    Imagine a confirmed rapist taking out a full page ad to accuse innocent people of the very crime he's guilty of. 🤔
  • @jayceak7
    So the guy who wrongfully called for the execution of the central park 5 over rape has now been adjudicated a rapist by a judge. Karma 🔥

    I saw a billboard yesterday. It read "None of us are free, until all of us are free."
  • @Magda-cn9ob
    I just can't wrap my had around the fact that ANY Black American could even consider voting for Trump😢
  • This man is head and shoulders more articulate, more eloquent, more decent than that horrible Trump could ever possibly be.
  • @StarrTile
    And this is the exact and main reason why I have never believed in the death penalty, innocent people need protection

    This is as American as apple pie. You have touched my soul with those words.How right you are sir
  • @mitseraffej5812
    This man is infinitely more eloquent than Trump could ever hope to be.
  • @beckiehicks102
    You can feel the decency in this man's VOICE to THINK HE was in JAIL AND CHUMP IS STILL WALKING FREE 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

    "We need more good people to do the right thing." I like where he places responsibility.
  • Even the interviewer was very emotional. The voice shows she was touched by the kind of man she was speaking with. Thank you Yousef. Decency triumphs over bullish actions.
  • @trevorbrown4674
    It is so disgusting to have an actual rapist advocate for the death of a rongfully accused rapist. Projection at it's finest.
  • @sooz9433
    We can't allow trump to ever hold a public office again anywhere in America. He is too full of hatred and vindictiveness to be a public figure.
