She’s an absolute clown
Not the 'c' word I would have used, but still accurate.
Despite her gender and presumable sex, i doubt many would describe her as having either warmth or depth or being a thing which brings joy.
Ya know what's great about this article? It opens saying that Mace says she was assaulted and that all the witnesses say that it was a handshake. Then says "Whatever the truth...". By using that phrasing, HuffPo is literally caving to Mace's threat of a defamation lawsuit. They're essentially saying "sure all the witnesses say this was a handshake, but we can't possibly know the truth" all because they believe her that she will sue the places that report it as the handshake that it was. The decision for this phrasing was likely made by an editor, but it still sucks that they're acting like we can't possibly know the truth.
I had heard a bunch of Right Wingers claiming "A trans attacked Nancy Mace! This PROVES that the LGBT are after her! She was right!"
Had no idea what they were talking about. They just kept going on about a circlejerk of "Tolerant Left attacking Biological Women again!"
I did a google search and I heard charges were filed, but no one actually covered the attack... So I just assumed it was fake news or something, only now am I getting more details
It was a fucking handshake? And not even from a transgender person from what I understand?
The Right Wing is pathetic, they claim us as "Professional Victims", and do shit like this.
"How dare you report the exact words I said!"
Welcome to the new America.
"Watch your backs?" So she's gonna go tattle to the Orange Idiot. Cool.
Sounds like a threat to me. When is she going to be arrested for terrorist threats like that woman the other day for the phone call with United Health Care.
For context, when someone says "Deny, Delay, Depose" they are arrested for terrorism.
Nah, she's got big "crazy gun lady" energy.
She assaulted me directly, and since my wrist is in an ace wrap, obviously it was a savage attack.
Why isn't she being arrested on my word alone?
Oh right, because we live in completely different worlds where the rich and politicians get extremely preferential treatment up to and including literal fucking treason without repercussions.
Great fucking job, worst Carolina.
I don't know, now that the other one had the Black Nazi run for office and still get a significant amount of the votes, I'd say it's a toss-up.
sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will put my arm in a sling and brace so i can get on tv
