"After a Republican lawmaker was accused of sexually assaulting 15- and 16-year-old girls he had taught and coached, he was made chairman of the House education committee." https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/04/08/tennessee-descent-statehouse-mag-00091090
@ryanlcooper
Misogyny is the root of all of this.
@Katrags And racism.
@JoeRiehl
We acknowledge the racism; we talk about it. Racism is considered unacceptable, at least in part socially .
We completely ignore/attack anyone that brings up misogyny ( HRC lost due to bad campaigning, not gender, etc) bc misogyny is so ingrained that acknowledging it is a social taboo.
@JoeRiehl
There is a reason that economically, black /latino men and white woman are equal, while black/latina women make much less than their counterparts.
There is a reason why there is such thing as misogynoir.
There is a reason, excluding the active warzones, the US is the 6th most dangerous country to be a female.
There is a reason why in the US, homicide is the most likely cause of death for pregnant women.
There is a reason why you don't know these things.
@ryanlcooper GOP is an acronym for Gangs of Perverts / Gangs Of Pedophiles / Groomers on Parade / Gross Old Perverts / Guns Over People / Greedy Old Pedophiles / Gangs Of Putin
@ReneeVoiceBrand @ryanlcooper Groomers of Pedophiles
@ShrikeTron @ryanlcooper
Groomers of Pedophiles...BAM!
If you're a white Republican and you personally performed the abortion of the 15-year-old you raped, the GOP will forgive you and promote you. If you're black and you're upset there are guns are too easy to get, you get kicked out of the office you got elected into. #GOPfascists
The malice and hypocrisy !!!
@ryanlcooper white male privilege. They ousted Justin Jones from his duly elected office for protesting. Imagine what they’d do if he were credibly accused of raping teenagers.
@ryanlcooper It’s always a Qpublican
@ryanlcooper That is how you earn your creds in the new GQP! Projection is their only party policy.
He wasn't just accused, he confessed on tape. He made a half-assed apology to one of his victims and she recorded it.
Its getting more and more clear that traumatizing kids isn't just something they are indifferent to, its intentional.
BTW, despite his promise not to run again, he's still there.

@Spicewalla @ryanlcooper How is this man not in jail??
@Melzpetpals Fido looks more attentive to the road than a good proportion of drivers I see.
This entire piece.
So, some of the people of Tennessee don't care, and the rest is disenfranchised? Is that how this works?

@ryanlcooper surely the sex education program
@ryanlcooper And Rep. Gloria Jones filed a bill to expel him. Her bill was killed in committee. That’s one reason why she was targeted. She’s also really active on social media and has a very devoted following.
