Why would Republicans care about this lady after they already elected a rapist who will “grab ‘em by the pussy”?
They'd probably kick her out of the party if they had a bigger majority in the House.
Wonder if she'll come to her senses.
She has laid the groundwork as a kind of MAGA-acceptable Super-TERF. She's a power-fantasy for all the evangelical stay at home moms, the Boss Bitch who will protect them from the bad people: yes rapists, but especially any trans women who make them feel uncomfortable.
She'll be given a leash exactly long enough to bite anyone who is less powerful than she is.
Ugh. She's worse than I realized.To be honest, I really need to set my expectations much lower for everyone who calls themselves a Republican, not just the obvious MAGAts.
🤡
She does realize she's in the Republican party, right?
She should consider herself lucky that they considered her a person
They don't consider her a person
I barely consider her a person.
I'm guessing she actually bought the rhetoric that "Republicans respect women".
Trumps gonna hire those 4 men to be the next government office of rape, sex trafficking and sexual misconduct. I'm sure geatz will be part of it too
Their job will be to prevent those things right?
...
Right?
Bless your heart.
Not under trump 🙃
She's right wing, wtf is she thinking 🤡
Elon will Putin her out of the window.
Welp I'm sorry for her and hope she gets justice and closure.
Even though she is a hateful wretch.
Nobody deserves to be raped or abused.
I agree that nobody does.
However, after she's screeched about trans people existing and how persecuted she is for her bigoted version of religion, forgive me if I want to see receipts in her case. Republicans are historically all about optics to push some personal agenda.
You can only cry wolf so many times before it just becomes noise.
I know. I have decided to believe all victims, until proven otherwise, but I see how bad the optics are.
That's my general practice as well, but I feel compelled to make an exception in her case. She needs to earn back my trust (what little there was to begin with).
It really doesn’t help that she falsely accused someone of assault over a handshake like 3 months ago. Or that she spray painted her own property to claim she was being targeted by the dreaded antifa. To say that she has a history of history of attacking her opponents this way would be an understatement.
Yeah, she has fucking destroyed her own credibility. Maybe this shit happened, and she certainly didn't deserve that. But her say so isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
No one deserves it, but I have a hard time finding any sympathy for people who want to use legislation to hurt others.
That being said she's the person Im least likely to believe making these kinds of claims.
Even if she wishes this and other harm on others?
Yes, even then.
You don't have morals if they're conditioned on the identity of the person they're being applied to. That just makes you a different flavor of bigot.
Nobody deserves to be sexually assaulted, even the people you don't like.
That being said Mace has a history of false claims of attacks on her by others so I am not inclined to believe her since her complaint is that her opponent in a race did not investigate these claims not that these men attacked her.
Sure, but there's a large difference between questioning someone's credibility and approving of them being sexually assaulted.
That is to say there's a large moral difference between "she has a history of making up claims for attention, so I don't believe her" and "she wishes harm on others, so I hope she gets sexually assaulted".
I mean, just on the face of it, it is hypocritical to wish harm on someone because they wish harm on someone. Is wishing harm on someone wrong, or is it not?
Unfortunately, people seem to have no grasp of nuance and just react with the most outrageous takes. In my mind I just assume that these commenters are literally children, who're simply copying bad behaviors and not actual functioning adults with the ability to self-reflect. But, that's more for my own sanity.
P diddy does. And o j Simpson. And, probably, Kanye
I hope she gets what she voted for.
Well she certainly didn't vote for the party that's going to do anything about the backlog of untested rape kits.

Nope, just the party that wants to force you to give birth to your rapist's rape baby.
I mean, this is the world she votes for
Conservative women are objects so I don't really know what it means by rape and trafficking. Aren't those terms that apply to people?
Names?
As an aside, what are these little round bumps under her lips called? I’ve seen them on some folks and I’m guessing there’s a name for them but I’ve never come across it.
