You do have to laugh at somebody, turning into a snowflake, whenever she self followed, a student home, lamenting that the boy was taking away her guns
 

We’re standing outside of another congresswoman office, whenever she was not a congresswoman at the time banging on her door

Is this the same Republican who talked about how he had a friend that was married to an underage girl and they were making it work just fine

Well, I think that characterization - comparing himself to Church sex abusers - isn't fair.

But ... listen to it. It's incoherent. He seems to be mixing up two uses of "immunity." The talk of police has to do with "qualified immunity" -- a much-criticized legal doctrine that a cop accused of violating someone's constitutional rights will be immune UNLESS the Court has previously found that this type of conduct is, in fact, a constitutional violation.

The idea of Presidential immunity would be a whole different thing. No one is arguing that unless a prior President was found to have broken the law by, say, fomenting an insurrection, a current ex-President is immune from prosecution. 

The second part of this clip makes sense - it is a policy argument. The first part, however, is a total mess, and actually implies that a President is free to do all sorts of unconstitutional things so long as a prior Supreme Court decision didn't find them unconstitutional.
