An Express Elevator to Hell

 

     Personally, I don't know why people are continually amazed at the new lows to which Republicans always eagerly aspire. We are left in almost admiring amazement at how Republicans exceed expectations and, against all the understood laws of human psychology, chart new, putrid depths in the human psyche. Here's a secret-

     Republicans cannot possibly hit rock bottom. They're on a perpetual express elevator to their personal spiritual Hell. Next stop, the Ninth Circle and beyond.

     By now, you no doubt have heard of that 10 year-old girl who had to leave Ohio when all abortions became illegal and go to Indiana to terminate the pregnancy. When it reached the presidential level when Joe Biden mentioned this case several times in a recent speech, that's when the right wing noise machine began winding up.

 

     Gym Jordan, a guy who's usually Johnny-on-the-Spot regarding rape allegations, came right out and said the victim's story was "another lie". The next day, the girl's alleged rapist was arrested by Columbus, Ohio police and when Jordan was confronted about it the next day, he tried to frame it as an illegal immigration issue. After deleting the tweet you see above.

 

     Ohio's AG, Dave Yost, who looks like Central Casting's idea of a big fish in a little pond in a spaghetti western, also cast aspersions on the veracity of the girl's rape when all the asshole had to do was check the police blotter of the Columbus PD six blocks from his office. Then when that agency arrested the suspect, all Yost did was congratulate them for getting the guy.

     Indiana's own AG, Todd Rokita, who seems bound and determined to surpass Jason Ravnsborg as the worst Attorney General in galactic history, went a big step beyond that. He announced he was initiating an investigation into the doctor who'd performed the abortion on the child and publicly cast doubts on the doctor's legal ethics.

     That doctor, Caitlin Bernard, M.D., also has a law firm on retainer who wasted no time in slapping Rokita with a cease and desist order advising him to stop slandering their client.

     To date, none of these Republican scum has apologized for denying the poor child's rape and impregnation. Because that's what Nazi scum do- They lie, then, when that lie is exposed, they try to frame it as something else (like Jordan) or pretend the lie was never told at all (like Jordan).

     No bottom.
