I mean, this is the world she votes for

She's right wing, wtf is she thinking 🤡
- Elon will Putin her out of the window.

She does realize she's in the Republican party, right?
- I'm guessing she actually bought the rhetoric that "Republicans respect women".
- She should consider herself lucky that they considered her a person
  
  They don't consider her a person

She remains a strong supporter of Trump, a fellow Republican who has been accused by about two dozen women of sexual misconduct dating back to the 1970s. He has been found liable in court for sexual abuse.
- 🤡

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.

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
- government office of rape, sex trafficking and sexual misconduct
  Their job will be to prevent those things right?
  ...
  Right?
  
  Bless your heart.
  
  Not under trump 🙃

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.
  
  The third-term lawmaker from South Carolina, who is considering a run for governor, also accused her would-be GOP rival of not investigating the allegations.
- No one deserves it, but I have a hard time finding any sympathy for people who want to use legislation to hurt others.
- 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.

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.
