    Can you imagine having to be naked in a room with him?

    Frankly she’s a traitor in my opinion. She could have set up a video camera and crushed him while he was alive. But she didn’t. Yet another selfish American.

      She was a college student doing sex work, he wasn’t introduced to her by name and title. She says she didn’t recognize him until later and I have no reason to disbelieve her.

      Plus, if you bother to read the article, she has been trying to speak out about this for over a decade.

      Because this is not the first time I’ve actually talked about this. I’ve talked about this at least five or six times over the last 11 years. And every other time that I have tried to bring it up, I’ve either been silenced, shut down or no one really takes it seriously and they just think I’m lying or I’m making something up. But now that the late senator has passed away, it’s like now everyone cares.

      Being that ready to throw a trans woman under the bus based on a bunch of shit you imagined isn’t a great look.

        You’ve invented a scenario that includes me that is not reality. Blocking you. Tagging as maga.

          Lmao. Whatever makes you feel better. Would like to know how calling someone a traitor doesn’t involve throwing them under the bus, how criticizing you for making shit up is MAGA, or why you need to tag someone you blocked, but I guess someone else will have to do it.

      Victim blaming is so in right now.

      She did say she didn’t know who he was until later when she saw him on TV.

      But sex workers, especially Trans workers I imagine, get a lot of hate from all sides so they might just be used to that.
