Typical Texas ratf*ck

ðŸš¨Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, who wrote the law banning abortion and built his brand on moral clarity, now faces scandal over a 17-year affair and allegations he funded abortions. He admits the affair but denies ever paying for the procedures.

“In one of the interview's most explosive claims, Grace described becoming uncomfortable when Capriglione mentioned wanting to ejaculate into batter for cookies that would be sold at his daughter's bake sale. In the video interview, Grace stated that Capriglione said he enjoyed the thought of children — particularly young girls — consuming his semen.”

Anti abortion while their mistresses get them. Accusing others of grooming while molesting children and claiming Maxwell is the victim. Posting the Ten Commandments at school while watching porn on their government’s computer. Complain of waste, fraud, and abuse, but excuse Trump’s golf outings, his plane from Qatar, and his crypto grift.

Every accusation is a confession.

But have we considered his supporters and voters? They're to blame for electing him. Here's to hoping they decide to make better choices next time.

Anyone calling for his ouster? I won't hold my breath
