Stochastic terrorism

America - the Rs, anyway - is ridiculous. Yet dangerous. Due to gun laws. Or lack thereof.

4. She was calling Democrats pedophiles that's what that means. Nobody says pedo meaning child

Their lame excuses are getting worse and worse. She is a leader in Congress I don’t care if it’s her personal account.She shouldn’t be making accusations like that without any proof and casting aspersions. This kind of thing is leading to the breakdown of civilized behavior in this country and all of the Republicans campaigning this way are contributing to the violence we are experiencing.

No one says "pedo" for child. The twists and turns they'll do to explain her behavior are dizzying.

so I guess a pedo grifter is someone, who traffics children for sex. That's what she meant. Which just goes to show that those deplorable people will label Dems with the most vile language possible.

10. That's why Dems have to start calling out THEIR pedophiles ...

Matt Gaetz is still in the congress and traitor Green pals around with him, but Dems to my knowledge have said nothing about that. Gavin Newsome is right--you have to fight these vile, lying, racist assholes word for word. They always call Dems pedophiles, and Dems just sit there and take it. I just don't get, it IF someone called ME a pedophile like you see traitor Greene doing to most Dems, I'd raise holy hell about it and challenge her hard on the eyes ass to PROVE IT.

This is not the time to just ignore the GQP US Taliban party. Dems need to bring something to the table more to fight them than just "I/we've decided to ignore them."

Definition of pedo-

a combining form meaning “child,” used in the formation of compound words:
pedophilia.

I spent nearly 50 years in pediatrics, and never once did I hear ANYONE use "pedo" instead of child or kid when discussing our patients.

Not! He was trying to spin her ridiculous statements with an absolutely unbelievable reply.
It takes a special kind of thick-skinned bullshit artist to work for that woman.
Typical Republican campaign staff member.

pedophiles to instantly demonize them. It works like a charm! Repukes are following his (and every other autocrat/despot's) lead.

Repukes are following the autocrat's playbook! Dems need to call them out for following the Putin Playbook!!!!!

they just want to take away other people's choice.

And she's calling Dems pedophiles because GOP is the party of projection. Way too many GOP officials have been arrested for it to be a coincidence.
