Republican Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers Pt. 41

This is the 41st installment in the list of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers who contribute to rape culture. These are people who abused their power or defended the abuse of power. These are not folks caught in consensual scandals such as being gay, having an affair, or soliciting adult sex workers, unless they are trafficked against their will. They may be hypocrites, but they are not predators. There is one guy on the list for having sex with a sex worker, but only because he paid with a check and stopped payment.
