“As I near 60 years old, the expiration date has come and gone on any of my youthful indiscretions,” Taylor told the Nashville Scene when asked about the unsolicited nudes allegation. “Whatever story you think you’ve got, my wife is well aware of, and we’ve worked through it a long time ago.”

“My God and my wife have forgiven me, and I would consider everyone else doing the same,” Taylor added.

One individual who was provided anonymity told the Scene that they received unwelcome nudes from the congressman as recently as 2021—when Taylor was 53.

No apology to the person he sexually harassed, then? Everyone relevant has forgiven him?

Ah.. To be naïve and young again to the tender age of 53.... Is he perchance a dwarf that lives up to 500?

So am I free to do crimes since I'm a young fresh-off-the-streets 35 year old?

Nah, he just knows his target audience: Republicans. The average Republican thinks anything under 70 is 'young'.

Young under 70 yrs old, only applies to males. You can reverse the numbers, add a 6 or 7, and this is considered mature, and ''date-able'' for trump's repugnant-cons.

I don't know. There seem to be enough who think a teen is plenty old enough...

Didn’t Trump say 12. That’s not even a teen yet.
