I know, I know, USUALLY when a headline asks a question, the answer is always “NO!”

In this case, someone ran down the source of Britt’s sex trafficking story, and it did happen…

In Mexico…

When George W. Bush was President.

    So this woman is randomly making up shit about little girls getting repeatedly raped in response to the State of the Union address. Disgusting.

      Well, it’s not random. They want to blame Biden for problems at the border by telling the true story of an abuse victim from 20 years ago who never crossed the border.

      Worse still, she is doing it to help an admitted sexual abuser* and adjudged rapist** elected to the highest office in the land.

        Unfortunately it’s a Twitter video, and the only way to download it is with a premium subscription. And that is NOT happening. Hard stop.

          This doesn’t help you on a mobile device, but in case others weren’t aware of its existence, there’s a great open source tool for downloading from many/most websites: yt-dlp

        It’s a video link, but basically, he ran down the visit to Texas she talked about, found out the other politicians who went with her, then found out who they met with.

    Well, if the poor woman who suffered the horrible abuse starting at the age of 12, it had to have been at least 6 years ago (assuming she is an 18 y/o adult now). This places it under Trump or earlier in any event.

        2004 is earlier, no?

    I watched around 60% of the neural missfires contorting into words spewing out of her facehole.

    Her vibe alternates between:

    • condescending mom scolding her children for asking what gay means or why god tolerates evil in the world if she were real

    • “please dont hit me again, I was wrong as always in questioning you my sweet loving husband”

    • You should all be afraid because the West is falling, again, for real this time, pinky promise, I swear on my dead mothers grave

    Queue the pavlovian response from the average republican voter, like a dead frog poked with an electric prod.

    Fun rule of journalism, ‘Betteridge’s Law’ : if a headline asks a question, the answer is almost always ‘no’.

    Edit: lmao even the writer mentions in the first line. I mean why even try to argue your point after that?

      Because even though the event itself was not a lie, attempting to frame it as negative to the Biden administration was? 🤔
