MAGA people are.

              And, of course, suggesting someone who raped a 12-year-old girl multiple times should make a public apology before being allowed on an Olympic volleyball team definitely means I don’t believe in governments.

              It’s amazing how you’ve gotten me totally right so far.

                  Again, you totally have me pegged. There is nothing more right wing than expecting a child rapist to apologize for repeatedly raping a child before being allowed on an Olympic team. That’s basically Hitler-level evil.

                  And that’s why I will definitely be voting for unrepentant rapist and known friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump.

                  And also why I definitely hate government.

                  Trump 2024! Anarchy forever!
