This is what women on the right say about another woman who was gang raped. These are the same people our current Dem leadership thinks should be allowed to participate in normal society after we wrest control from the psychos.

The obvous conclusion from that New York Times story about Karoline Leavitt is that the Times doesn't mind being lied to by taxpayer-funded "public servants." The Times doesn't even think it's newsworthy that the public is being lied to.

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?
CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION
 
Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.
 
The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.
