As Mark Twain would say “Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction is expected to make sense.”

This is what happens when there is zero repercussion for lying. There's literally no reason for her to not lie or embellish. She knows her supporters and the media will back her no matter what.

Hell, CNN said we won't ever know what really happened in the Smollett case despite the fact the 2 guys who helped stage it confessed.

The only part of that statement that’s a lie is the “little” part.

So are you saying being an arshole is being a racist? Hint: This guy is an a-hole but he isn't a racist. Big difference. Blacks are ruining the term racist as are you by even associating it with being an a-hole.

I wonder if he's intelligent enough to realize that his anti-Trump rhetoric stems from him falling for the same schtick that all the #justiceforerica people are clamoring for.

1.Tell lie or redact information from a quote and blast it on internet blaming white/light skinned individual(s).
2.Let MSM and social media do it's thing.
3.Push narrative until lie becomes "truth".
4.Profit.

That is what I am saying. Do we know how much responsibility she actually carries in her position?

I would imagine this is very embarrassing for the people that work with her. Regardless of her race or gender how does someone keep their job after something like this? Smollett was an actor so I don't think he is held to as high of a standard as this woman should be...

When you are an arshole because you are racist then sure

I was more or less stating that your post "Every white person need be fearful" is a truly ridiculous statement.

To be fair, both sides do this. The fake/fabricated quotes on Facebook are an epidemic. I think almost of them are just made up by some loser in their mom's basement.

I'd bet the bank that this woman constantly drones on about criminal justice reform yet she wants to throw this guy in jail over this

It isn't ridiculous. There have been numerous Racism Hoaxes in the past 12 months. And people are now seeing them in their everyday lives. People are being accused of racism more and more for everyday situations.

“Criminal reform” for her means “let all my constituents out to vote for me”.

Like Trudy White for judicial elections.

Two of her sponsored bills this GA session were related to the decriminalization or "second chances" of minor criminal offenses.

She also had four bills related to pregnancy...of the nine total she sponsored.

Completely agree, my premise was solely centered on this man's anti-Trump stance. I wish more people would stand up and push back, but even when they do the fabricated story is the accepted talking point to not offend the "victim".

Because she is a giant, her default is to keep stepping forward invading the space of whoever was unfortunate enough to piss her off. she kept doing this in the video on the news where he walked up and called her a liar. It is the oldest intimidation tactic on the planet.

He said she also did this at the store. She is no better than the hundreds of videos where giant, angry women wreck a Waffle House, or Denny's.

The video from Publix should be released, as well as the statement from the cashier that was right there.

Also, she says she has the receipt. Release the receipt.
