Heard this rumor, and so far only right-wing "Yeah, he said it!" webs sites I found.
(No evidence of it though, yet.)

The only sources reporting that he said "rapists" are right-wing rags.

(46,328 posts)7. He did equate supporting Trump with approving of rape.
As I saw in the video above.
While not directly calling Trump supporters "rapists," this does come close.
It's inflammatory and I expect shit like this from right-wing blowhards like Rush and Alex Jones.

He questioned whether someone holding down a woman while another rapes her is complicit in the rape; similarly, if someone votes for a racist, that person is also a racist.
