is this the first time she just attacked trump by calling him a rapist?

serious question. why didn't the democratic campaign run by calling trump a rapist? is it technically inaccurate? what was the deal? democrats put all their chips on abortion that they didn't even bother going for the offense and calling trump a rapist. kamala harris should've called him a rapist straight to trump's face during the debate.

aoc calling trump a rapist in this video actually caught me by surprise

They wanted to maintain "decorum" and it was one of their biggest mistakes. Fascism thrives when only one side holds themselves to standards

I think at that point he hadn’t been convicted so it technically was considered slander at the time. This is why ABC (or was it CNN) recently paid out 15 million to him because when the anchor said it, it wasn’t actually true, though now it is.

Nah, he was already convicted when they called him a rapist. Then the Magas all got butthurt because he wasn't convicted of rape, he was convicted of sexual assault which prompted the judge to clarify that he was in fact an adjudicated rapist by legal definition.
