This is about the last person I would ever expect to hear from about sex scandals. She has enough of her own, yet she is speaking out in Congress. She’s done all these things, ought not be talking about scandals, yet she is. And she’s not trying to hide it. What is going on with our world? From Raw Story:
A firebrand MAGA lawmaker put her colleagues on notice Wednesday — including members of her own party — as she aims squarely at Congress’ sexual misconduct slush fund” amid a bipartisan House effort to release documents in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made the comments exclusively to Raw Story on Wednesday after joining House efforts to release the Epstein files by signing a discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA). Boebert was one of four Republicans who officially endorsed the petition, which seeks to force a House vote demanding the full release of Department of Justice records related to Epstein and his associates.
Well, first of all, that’s good news, because we needed 4 Republicans to sign onto the discharge petition to force the release of *all* of the Epstein files. But Lauren Ho-bert ,,, er … Boebert is voting for it? That made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. She’s already in a bunch of “trouble” for the Beetlejuice hand job stupidity and more, so, surprisingly, she’s speaking out. I would *never* expect that from her, ever. But what gets me is that she didn’t care about being caught. She’s not exactly been the smartest one in the box.
Talking to Raw Story, Boebert went a step further, suggesting details of sexual misconduct from fellow Congress members ought to also be brought to light. “Also, I think the sexual assault slush fund, members of Congress paying off staffers to be quiet, that this should be released too,” Boebert told Raw Story’s Matt Laslo. In 2018, data released by a House committee showed nearly $300,000 in taxpayer money was spent to settle 13 claims against members of Congress or their offices since 2003, including over sexual harassment or sex discrimination, The Associated Press reported. The statistics didn’t include names or other identifying information, except settlement amounts and the basis for the claim.
That’s a lot of payout. Did anyone learn from it? I would say that’s fairly unlikely. If they’ve been able to get away with this before, why not keep doing it? This is total and complete bullshizzle, I, for one, am tired of this crap. Put out the reports while we’re waiting on the Epstein files.
Boebert said that needs to change. “That’s a pretty big one, and, you know, I was promised before this Congress that we would be all over it. And I’ve heard more about the Epstein list and other things than that. So why are we — are these members still here? What were they covering up? What were they paying off? That’s something the American people need to be demanding answers on,” she said. “That’s just like a bipartisan swamp?” Raw Story asked. “Yes,” Boebert replied. “Absolutely.” She warned of what could emerge should the secret side deals face sunlight.
So now we have a second potential scandal brewing while we’re waiting on the Epstein files. And people also want to know who, how much, and why, of the members of Congress who have had payouts done for them. Hang onto your hats, folks. This is going to be quite a ride.
Zoomers, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help democracy survive. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
it’s a lot of talk and fluff from mtg and blowbert. haven’t seen anything yet but the same old same old. excuse me for not believing them.
I can’t explain it either, but it is what it is. The fact is, they did sign on, amounting to half the republicans who have up to now.
And so did Nancy Mace, of all people. The three most toxic female Republicans in Cangress, I think. There may be someone worse, but she’s not coming to mind.
I wondered how long before Bobo the clown would realize no one was paying attention to her
