Sen Mullin on Gaetz: “When he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl, there’s a reason why no one in the conference defended him. We all saw videos he was showing us on the House floor of girls he slept with & brag how he would crush ED medicine so he could go all night.”

So did the normies who voted for Trump because they think Biden made bacon more expensive realize that Matt Gaetz would be AG, a Putin propagandist would be DNI, and a Fox host would be SecDef?

I have a feeling this won’t be the first time we say that we tried to warn you.

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.
