This psycho has lied and flip flopped so many times now that you don't even know she's telling the truth which is sad and horrible at the same time because you're supposed to believe women when they say stuff like this.

The State Law Enforcement Division, South Carolina’s state police agency, said in a statement that its agents had opened an investigation into Bryant in December 2023 on allegations of “assault, harassment, and voyeurism.” Noting that investigation remained active and would be sent to a prosecutor for review once completed, the agency said it had “conducted multiple interviews, served multiple search warrants, and has a well-documented case file that will be available for release upon the conclusion of the case.”
Mace's yapping about it on the House floor is surely not impeding or influencing that ongoing investigation.
I thought it was clearly stated that they were not going to pursue charges so this doesnt effect anything.
Yeah I'm not believing shit that comes out of this person's mouth. Platforming her does more damage to women than ignoring this one proven liar's words.
If an elected Republican has a problem, they can figure it out themselves. That's what they've told us they want for the world. I would take absolutely no action to help these people if they were in need. Fuck em.
I am willing to believe her that it happened to her and I'm sorry about that.
I am not willing to believe that she would not be okay with it happening to other people considering she supports a rapist president.
she's a republican. unless she's reading out of the encyclopædia britannica, verbatim... she's lying.
wait. who am i kidding. that's way above their reading level.
She stated on the floor that there were pictures, if this is the case then that is easily verifiable or at least shown to be logged in (as there is underage material listed in her complaint) if this is just grand standing and using her position to gain an upper hand against a political rival then it could help lead to laws that would curb this BS 'political speech' freedoms that they abuse (in reference the idea that they can say any lie they want to as long as they say they are stumping so the voters know they would never actually do the things said).
I know someone like that, known them for close to a decade now and something recently transpired but the how and why are contested(stupid mistake or deliberate action was the question). A friend asked “aren’t we supposed to believe the victim?” and all I could say was “I wish I could.”
because you’re supposed to believe women when they say stuff like this.
Only when they ask for your protection or help with processing it. Not when it's used as a sole reason for judgement. Deontology, due process and logic.
I believe her. It doesn't change my extremely negative opinion of her, her positions, or her actions by even a single iota; but I believe her. Until proven otherwise.
She is a MAGA Republican and not that she or anyone else deserves this to happen to them, but she would absolutely suggest that other women deserved it.
She's a shit person but nobody deserves to be assaulted or raped, and allegedly there were other women and girls harmed. So a full investigation is warranted. If it's found to be true, does the pain she's experienced excuse the bitterness and hate she's expressed towards trans people? Not in the slightest. Is airing it on the House floor an appropriate use of her privilege? It's better than anything else she's done there, (a low bar) and helps delay the progress of House Republicans rubber-stamping Trump's blitzkrieg, so there's that.
She is only saying this in the House because of debate immunity.
Challenge her to repeat those statements outside the chamber, and she will clam up because then she won’t be protected against slander claims.
After going through that the fact that she supports erasing trans people is a pretty classic example of conservatives lacking empathy.
I am genuinely sorry she experienced that and I hope she can get the psych support any person in her situation would need.
And I genuinely hope she fucks off from politics because unless she does an ideological 180 she's still a trash person with hate in her heart.
If abusing women and girls, revenge porn, and date-rape are issues in South Carolina politics, this is an unqualified good thing. Sexual control of women in the household has been a core issue for reactionaries as long as there have been reactionaries. Before 1980, it was legal in all 50 to rape your wife. Diversity is strength. Even in MAGA.
The issue is this filth is saying one thing for herself while working to get rid of the protections for everyone else. Republicans have consistently neglected and acted against women for 30+ years. Forget 1980 her party is working towards 1918 and she's helping, "speaking out" is not helpful when her actions contradict it.
A republican woman cannot be raped, as the party respects a man’s right to have sex with any woman he chooses. Her allegations of rape should be ignored. She knows her place, and needs to be reprimanded for speaking out.
Let's not sink to their level and deny rape just because they do. Yes she's a hypocrite and a horrible person. That doesn't mean we need to pretend she wasn't raped even if she would be that way about other women.
Commenting on their level is important to illustrate how absurd they are.
Do you think most rape victims would appreciate you using something so incredibly traumatic to illustrate absurdity?
Nope. And hopefully understanding the reality of the Republican Party will sway them from supporting them. Republicans have very clearly shown they think women are for breeding, and have often sided with the rapist, or gone easy on them. After all, the leader of their party is a convicted ~~rapist~~ sexual abuser.
Now stop your poor attempt at empathy, we all know you’re just doing this to bully people online.
I'm sorry, but thinking it's okay to upset rape victims to earn political points does not make you any better than Republicans who also make light of rape.
Also, how the fuck does empathizing with rape victims bully anyone?
Are you seriously badmouthing the concept of empathy? Also, for the record, I empathize with rape victims because I know multiple rape victims.
Edit: for that matter, you almost certainly do too. But I can understand why they would be reluctant to to talk to you about it.
If consent is not a thing, then what are you left with?
A world how the Christian god intended it. 🤷♂️ don’t blame me, blame the Bible.
Sprinkle a little blame on DEI for good measure.
Anti-DEI, a spice for all occasions!
This comment section is a dumpster fire.
I don't see it that way at all.
This woman has no credibility at all due to her prior words and actions, and even if it were not true, giving a speech in front of the House of Representatives is not the right venue.
So what is she doing? Wasting all our time.
Which part?
