Quick Note:
One of my all-time favorite senators - Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming - has had a sincere change of heart (if you can’t read between the lines, that line is written with the deepest level of sarcasm I can muster).
“I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue. I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But nine-year-old victims—” Lummis told Manríquez, expressing shock and horror at the revelation.
…
“Wow. Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating. And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong. So that’s really my only reaction,” Lummis added.
OK - a sitting Senator didn’t really care that a pedophile ring existed at the highest levels of government and business elites until she found out a 9-year old was raped.
Wyoming, which is the reddest state in the country by registration differential between the parties, sends the dumbest people to congress, and I mean that in the literal sense.
Of course, she can say this because she is retiring.
