Embarrassing and shameful, but not surprising. Just another day in Trumpistan.

All of the sex trafficking stories told by conservatives and reactionaries are inaccurate at best and usually just outright lies. That Sound of Freedom crap was the same thing.

Sound of Freedom was a good movie, I don't know how true the story is.

Seems like the 2024 SOTU Address was covering 2 extremes. Went extremely well for Biden, but extremely not well for the GOP.

We're living in an age where facts do not matter. What matters is how a particular narrative makes people feel. It's basically the inverse of the groan-worthy "facts don't care about your feelings" trope--your feelings don't care about facts. This is true for both the average liberal and the average conservative; people are much more willing to believe something that feels true to them and reinforces their own narrative, so pretty soon it won't even matter if a politician or media figure is misrepresenting a story versus straight up fabricating it out of thin air. What will matter is if the voters like their story. I'm not immune to this either, but I'm baffled by how many people do not have the little voice in their head telling them that a particular story strains credulity even if it works for their own narrative. Maybe people just don't care.

I'm skeptical that Tik Tok was critical to breaking the news about Britt falsifying most of the details in her re-telling of this story, especially as CNN had profiled Karla Jacinto before. But as a counterpoint to what we're seeing from people who are so afraid of the CCP that they view its censorship of the internet as a model, fair enough.

Britt needs to respond to this asap.

But she won’t.

Britt needs to respond to this asap.

But she won’t.

Republicans are allergic to accountability.

Imagine actually believing this

Britt needs to respond to this asap.

But she won’t.

In a just world she'd be expelled from the Senate over this if she refused to resign.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

Damn. This activist owned the hell out of Katie Britt.

Britt needs to respond to this asap.

But she won’t.

She was asked about it on Fox. Basically she said because she referred to her as a woman when she was 12 it wasn't referring to events during the Biden administration.
