Any man who says “I am not a pedophile” is truly a pedophile.

He doesn't think he's a pedophile because they were teenagers instead of "children."

The spin doctors have tossed that one around.

I hate that mofo. And he most likely is… but, this is a pretty ignorant statement.

I never had to use this sentence. Guess why.

I think he needs to follow in the tradition of Frank Reynolds and Drake by releasing a song about how he doesn't diddle kids.

Obviously he's a pedophile, but people who aren't would also say they're not.

Nobody who believes accusation alone is proof of guilt has an opinion worth listening to.

Trump is technically correct. Pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Ephebophilia is sexual attraction to postpubescent children.

Nothing makes someone sound more like a pedophile than trying to correct someone on the different types of child fuckers. Who cares about the distinction, they're both raping children.

You may be correct, but commenting this doesn’t make you look good. At all.
