The Republican congresswoman said “while none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that”

    The author misunderstood her actual statement because of her slurring. What she actually said was, “I simply fell short on my vape-juice”.

    Politicians poor behavior is always swept under the rug. We should demand better behavior from all elected officials.

    “Everywhere that I go people are having a hard time buying groceries, affording gas, getting to work, paying for their child care, affording the homes that they live in— or the homes that they would like to live in. We have got to get the spending under control in Washington, D.C.”

    What does any of that have to do with tightening spending in Washington DC? How will tightening spending help any of that?

    What specifically is she apologizing for?

    Blowing a giant vape cloud in on someone’s head, smoking in front of a pregnant woman, jacking off a guy in public, dancing in a theater where everyone is sitting, flipping off the ushers, or lying about all of that stuff because she thought it wasn’t on camera?

    The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community

    “I’m sorry I got caught”

      Absolutely. Before the video, she lied about it and downplayed it and accused others about falsifying the accusations. Suddenly there’s video and now she “apologizes” (she didn’t really, it was a fake apology, she didn’t say she’s sorry for what she did, she basic said she’s sorry others found it offensive, that’s not an apology) and she’s entirely quiet on all the lying she did beforehand about saying it was overblown.

        She didn’t even really say she was sorry others found it offensive, it came off as saying she was sorry she got caught. I suppose that shouldn’t be surprising given the GQP. None of them have any shame and are only “sorry” when they get caught.

    I’m just saying, this lady could have gone into porn, made a killing, kept her mouth shut, and been perfectly fine.

    But she wanted power without understanding what that entails.

    Falling short of ones values is only possible if you actually have values. Which she doesn’t.

    Translation:

    The optics of my public sexual act is super bad for my campgain strategy of yelling about the existence of trans people as inherently a public sexual act.
