FL-18: Chairwoman Bustos Comment on Congressman Mast's "Jokes" About Rape

[RandySF]

Tonight, the South Florida Sun Sentinel uncovered old Facebook posts that show Congressman Brian Mast and his Campaign Manager Rocco LeDonni “joking” about rape and having sex with 15-year-old girls.

In the now deleted comments, Mast commented on a picture: “im so proud of you…i hope you hook up with at least fifteen 15 year olds over there…its legel there right.”

Mast also responded to a comment by LeDonni about picking up women saying: “How about don’t turn this rape into a murder.”

Statement from DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos:

“Congressman Mast’s flippant and cavalier attitude towards rape and sexual violence has no place in the halls of Congress. No excuse or apology can erase his words. Minority Leader McCarthy must condemn Congressman Mast’s behavior that actively encourages rape and sexual violence, and NRCC Chairman Emmer must remove Congressman Mast from the NRCC’s Patriot Program.”
