An Arizona Republican state senator running in an upcoming special House election on Friday signaled support for an investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump.

State Sen. Debbie Lesko made the comments during a debate with her Democratic opponent, physician Hiral Tipirneni, when asked how much such allegations against the president concern her during her bid to join the GOP congress.

"He needs to address them, obviously. It needs to be investigated," Lesko said of Trump during the debate televised on KPNX TV in Phoenix.

"I don't know that he can lead on that issue, but he certainly needs to deal with it and it has to be investigated. I'm not the president and I don't use his rhetoric, and I'm certainly not going to sexually harass anyone."

2. I was going to sing her praises but read her platform...typical God/Gunz/Abortion bullshit.

Sorry, Deb. Fuck off.

3. Blind, irresponsible exclusion

4. Sorry. Unclear. Could you explain, please?

6. I think my response

Was succinct. We're fractured as hell because we're diverse. There are too many tickets to disagree with and too few that we can agree upon as a majority.

Let's stop beating ourselves down by being puritanical.

Granted, that's likely a product of being the party with a conscience.

8. She said in a debate that she shares the Kochs' values. (!)

5. I am willing to lay money down that she is only saying this due to Donalds kiss of death

history for most of the candidates he has offered support for over the last year and she is hoping to avoid it impacting her.

7. It needs to be investigated? Really?

What a watered down, namby pamby bullshit tsk tsk piece of tiptoeing through the swamp. Of COURSE it should be investigated, no I take that back, the investigation should be already done, and Mango Mussolini should be doing 10 to 20. Just my opinion.
