To be more pointed than logicprog, Raichik just lies a lot. Example from the article: Libs of TikTok’s post said it happened “in front of children.” Anthony said no children were present.

I looked this up. Raichik's tweet links to a blog post. The first paragraph ends with "And kids were reportedly present."

Further down, there are pictures of the event with the caption:

> Feel free to take a look at other photos from the drag show fundraiser, where at least one child is pictured.

Based on this, I don't think it's a slam-dunk case of her lying. It's possible that a child was present at some point but not for the spanking.

Interesting that you immediately just assumed it's Raichik lying rather than Anthony, who is a politician after all.

Yeah because she has an extensive history of taking things completely out of context, distorting them, and outright lying about them, as well as a stated belief that clear people and organizations are inherently groomers regardless of the context or evidence, like when she accused the Trevor Project of Grooming kids. So even by her own admission she would call things grooming that no reasonable person would, so if we are presented with a case where she is calling something grooming and other people are saying that it isn't, it would be directly in line with everything she's said in the past for it to not be.

Stop trusting MSM, you seem to be regurgitating their talking points.

It should be noted that this refers to a mayor being spanked by a drag queen at a public event.

To many, myself included, the absence of children does not erase the absurdity and degeneracy of this stunt. It's still unacceptable. If children were present, it ought to have been criminal.

So who do you vote for?

Hasn't pretty much every republican been caught doing drag in high school?

Edit: it’s always either school spirit week or Halloween

I agree there is no fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans. It's a disgrace.

The last time our people won an election was in the 30s. It's looking like the next time will be too.

That is simply “he said, she said”.

One person is lying, but we don’t know which.

Yeah, that's disingenuous. See my comment above in response to someone saying the exact same thing.
