Sen. Markwayne Mullin tried to blame former President Barack Obama for Jeffrey Epstein‘s 2008 plea deal, despite Obama not being president at the time.
Mullin made the comments while being interviewed by Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. First, Tapper and Mullin debated over whether the attorney general has the ability to release documents related to the Epstein investigation, with Mullin insisting that only judges have the ability to make that information public and Tapper arguing that there is additional information that Attorney General Pam Bondi could — and has promised to — release, yet she has not done so.
Then Mullin made a bizarre claim that Epstein struck a deal in Florida in 2009, under President Obama. But that is factually incorrect, as Tapper pointed out.
Lemmy has a much higher than average population of actual socialists, communists, and anarchists. It doesn’t blow my mind that they would oppose a neoliberal party that works exclusively for the rich.
There’s opposing the neo liberals and then there’s blatant fascist propaganda.
Like the fact that Obama used the double tap drone strike, which is unarguably a war crime because it almost always hits first responders.
That’s a true and valid criticism.
Making believe that Obama had anything to do with Epstein or that he started Bush’s recession is just shifting blame away from the fascist party and helps no one but the fascists.
Except for the fact that the only party who have taxed or regulated the rich in the last 40 years are those human rights advocates you despise so much, and the very very very few minor parties who caucus with them.
communists and anarchists have very, very little in common.
They have least one thing in common that’s relevant to this conversation - they’re not big fans of neoliberala
But a Tankie can pretend to be an Anarchist with no issue at all. They just have to advocate destroying the governing institutions in the west.
