Typical Texas ratf*ck

🚨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.

And he thinks that staying away from the details absolves him and allows him to deny responsibility.
Disgusting hypocrite.

Guilty on the abortions
If no abortions involved he would deny the affair

“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.

…that sprang from his years of adultery!

What more proof do you need that he is a true “Family Values” Republican?

He just forced his mistress to pay for it out of her own funds. Cheap cheating bastard that he probably is.

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
