"This is this person's view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls," she continued. "I'm just giving you facts that he wasn't into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby."

"And that is what I believed and that is what I reliably was told for many years."

Kelly admitted that she began to change her opinion after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that Epstein had thousands of videos with child sexual abuse material.

"For the first time, I thought, oh, no, he was an actual pedophile," the conservative host recalled.

Megan "I was fine with him fucking teenagers" Kelly, everyone.

REPUBLICANS LOVE CHILD RAPE

simple as that.

[-] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 5 points 4 weeks ago

Im sorry, is this a conversation about the degree to which he is a pedophile?

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

No, it's that he was a hebephile instead of a pedophile.

There is a distinction between the two, they are both still fucking bad.

Reminds me of all the disgusting turds in the courts who went, "Aw it was just a little rape."

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Apparently for his sycophant followers. Absolutely insane.

[-] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

He's a hebephile not a pedophile isn't much of a defence. So he goes after 11+yo children instead of children less than 11yo? Also most people don't know, or rightly care, about the age distinction - both are child abusers.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah. I've only ever seen the hebebebenebphile argument made by creepy pedophile motherfuckers. Nobody else wants to split hairs to defend this sort of behavior.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Even if he wasn't a pedophile he was still a sex trafficker on a massive scale. He just was doing it to minors

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Oh I agree. Pedophile, hebebebenebebphile, who cares. Pervert. Criminal. Abuser. Rapist. Those fit either category.

[-] KnitWit@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

"There really is, one is annoying and one is hot". -Trump, probably

[-] degen@midwest.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

In his defense, teenagers are annoying as fuck.

...

I'm so sorry

Megan Kelly has a 15 year old daughter, someone should call CPS and look into this poor kid if her mom thinks a grown man grooming her isnt a bad thing

"Raping 12 year olds is OK"

[-] melonhusk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

yeah, i'm sure she also believes it's 'technically not a fall' if you land on your feet... eventually.

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

If, at any point in your life, any part of your stance involves the language “technically not a pedophile,” for any fucking reason, you’re entirely on the wrong side of the situation.

It is so predictable that conservatives would end up in "Pedophilia isn't that bad" once it became undeniable that Great Leader raped little girls.

Yeah, that seems on brand

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

Law enforcement baits out pedos to arrest using fake 16 year olds all day long. They can't spin this.

[-] JustKeepStretching@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

This is one of the wildest most disgusting goal post moves I've ever heard

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 weeks ago

When you start making defenses that involve distinguishing between pedophilia and hebephilia you lost a long time ago.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

It's like distinguishing between burglary and robbery. Maybe it makes a difference in the exact length of their sentence but they're still both serious crimes

Calling child protection services, this ghoul has 3 kids.

[-] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Holy shit they're actually doing the hebophile bit

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

TIL hebophile and ephebophile, two words I didn’t want to know existed.

Ah, so the human trafficking, sex monster that fucked children was not a full "pedophile".... yeah would not want to mislabel the child fucker as a pedophile....

What in the hormone filled milk is this medieval era statement trying to say?

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I would bet good money that she banged a guy in his 30s when she was 15 and she is REALLY invested in maintaining the personal illusion that she wasn't victimized.

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

Honestly, this was my first thought too.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

She must hang out on Reddit, cuz this sounds like a Reddit comment.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
