Mitt Romney thinks the peasants should be peasants.

But he doesn't think it's ok if the gentry rape the peasants.

This is a real distinction. But it says more about how depraved his fellow Republicans are than about him being a moral paragon. Not defending or covering* for child molesters is a pretty low bar.

*You know, like "IF it's true! I, of course, have no opinion on its truth after reading a meticulously sourced account with elements confirmed by official records and Moore's sketchy responses to questions about dating young girls and history of siding with men accused of raping underage girls in court cases. So I guess we'll just never know. Vote Roy Moore!"
