No facts have been presented that liberals and those on the left commit the most sexual crimes against children. The article linked does not break the numbers down by political beliefs or affiliation (that is just an unwarranted assumption that is being made).

What he posted doesn't prove that.

There is no proof of that.

https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1788605052363382927 HOFFINGER: She asked you about making a whole lot of money by telling lies about DT, are you telling lies about Trump or the truth? DANIELS: Truth DANIELS: I’ve had to move a couple of times, I lost the judgment on my attorney’s fees because case was thrown out HOFFINGER: On balance, has telling the truth about Trump been net positive or net negative for your life? OBJECTION - OVERRULED DANIELS: “Negative”

https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1788604031536963830 DONALD TRUMP TRUTH SOCIAL POST: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” HOFFINGER: Who was Mr. Trump directing this to, at this time. DANIELS: “I wasn’t sure, but I thought it was me.” This was right around the same time that he filed [a lawsuit against me] in Florida. So this seemed to be connected but I’m not sure.” HOFFINGER: [Necheles] asked you about whether you felt responsible for the charges in this case, you didn’t testify before the grand jury did you? HOFFINGER: You had nothing to do with the charges in this case initially, did you? DANIELS: I did not

https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1788598648646894005 Re-Direct of Stormy Daniels now begins.

The cross of Stormy Daniels now resumes after the quick morning recess. https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1788597643893002513 NECHELES: “Am I correct that you signed the non disclosure agreement in this case with legal advice?” DANIELS: Correct NECHELES: And you did not negotiate that NDA DANIELS: Not directly NECHELES: “And your lawyer dealt with Michael Cohen” DANIELS: Yes NECHELES: “And Michael Cohen paid you, not mr trump” DANIELS: “My attorney paid me” NECHELES: You understand Pres Trump is charged with a crime based on how it was labeled? DANIELS: “There are a lot of indictments” (laughter) NECHELES: You changed your story many times because you never had an affair with President Trump OBJECTION-SUSTAINED

https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1788594783243415925 Katie's Sidebar: IMO it was a bad defense strategy to try to "slut-shame" Stormy Daniels today on cross for her professional choices. Directly accusing her of being a liar because she works in the adult film industry was a poor decision. The defense suggests that just because Daniels chooses to be a part of that industry, then she couldn't possibly be offended by a half-naked, "older" man who invited her to dinner, began the evening in satin pajamas, and then stripped his clothes to a t-shirt and boxers when she was in the bathroom.

https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1788592700008063280 NECHELES: “Your story has completely changed, hasn't it.” DANIELS: “No not at all, you’re trying to make me say that it has changed, but it hasn’t changed.” Jury is on a brief morning recess.
