Being real, the only weird part of the story is that he told it where and when he did. It's otherwise a boring and common thing that people do talk about, even including the dumb joke about "doing what he loved" about a rabbit having a heart attack post mating.

Doesn't change that he's a douche, and an ignorant one at that. But it isn't like he was fucking rabbits himself

Also being real, those are pretty fucking important things to be aware of and take into account before you tell a story... I mean, it would probably be frowned upon for you to stand up to give a toast at someone's wedding and abruptly launch into a speech about being molested by your uncle when you were 13, yeah?

And you're right, he wasn't fucking the rabbits himself... Apparently he just likes to watch. But it's whatever, I don't kink shame 🤷‍♂️ You do you, animal voyeur senator

Well if it’s your uncles wedding…

Oh, I agree that he's batshit crazy to have told that story in those circumstances.
