// I bet the Republicans are regretting putting that ghastly racist, boorish, ignorant, boastful and lying pervert forward //
Being ghastly, boorish, ignorant and boastful are not crimes. Even Lying is not criminal if it is not under oath.
Racist and pervert require proof. A recording of the man himself saying “You can grab them by the pussy” appears to be proof. He has not denied the recording is genuine, so we must assume the words really are his, so we are able to form an opinion (based on fact).
