@rod10366 @ProblemSolved57 He apparently was not suspended, according to reports from the first day of the trial.

Democrats in 2024: Trump is a Nazi, abuser, and rapist!

Democrats in 2026: Vote for our Nazi, abuser, and rapist!

@BettyZotheonly @BravobyKate Ugh. I think Austen gets to live if West is in the picture.

@BenVerlander I’ll miss him forever in Houston.

@LonWongson @kikisknees @SarahisCensored You’re wrong and racist.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@stilldexhinton This year’s Faith and Family night was poorly advertised, I thought.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@LonWongson @kikisknees @SarahisCensored No, you don’t. The OP said they’re ALL like this. That is false and racist. It wasn’t about what you say to a victim of a specific harm. You’re changing the subject and not addressing the issue.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@LonWongson @kikisknees @SarahisCensored Not what I said. But yes, blaming all ants when some ants don’t bite people at all is akin to what you’re doing.

@mets_man06 @thatfrontallobe Or Ciara.

@cenkuygur @grahamformaine There are multiple accusers, and you know it, you liar. Also, so what if she exposed the tattoo? The tattoo did, in fact, exist.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@LonWongson @kikisknees @SarahisCensored Not the same thing. Although not all ants bite people, so maybe in a way, it is.

Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn’t clean or easy.

I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the “cool girl” or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham.

I also know how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist — so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out, though I would also immediately shut down any attempts on his part to initiate flirting or romanticizing of the past.

Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo — and I was terrified he would find out it was me.

But of course he knew it was me.

What’s ironic is I absolutely never would have shared my story if he hadn’t been relentlessly attacking my character behind the scenes for months once the tattoo story came out.

I tried to signal that I wasn’t the source and stayed completely silent about him on social media even as most of my friends posted regularly about what a bad person he is.

But then in early April the New York Times came to me. I asked how they got my number. I said I was not interested in sharing my story. They said but wait—there are other women. Women terrified to tell their stories, too, and you need to band together. WE will help you. We will protect you. Men can’t keep getting away with this.

Hours before their first call to me I saw Eric Swalwell’s name plate get removed from his office door in Cannon. It felt like fate.

I welcomed the two journalists into my home days later, nervous and overwhelmed. Justin Fairfax had just murdered his wife and himself the previous day and even conservative pundits were conjecturing that “if only those women hadn’t accused him of abuse, this never would have happened…”

But I told them my story. I let them take pictures of my diary pages. I sent them screenshots of messages and gave them phone numbers and contacts. It was excruciating. I was surprised by what details I remembered, and as I poured through old messages I was horrified by how much I had forgotten.

I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time—I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that’s fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough.

They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn’t feel so alone. I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their (sadly very accurate) sense that something was wrong.

One of the victims and I realized our relationships with Graham overlapped completely - he had been cheating on both of us the entire time we were together.

I should note here that my life is just… beautiful. These are the best years of my life. Raising two young girls in a safe, beautiful neighborhood where I work from home and shuffle my children from dance classes and soccer to church events — I am blessed far beyond what I deserve with wonderful friends and family and the most loving, brilliant husband in the world. Why would I blow my life up like this? Why would I risk the psychotic doxxing from violent leftist activists?

Because while I have been terrified to come forward I decided this was the “hard right thing” to do. The guilt of staying silent has nagged me.

Most therapists recommend a “gray rock” approach to extracting yourself from narcissistic abuse — it works really well, but it is a gift to the abuser, allowing them to persist in their delusion that they’ve done nothing wrong.

I couldn’t stay silent as he continued to lie and lie and lie. I want my daughters to boldly speak out if they’re ever abused as I was.

@gabnation @dontknowher3 @jonesingforwhat What could be sadder than having nothing but WeSTD. And that won’t last.

Funny how all I hear about is Islamophobia but all I see is antisemitism.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@ericasullivan00 @krystalball @grahamformaine Some people “struggle” with sticking to their diet and exercise regimen. Platner “struggles” with Nazism and abuse of women, among other things. Not all “struggles” are equal.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@yemisi Perfectly said.

[Trisha Posner @trishaposner]

It took a non-Jewish political commentator @HughHewitt to drop a truth bomb this morning about the Democratic Party and antisemitism.

“The Democratic Party is deeply infected with anti-Semitism — not anti-Israel sentiment, not anti-Zionism — antisemitism. And it’s like a sepsis….It’s either going to kill the Democratic Party or it’s going to kill the United States.”

25 years after 9/11, the Muslim Brotherhood influence and radical jihadist sympathizers are being mainstreamed in the Democratic Party.

This is no longer a warning. It’s a diagnosis.

@RoyalistTrux @JewishWonk I’m a half-Jewish Christian, and I’m more Jewish than you.

And if you believe dogs can be trained to rape people, and that someone can have a Nazi tattoo for almost 20 years without knowing what it is, I’m also a lot less gullible than you.

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@kikisknees @SarahisCensored Isn’t quiet what you wanted them to be?

[Rachel Hoffer @RachelMHoffer]

@otherbarrylives @SarahIronside6 Having a Nazi tattoo, a dubious social media account, and fantasies about raping intruders, among other things, is quite the molehill. I’ll die on the molehill that Platner is unelectable.
