Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

Child molestation is basically the worst possible crime, in the eyes of the vast, vast majority of the population, I'd argue above murder.

And I'm pretty sure that majority is a larger majority than that of any political candidate of at least the past century.

Have you really dehumanized Trump supporters to the degree that you're surprised one would care about this? In case you haven't realized, those who are sticking by him aren't doing so because they're cool with Trump having diddled kids, they are people who have chosen to believe, wisely or not, that he hasn't done that.

This is a hard, hard line. A very successful TV show ran in the US whose entire premise was catching people attempting to commit this one specific crime. Good luck finding a Trump supporter who would genuinely answer the hypothetical "if it was definitively proven that Donald Trump is a child molester, would you still support him" with a "yes".

You guys need to really take a step back here and self-assess how you're perceiving other human beings once in a while, this is getting truly absurd.
