Afterward, I received an email containing an audio file of a conversation between someone who supposedly works in the congresswomans office and a constituent.
CALLER: Okay. So, she tweeted again. She said, "The White House, House Dems and usual pedo grifters." Now, you start the conversation pretty bad when you say, "The White House, House Dems, and usual pedo grifters." Who are the usual pedo grifters?
STAFFER: So I don't mean cut you off, I want to... Because we've got a few phone calls about this. First off, this is her personal Twitter. Just have to note that. And number two, pedo is not short for pedophile, it is pedo as in children. Pedo is, if you look it up on Google it's-
CALLER: Yeah. I know what the word means.
STAFFER: Exactly defines to child.
CALLER: So these are people who are grifting their children? How are they grifting their children? Or are they children who are grifting?
STAFFER: No, not children who are grifting.
CALLER: So they're not-
STAFFER: Saying people are grifting on behalf of children.
CALLER: They're grifting on behalf of children?
STAFFER: Correct.
CALLER: And she thought that the way to say that people who are grifting on behalf of children, which, I don't really understand how... Who's grifting? How is there a grift involved in any of this? Like what's the grift here?
STAFFER: Well, I really can't analyze it for you just because I haven't gotten a statement on it. Again, this is her personal Twitter account.
CALLER: Sure.
STAFFER: I'm just giving you the definitions because we've received a lot of calls for clarification. I'm just kind of clarifying what that means.
They. Lie. About. Everything.
