Sen. Markwayne Mullin tried to blame former President Barack Obama for Jeffrey Epstein‘s 2008 plea deal, despite Obama not being president at the time.
Mullin made the comments while being interviewed by Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. First, Tapper and Mullin debated over whether the attorney general has the ability to release documents related to the Epstein investigation, with Mullin insisting that only judges have the ability to make that information public and Tapper arguing that there is additional information that Attorney General Pam Bondi could — and has promised to — release, yet she has not done so.
Then Mullin made a bizarre claim that Epstein struck a deal in Florida in 2009, under President Obama. But that is factually incorrect, as Tapper pointed out.
I’ve heard of having two first names. But two first names concatenated to make a first name? I’d say that’s new except “Markwayne” wasn’t exactly born yesterday.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a lie, the key is to repeat it.
Oh, it’s just Markwayne - the guy whose name accurately screams “I’m a dumb hick”.
Correction: sister fucking hick.
Of course it’s twofirstnames mullin. Dude is pure scum.
it’s sad how many people will just blindly believe this shit, despite all these things being explicitly documented and dated. very telling of the intelligence of the population
Guys, he was the secret president before he was the real president!
-This jackass
Denying the truth and rewriting history is tmright out of 1984. All they lack is the enforcement part where if anyone disagrees with the rewrite, they would get black bagged.
Oh, didn’t ICE just get more funding then most military
Gotta be like China to compete with China.
Soon there will be dates you cannot speak of. Children working in factories. One political party. (Problem is we don’t export anything.)
Mullin is one of the dumbest people ever elected to congress, and that’s saying something.
I sumbit for consideration the honorable Louis fucking gohmert
The bigger the hat, the bigger the dead space under it.
All hat and no cattle, as we say here in Texas.
Some people say he and Boebert share a brain cell like 2 orange kittens. Only 1 can have it at a time.
As @Flow pointed out, Louis Gohmert is part of the litter too. As is John Kennedy.
Kennedy is a fucking lawyer… I can’t figure out if it’s all an act, or if he has legitimate brain damage or something.
Litters aren’t supposed to have this many orange cats, but when you’re led by an orange painted object raised on lead paint, I suppose the litter could be all kinds of weird
Are we also ignoring that the AG that have Epstein the plea deal was Secretary of Labor under trump?
Alex can acosta deez nuts in his mouth!
Something about a special tree and its own need for fertilization…
His idiot redneck parents couldn’t decide on Mark or Wayne. The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Fkn hillbillies.
Hey, Americans? Every day these people and their supporters feel safe leaving their homes is a day you’ve fuckin’ failed.
That’s just unrealistic.
It’d take some kind of constitutionally guaranteed right to bear arms and something about well regulating a militia. Probably framed in terms of security of the union or something.
Then maybe these fascists might be kept in check.
That’s kind of unfair to people in blue states. Are they supposed to travel to other states where they are not residents and confront politicians elected in elections in which they could not vote?
Just block that poster. Just purposefully stirring as much shit as possible.
I have to assume there is plenty of trash in blue states.
Tough guy here
Soft guy here
Doesn’t change that he’s right.
Please enlighten the class on how that would be achieved in a country of this size and population in a way that yelling at a couple dozen people on Lemmy would fix
how that would be achieved in a country of this size
That’s why the civil war never happened. The country was too big for them to travel anywhere. And everyone was too scared that they would lose the comforts they did have, to risk changing anything for other people…
Yes @grue@lemmy.world is yelling SO loud. OW!
#5 guy here
I’ll have a bacon burger and fries, please.
That hat sure makes him look extra brokeback.
Look at the little guy and his little hat. Precious.
“All hat, no cattle”
What a fucking embarrassment. Christ.
Yeah… but that’s why they hate higher education. These morons have so much money, and they’re still stupid AF.
They’re not trying to convince themselves.
You thought he was a man, but he was a Mullin…
Do you know the Mullin man?
Is he a man?
Or is he a Mullin?
If he’s a man, then he’s a Mullin of a man.
