Katie Britt finally admits sex-trafficking story isn’t linked to Joe Biden: report

It was a flat out lie she told to inflame the maga voter who will only listen to right wing media hosts who lie and distort the truth.  For a long time her office kept claiming the story was true, long enough that no right wing media will cover the retraction, so the right wing voter will believe it really was during the current presidential term.   Hugs.  Scottie

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) has until now been silent regarding whether she falsely linked Joe Biden to a cartel sex-trafficking story, but that’s over as of Saturday.

 

On Friday, one independent journalist raised questions about Britt’s story, told in response to Biden’s State of the Union address, about a woman who had been sex-trafficked by a Mexican cartel. While her speech seemed to imply this happened in the U.S. under Biden, the report suggested it happened under George W. Bush’s presidency, and in Mexico.

One Alabama columnist tried to get an answer from a Britt spokesman, but ended up getting what conservative attorney George Conway called a “non-denial denial” instead of straight talk.

Now, however, the Washington Post has reportedly confirmed the truth:

“Sean Ross, Britt’s communications director, confirmed that she was talking about Karla Jacinto Romero — who has testified before Congress about being forced to work in Mexican brothels from 2004 to 2008,” the outlet reported Saturday. “(A viral TikTok by journalist Jonathan Katz first revealed that Britt was speaking about Romero.) In a phone conversation and a statement, Ross disputed that Britt’s language was misleading.”

The Post, however, vehemently disagreed.

“Britt’s account of Romero’s experience was a centerpiece of her rebuttal to Biden’s address. The way Britt sets up the story, there is no indication that she is talking about a woman who was working in brothels in Mexico during the George W. Bush administration,” according to the Post’s fact check. “But Biden has nothing to do with Romero’s story.”

The article continues by suggesting Romero was “never trafficked in the United States.”

“In a high-profile speech like this, a politician should not mislead voters with emotionally charged language,” the article states. “Romero’s story is tragic and may be evocative of other Mexican girls trapped in the sex trade in that country. But she was not trafficked across the border — and her story has nothing to do with Biden. Britt’s failure to make that clear earns her Four Pinocchios.”

MTG Rages at U.K. Journo’s Jewish Space Laser Question: ‘F*ck Off’

https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-rages-at-uk-journos-jewish-space-laser-question-fck-off

This is what passes as a republican statesperson, an elected official we would want our kids to look up to.  She is a backwards low IQ maga racist bigoted thug.  She is a female tRump, only she is not a coward like he is.   She has no sense of decorum, she thinks being an internet troll in real life is a thing to be proud of, an accomplishment.  She thinks civility and being nice are deviant behavior.  She has the idea that freedom is her being able to tell everyone else how to live, dictating to them what they can or can not do.   What a disgusting person.  Momma’s don’t let your babies grow to be Marge Greene.  Hugs.  Scottie


The MAGA congresswoman had just finished saying that Trump supporters like “the truth.”

Even though the media won’t report on how badly tRump is failing, we must.  The public must know before voting.   Plus we must remind people that reports show that the White House was awash with drugs, speed, uppers, sleep pills, pain pills, cocaine, and Adderall.  Yet tRump and the maga bunch act so holy and pure.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

Raw Story reports:

Donald Trump had several verbal slip-ups at his rally in North Carolina on Saturday, prompting the internet to go wild There were several instances in which the former reality TV star flubbed his lines, glitched, or otherwise slurred through his standard stump speech.

Conservative columnist Tom Nichols said the people in Trump’s audience “mostly know he’s beyond addled now.” “You can keep showing it to them, and they don’t care, because they think it’ll be a hilarious lib-own to put him back in the White House and hand him the codes to 1500 nuclear weapons.”

The MSM is salivating for the stories about Trump winning in November and soon causing total mayhem — they don’t get it that THEY are the very ones who’ll be first on the chopping block. Their blindness is beyond reason.

