The Falwells are not on the list for their current scandal. I am not tracking hypocrisy but those who are or abet predators. The Falwell scandal is adult and consensual and none of our business other than their the example of hypocrisy

Susan Lorincz has been charged with murdering Ajike Owens; her arrest was delayed thanks, in part, to the Stand Your Ground law that she believes gave her the right to murder Owens. So, Owens was not just murdered by Lorincz, but also by the white nationalist @ALEC_states
ALEC - the American Legislative Exchange Council is a bill mill, writing model legislation that legislators can grab off their site and introduce. Some do it without even reading the bill, which is why we see videos of state GOP reps befuddled about their own bills.
ALEC has a directory of model policies for all sorts of issues. They call themselves "nonpartisan" which is a lie. Some of the hateful, racist, laws they promoted include the Arizona, show me your papers bill that encouraged harassment of Latinos and people of color.
I am old enough to remember the Grand Jury investigation of Bill Clinton by Kenneth Starr. He and the media had this fiction that they just happened to catch him as he was taking out the garbage.
Contrast that with Jack Smith from whom we heard nothing until sharing the indictment. Also notable that Smith reminded the media about the presumption of innocence while Starr presumed guilt - even on things he ended up finding no evidence and had to drop.
The Starr investigation leaked constantly. Several people in the media have stated that Kavanaugh leaked with official approval from Ken Starr. Contrast that with reporters getting information from Smith investigation by watching who goes in and out. People didn't even know there
The death of Ashli Babbitt is a case of monumental hypocrisy and dishonesty on the part of Republicans. These are people who justified the murder of Breonna Taylor who was sleeping in her own bed by saying she deserved it because she dated a suspected drug dealer.
Meanwhile Ashli Babbitt was climbing through a broken window into the Capitol, ignoring police orders to stop. She was attempting to overthrow democracy. She was warned but ignored the warning and was shot. Not one Republican said she should have complied.
The same people who wrapped themselves in shameful blue line flags and screeched "Blue Lives Matter" as though there were a national policy of impunity for shooting police are now calling a cop a thug (he's Black) and attacking the police

Here's the white nationalist filth ALEC proposing a model law to ban Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance investing. alec.org/article/alec-i…
Here they are proposing banning secondary boycotts. The legendary lettuce boycott that helped win bargaining rights for United Farmworkers. was a secondary boycott. alec.org/model-policy/r…
My nephew has two children. When the youngest was three, despite being born female, they were obviously pretty butch, refusing to wear dresses, preferring black, brown, and navy blue, hating pastels, loving NASCAR and football, a physical daredevil. What many would call a tomboy
When they came out at 20 as lesbian, I was not surprised. They called me for advice on coming out to my sister and I said, "Sweetie, she already knows." But I expected they had more to come out with. I asked them what pronoun they prefer and they cried because they want to
transition but would be disowned, they are certain, by my nephew. I think they are right, my nephew is pretty rigid. He delighted in their interest in his interests when they were a child, but as an adult...not so much.
