But if you were to see that by a candidate running on a narrative of being, say, this very, very faith-based guy who doesn't drink or do that, it would be really destructive.
There is no narrative more damaging than having a close family member, some of you get where I'm going with this, tell you who someone really is.
And even worse, when your mom comes out and films an ad saying, don't vote for my daughter.
I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