NYT: Cultists Target Dem Voter Rolls In Multiple States

Republicans  / fundamentalist Christians want minority rule, because they are the minority and they want to force everyone to live by their dictates.  Republicans have no policies to run on, they are unpopular, they are wage a culture war that is very unpopular with the majority so they have to cheat to win elections.   They have to do extreme gerrymandering and restrictive anti-voting laws.   Simply put, they do not want everyone to vote, they hate the idea of one person one vote.  They want only their voters to vote.  In fact the fundamentalist Christian republicans would rather get rid of people voting at all, and instead just pick the republicans that will rule over you, creating the doctrines, rules, laws that dictate how every part of your life must be lived.  To make them happy and suit them.  You must conform to them and their ways of life, no individuality, no being different, no having any thoughts not approved by the pastor or the legislature.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

The New York Times reports:

A network of right-wing activists and allies of Donald J. Trump is quietly challenging thousands of voter registrations in critical presidential battleground states, an all-but-unnoticed effort that could have an impact in a close or contentious election.

Calling themselves election investigators, the activists have pressed local officials in Michigan, Nevada and Georgia to drop voters from the rolls en masse. They have at times targeted Democratic areas, relying on new data programs and novel legal theories to justify their push.

In one Michigan town, more than 100 voters were removed after an activist lobbied officials, citing an obscure state law from the 1950s. In the Detroit suburb of Waterford, a clerk removed 1,000 people from the rolls in response to a similar request.

July of last year: Close to 100,000 Voter Registrations Were Challenged in Georgia — Almost All by Just Six Right-Wing Activists

Why report on actual vote suppression being done on the sly when you can endlessly flog the known fact of Biden’s age and supposed vulnerability?

There is a simple cynical reason for this –
Republicans hate high turn out elections because they no longer have popular enough issues to get their candidates elected into power.

Isn’t it pitiful that the only way a political party can get elected is to remove its opposition from the voting rolls!!! Talk about being Un-American. Joseph McCarthy would have a field day with this horse hockey.

Not a new strategy for the fascists. Prior to the 2000 election, Jeb! with help from his SOS/Florida campaign chairman for his brother, Katherine Harris, removed over 10,000 names from the Florida voter rolls.

Oddly, the voters targeted were 95% black and hispanic with a record of Democratic party registration.

The real question is why arent the democrats doing this right back? Every time someone gets arrested for voter fraud they turn out to be republicans. Where are our organizations going after the GOP voters???

THIS. Frankly, shocked that Stacy Adams hasn’t started something like this. I’m tired of the “When they go low…” bullshit.

If we did it aggressively, across multiple states, watch new laws get passed.

 

If Democrats did it, the SC would immediately take an interest. Unfortunately this would consist of emergency rulings making it impossible for Democrats to register any new voters at all (alongside ‘this should not be taken as precedent’ so that the republicans could carry right on with their criminality).

 

Yup, but until it can be banned, we should be doing so. And the Streisand Effect of their outrage will lead to exposing the damage that republicans have already done. It could both be energizing and help encourage democrats to verify their eligibility and begin the hoop-jumping process to get their voting rights restored.

 

” I’m tired of the ‘When they go low…’ bullshit.”

Same here. At one time that might have been a worthwhile idea, but now it is pointless.

It has been and will be used against us over and over again. We cannot afford to be the “bigger person” anymore. This is that point in time where we’re going to have to compromise and get our hands dirty.

Besides, there are plenty of things we can do that would be ignored otherwise, without stooping to their level.

 

Did you mean Stacy Abrams? The reason why she’s not done anything is the Democratic party has basically told her to stand back.

Similarly, what Obama did when he won and he told grassroots state level parties to cease and desist. Stacy Abrams helped the Democratic party win multiple elections, some against All odds and has been paid back by the party with nothing.

Sometimes the only way to fight fire is with fire. Not at all opposed to being part of MFTSA (Monkeys Flying To Save America). If six inbred knuckle draggers can get something like this done in GA, I wonder how effective a group of flying monkeys could be.

If ONE Democrat did one thing that the Trump Republicans are doing, the GOP would be building the gallows in the freaking Rose Garden and parading them down the DC Mall in shackles. Guaranteed. Can you imaging if Joe Biden did one of the things Trump did? The apoplectic hissies from the sycophantic, obsequious, Trump ass-kissing toadies would be deafening.

Most people don’t find out they’ve been dropped until election day.

Smart people verify they’re still registered about forty-five days before each election.

Bingo. The GQP has made it as clear as they possibly can. They’re in this game now to entirely convert our republic into an authoritarian hell hole. They simply don’t care about having functional gov’t anywhere.

Now some are even running for public office. The insurrection gave them instant cred with Republican base voters.
