“Linked to underage prostitution”? This attack is doubly slimy as

1) Politicians don't choose their donors, donors choose the politicians and
2) The “supporting underage prostitution” line is BS us backpage always opposed underage prostitution, if not for moral reasons than for simple self interest as it threatened their primary revenue stream.
