@Strandjunker@libbage55 She DID stand up to him better than anyone else did then, but IMO credit for that is negated by the fact that she was part of the DNC's effort to shut Bernie out when multiple polls showed he would blow Trump out the water & she could eek by Trump at best
WOW!
Sex Trafficking victim Karla Jacinto has some very harsh words for Republican Senator Katie Britt.
Britt, who used Jacinto’s story in the GOP response to the State of the Union Address, not only seems to have gotten facts wrong, but she also didn’t ask Jacinto permission to use her story.
FACTS:
- Jacinto was not trafficked by the drug cartels. She was trafficked by a Pimp.
- Jacinto was Trafficked in Mexico — never in the United States.
- The events took place under President George W. Bush.
Jacinto told CNN:
“I hardly ever cooperate with politicians, because it seems to me that they only want an image. They only want a photo — and that to me is not fair… I work as a spokesperson for many victims who have no voice, and I really would like them to be empathetic: all the governors, all the senators, to be empathetic with the issue of human trafficking because there are millions of girls and boys who disappear all the time. People who are really trafficked and abused, as she [Britt] mentioned. And I think she [Britt] should first take into account what really happens before telling a story of that magnitude”
Is Britt going to apologize for using Jacinto as a political tool?
When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer and the gains don’t trickle down.
When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands and the economy grows.
It’s that simple.
Do not let the Katie Britt news cycle die. Keep repeating it until it’s seared into everyone’s memories. Repeat it the way Trump repeats “build the wall” and “lock her up.” Repeat it until the whole country knows that all the Republicans have are lies and fear mongering.
BREAKING: Fox News guest stuns Republican viewers by admitting that President Biden’s historic State of the Union address was a huge “success.”
“He brought a lot of vigor, a lot of energy,” said the guest, talking about how Biden crushed expectations.
“I think that it was a good speech,” he conceded.
Ring-wing commentator Dana Perino also conceded Biden’s victory, saying that Republicans “took the bait” by yelling out during the speech and Biden was “skillful.”
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Biden crushed it — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Her consulting firm also stands to gain if Trump is re-elected.
Yet Clarence Thomas didn't recuse himself from the Colorado ballot case ruling.
How is this not a scandal of epic proportions?
Starting today, millionaires won't pay into Social Security for the rest of the year. Billionaires stopped paying the first day of 2024.
This is absurd.
If we make the wealthy pay their fair share, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand it by $2,400 a year.
One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of “trickle-down” economics.
His grandson, Timothy Mellon, is bankrolling Trump's reelection.
Timothy uses his platform to rage against social programs.
This is how dynastic wealth works.
Wealth tax now.
In Alabama, a roofing company illegally hired a 15-year-old.
On his first day, he fell 50 feet down, fractured his skull, and died.
All per US Department of Labor proceedings — fining the company $117,175.
It should be 10 times that.
THIS is why we need child labor laws.
Wow. Gavin Newsom is now running this commercial in Tennessee.
Tennessee Republicans have banned abortion even for rape victims and they are now trying to punish young women that travel to receive care.
Women in Republican-controlled Missouri cannot divorce their spouse if they are pregnant.
There are no exceptions for domestic violence.

Today Speaker Sexton placed troopers outside his press conference, blocking me and the public from watching his briefing about the session.
I have stayed to listen to his weekly comments to be informed of his deceptive narratives.
He continues to prove he is drunk with power.
