Reply to comment by CthulhuAlmighty in Unsure if anyone just saw it on Capitol TV, but Rep Quattrocchi just baselessly and flat out accused a woman presenting a bill (HB 5763, instituting an equity impact statement on future legislative bills) a pedophile on the floor. by whatsaphoto
🤦 Talking about something you witnessed is not hearsay.

Lol, just a typical conservative using words that they don’t fully understand. They do seem to have a firm grasp on pedophillia though, it honestly feels like projection at this point.

OP may have witnessed it, but provides no evidence. They are spreading it to others, which will then be hearsay.

Lol no, that is not hearsay. 😂

Without the video evidence being provided, how could it be substantiated? It would be hearsay.

No! Wrong!
First of all, look around; This isn’t a court case. Y’all can fuck off with hearsay all together. I heard from a guy I know whose wife told him you fuck dogs. That’s hearsay and I can still say it whenever I feel like.
In court:
“I saw her say X” is admissible testimony.
“My friend said she said X” is hearsay, which is not admissible evidence in court.

Excuse me while I spread this, then.

Please do, he was being an asshole. But he didn’t accuse her of being a pedophile as you stated in your post.

>"Oh, I didn't mean to. Are you a pedophile? I'm sorry," Quattrocchi, a Scituate Republican, asked Kislak, a Providence Democrat.
The article doesn't convey the timing of that quote as well. There was a long pause between "Are you a pedophile?" and "I'm sorry." Long enough to put a pretty significant emphasis on the accusation. Enough to get a rise out of the entire room.
Regardless, I got a feeling that even if I did have a clip of the moment for you, you would still find a way to misconstrue the obvious reality of the situation.

I like to have some sort of proof before taking a strangers word on a serious accusation like this.
You seem to think I’m defending this rep, I’m not. Hell, I didn’t even vote for him (and he was on my ballot). But before I break out pitchforks and torches (hyperbole, but making phone calls and visiting offices isn’t off the table), I like to hear/see it from a reputable source.
While I think he was being a douchebag, it doesn’t read from the article as bad as you initially made it sound. Although, you might be right, the video might make it worse.
