Since Brie Brie finally decided to break her silence (by bravely issuing a 'no comment' statement at 1 AM, 2.5 wks later, available only to her Patreon subscribers) lets take a look at how she reacted to things when it was the opposite circumstances (ie. politically advantageous)
"Morality matters. A moral response to this sexual assault charge would involve admission, contrition, and penance. None of which I've seen. Alienated voters are feeling gaslit."
Here she is repeatedly shaming @soledadobrien for her 'silence.'
(Almost 3 week later, Brie still hasn't tweeted about her co-hosts allegations of course)
"Bold of you to admit that you only care about sexual assault allegations about people you disagree with politically."
🤔🤔🤔
Lord please someone check me if I ever cape hard for someone credibly accused of sexual assault just because a̶ ̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ ̶l̶a̶n̶g̶u̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶J̶e̶w̶i̶s̶h̶ ̶S̶o̶c̶i̶a̶l̶i̶s̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶i̶c̶k̶y̶ my Patreon dollars are at stake.
"Masks how your own choice to ignore the allegations was a political act...it’s also true that morality/consistency favors the left too."
"Meanwhile, ghoulishly flip flopping on rape is 👌"
It is not leftists who are exhibiting bias. They have been consistent...Corporate Dems need to ask themselves why they’d rather ignore R̶e̶a̶d̶e̶’̶s̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶i̶m̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶r̶i̶s̶k̶ ̶h̶e̶’̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶m̶i̶n̶e̶e̶ Virgil's claims than risk losing all my Patreon money.
"It's been 2.5 weeks." (Hey that number kinda sounds familiar. It would be cowardly to be silent for exactly 2.5 weeks.)
Anyway, you get the point. People like Brie Brie so utterly transparently used sexual assault as a political cudgel to attack their enemies (the Libs). They made a lot of people (particularly survivors) suffer b/c they were so craven that there was no low they wouldn't sink to.
When given the chance to prove that there was any sort of principle there, her actions have made it abundantly clear that there were none whatsoever. Just a shameless, hypocritical (gaslighting) partisan. Hope those Patreon dollars are worth it, @briebriejoy.

People ask, 'how could voters believe Dems have positions that they don't actually believe?' Well it's because the GOP bombarded them with lies about Dems and there's just not a great answer for such weaponized shamelessness. Truth just does not work.
The GOP (and its wealthy financial backers) have basically weaponized disinformation/lies to a completely unprecedent degree. And with the rise of technology are able to pump it out completely unchallenged (especially since social media outlets have completely given up).
So the NYT politics guys did a Reddit AMA several days ago. This was the top upvoted post. And then the extremely predictable (point proving) response.
And the predictably smug/condescending follow-up
Needless to say, they were heavily down-voted and deluged with (acurate) negative comments like these
#factcheck: Hamas is not keeping the hostages to rape them, they are just raping the hostages they are keeping for unrelated other reasons.
What....is even going on anymore?
I just don't understand why certain people feel the need to downplay Hamas' awfulness. It's not that hard to say that Hamas is an evil terrorist group, while also believing that innocent people do not deserve to die because of it.
Again, contra the lame "oh so you blindly trust the US govt" line from the above uhh journalists, the actual things to weigh:
Side 1- Israeli govt, US govt, every open-source analyst on this site & most importantly, the fact that the hospital was not destroyed
Side 2- Hamas' word
So yeah, I guess it's a real he-said, she-said if you just ignore everything but the competing government claims & also only pretend that the USG/Israel's 'lies' matter and not the fact that the initial claims by Hamas of the hospital being destroyed & 500-1000 dead, were a lie.
A lot of people I respect really, really showed their asses. And if they want to be able to maintain any sort of 'high ground' when it comes to journalistic integrity, really should at least make a basic statement that they got out over their skis.
And of course a lot of people who I don't really respect, but I don't expect them to ever admit they were wrong. Because that's just not what people do #onhere.
I'm not slightly 'gloating'. This entire site & almost all of the media falsely/uncritically ran with a characterization that relied solely on Hamas' word and created a major international incident. Sorry, if you don't think that deserves to be called out.
