His entire defense seems to be: “I did lots of stuff to women, but I never grabbed them by the p\*ssy”. When he was asked if the woman had asked him to stop, at first he said only once, then he seemed to backtrack and said “Hell, I don’t try to keep up with stuff like that”. ---

So there was an “amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act” passed to detail ways to combat and identify Neo-Nazi members and influence in the police and military. It did pass, but [the final vote was predictable, sadly.](https://www.newsweekly.com/gop-vote-nazi-white-supremacists-military-police-1724545) ---

Wonder what happened?_ Curiously, neither is PA’s Scott Perry, who’s worked his way down to being leader of that rat pack of obstructionists.
