So this woman is randomly making up shit about little girls getting repeatedly raped in response to the State of the Union address. Disgusting.

Well, it’s not random. They want to blame Biden for problems at the border by telling the true story of an abuse victim from 20 years ago who never crossed the border.

This guy does a really good investigation into it and brings receipts. (I know it’s on the Artist Formally Known As Twitter, but if you’re interested, it’s a good watch.)

Unfortunately it’s a Twitter video, and the only way to download it is with a premium subscription. And that is NOT happening. Hard stop.

This doesn’t help you on a mobile device, but in case others weren’t aware of its existence, there’s a great open source tool for downloading from many/most websites: yt-dlp

It’s a video link, but basically, he ran down the visit to Texas she talked about, found out the other politicians who went with her, then found out who they met with.

Well, if the poor woman who suffered the horrible abuse starting at the age of 12, it had to have been at least 6 years ago (assuming she is an 18 y/o adult now). This places it under Trump or earlier in any event.
