"Some Girls Rape Easy" says Rep. Rivard (VIDEO)









"A Wisconsin state representative is in full damage control mode after he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that "some girls rape easy," and -- believe it or not -- they printed the quote. Freshman Rep. Roger Rivard, a Republican, complained to the paper on Wednesday that he was catching flak for a comment he made last December about an 17-year-old high school senior who had sex with a 15-year-old girl in the band room. (In Wisconsin, children under 16 cannot legally consent to any sexual contact.) The comment resurfaced because Rivard is in a tight race with a Democratic challenger, and frankly, people are still curious about why he would say such a thing."* Steve Oh, Jimmy Dore, and RJ Eskow break down the comment and explain what qualifies "false rape."
