There are plenty of GOP members doing truly horrific shit to not have to scrape the bottom of the barrel like this

GOP senator lies about how much he enjoys hiking and exploring on his dating profile

😱

Yeah, but highlighting the horrific shit doesn't seem to stop them. Maybe highlighting the embarrassing will get them to at least feel shame for once in their lives.

Gaslight, Obstruct, Project.

Nope, I don’t see anything about shame in there. Also those assholes just double down when embarrassing or worse news comes out about them.

People lie on the internet?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

For those wondering, he’s 37, and he said 29.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 14 points 4 months ago

That's probably the least worst thing any member of the GOP has ever done.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Kinda weird but really nominal considering what the rest of the party is being forgiven of by their base.

For real, this shit's weak, they're the American Fascist Party.

Does anyone else think he looks creepily like a ventriloquist dummy?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Or just a regular dummy

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Their next story on him will be' rising GOP star comes out.' My gaydar is 100% telling me hes gay

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Do you just show up to say inflammatory shit just so people will converse with you?

What's your damage?

[-] teft@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

He appears to be a downvote troll. Just block him.
