Vince McMahon, wife Linda ignored sexual abuse of ex-WWE ‘ring boys’, bombshell suit claims

The men – who were underaged boys at the time of the alleged abuse – filed suit anonymously in a Maryland court against McMahon, his wife Linda and their company TKO Group Holdings.

Linda McMahon is the co-chair of Trump’s transition team.

She’s is considered a likely member of the cabinet as secretary of commerce.

The article says she has been aware of the underage sex trafficking since the 80s.

In fact, McMahon admitted to Post columnist Phil Mushnick in the 1980s that he and his wife knew that Phillips had a “peculiar and unnatural interest” in boys, the suit filed in Maryland Circuit Court alleges. (emphasis added)

      Whatever GOP politicians villainize, it’s nearly uniformly projection on their part.

    “bombshell” used to mean something other than “here’s another fucking terrible thing that happened that no one will face any consequences for”

    Some people look down on WWE, I see it as a window on American culture. Even the lazy refrain: you know it’s not real right? Well read the allegations against McMahon with special attention to how he ran his enterprise, and say that again. It’s as obtuse as saying “you know movies aren’t real, right”? Wrasslin’ is like what would happen if an improv troupe went global. Just think of the talent that’s come out of it: legendary athletes, blockbuster actors, …POTUS.

    Instead of getting up early for Meet the Press, I stay up late for Monday night Raw.

      I mean - this ain’t about no wrasslin, this about corrupt-as-fuck fascists living above the law like the kings they believe themselves to be.

      As a Junkyard Dog man, I took that personally.

    Trump supporters don’t care about the personal lives of politicians. Criminal elements anyway.
