I don't really get the difference between Cawthorn and AOC, other than AOC probably finished college, and wasn't caught naked with her cousin (yet). Like it or not, he represented the folks from that part of NC, and I think he lost more for the "gay shit with cousin on video" than "embellished and lied on his resume". But I'm not on Twitter (shudder) and might be missing out on some important details.
pretty sure he represented them just fine, including the gay shit he did with his cousin. They just don’t want to admit that part. Like how Lindsay graham is so against gay people (publicly).
No, Epstien. Do any of y'all think there was any chicanery from the GOP (rigging of votes) in Cawthorn's loss, or do you think his opponent really got more votes? Also, does anyone know anything about his replacement? Is he going to be an improvement, or is he going to be more of the same, only worse? In other news, Dr. Oz (yes, THAT Dr. Oz) is running for Senate in Pennsylvania.
He wasn’t ousted for being a stupid, lying hateful piece of shit— which he factually is— he was ousted for bringing up these fucktards’ Eyes Wide Shut parties. There probably was a fix somewhere in there but who cares. Let the GOP morons cannibalize each other, it’s earned. They have some serious housecleaning and apologizing to do for allowing these fucking monkeys to utterly humiliate them the past half decade.
I highly doubt this. Outside of the insane smear campaign against him with the videos and venmos and all that. The likelihood of actual vote fixing to oust that little dipshit is very small. He’s just a highly immature little turd. He might be gay but honestly who cares? I guess republicans do. IMO he’s not nearly as toxic as Greene. That lady is crazy piece of shit. Anyhow, him running his mouth and being a dumb dumb is what got him voted out. No need to engage in a high level voter fraud conspiracy because he just wasn’t that popular to begin with. Throw in a video of him facefucking his male cousin, and voila. If he was well-spoken and somewhat charismatic without a complete trail of bullshit behind him, he could have been unstoppable. He could have been the AOC of the right. Like her or hate her, she is effective. Remember, he literally lied about everything about his past. Finishing college, being in the military…you name it. All easily verifiable shit and he lied about that too.
Yeah, I don't think any fraud occurred. This was just a good old-fashioned political hatchet job. He pissed off the party, and they sent their hatchetmen to work on him with the biggest oppo dump we've seen in quite a while.
The obvious implication being that they knew this from the start, helped him get into elected office, and used it against him when he couldn't be used himself. I wonder what they've got on Boebert the pedo bride, or Greene.
What's amazing, for both Cawthorn and these women as well, is how much is already public about them. In any prior era they'd be unelectable just as a default. The public info on these goons is an order of magnitude stronger than even the best oppo file from prior generations. And it doesn't matter to Republican voters. I think the party just lucked out that Cawthorn just so happened to also be a bit light in the loafers; without the homophobic angle I don't think they could have gotten the voters to care.
I mean, if people want to lump her into the the rest of the “squad”, they can. But the others have been more controversial with a lot of their antisemitic-ish statements over the past few years. I think AOC is good at communicating to her constituents and drawing attention to topics of importance. Whether she has made a meaningful difference with respect to passing legislation, I’m not totally sure on the numbers. I feel like when she talks, people listen. Whether it’s positive or critical, she gets noticed.
I don't know about that, man. His legs looked like they worked when he was trying spray paint his cousin's tonsils white. I'd be willing to wager that he can actually walk around with those crutch/ canes that people with MS use, and he just uses the wheelchair for attention/ sympathy. Someone needs to pull a Walter Sobchak on him.
she also got millions of dollars donated to Texas after the snowpocalypse, even though the majority of the people here hate her, and the federal relief money that was supposed to be used to fix the grid went to the wall that no one wants I don't agree with her on everything, but after that she at minimum has my respect
