It's not just that the GOP accepted the Tate brothers. They promoted and normalized these rapists Republicans made them heroes. Now Andrew and Tristan Tate have over 12 million followers on social media And the worst part is, they're just a small part of the mainstream MAGA brand
However horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.
The corruption with politicians like RFK, Jr is not monetary. It’s intellectual. He routinely lies about facts and science to support a dangerous, deadly narrative; preying on desperate people who want to believe those they’ve been told to hate are responsible for their woes MAGA at its worst
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
