A secret recording released Friday shows that three Republican officials sought to frame the county’s Republican chairman for a falsified ad they put together smearing then-mayoral candidate Brandon Whipple.

The fake ad, launched on Facebook and YouTube about two weeks before the November mayoral election, used paid actresses posing as legislative interns to falsely accuse Whipple of sexual harassment when he was a state representative.

One of those actresses told The Eagle she was paid $50 to read the script and told it would be used in a public-service message denouncing violence against women.

<IRONY ALERT> The script lifted accusations from a Kansas City Star/Wichita Eagle story about alleged Statehouse harassment by Republican senators and those accusations didn’t involve Whipple.

“Two weeks ago, Snapchat videos showed Pennsylvania state Rep. Aaron Bernstine (R-New Beaver) encouraging his 5-year-old son to smoke cigars and play the “f—k, marry, kill” game. State Republicans are calling on Bernstine to resign. He apologized for his actions, but is not resigning.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Democrats have filed a formal complaint against U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for making a campaign fundraising appeal while speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill following judicial confirmation hearings.

On Thursday, the South Carolina Democratic Party said Graham “committed a crime and violated longstanding ethics rules by openly raising money for his campaign in a Federal government building while leveraging his official U.S. Senate activity.” A copy of the complaint was filed with the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics and obtained by The Associated Press.

Isn't this a crime? Who goes to jail over this?

Right? Shouldn't people be arrested for falsely misleading voters? I know ACB doesn't know the answer, but this seems cut and dry to this lay person.

This is the new Republican way: break the law and fight it in the courts for years. It's a DDoS hack on the rule of law.

Rudy Giuliani uploaded racist video to YouTube in which he's seen mocking an Asian accent

The Hunter Biden - Burisma drivel shows me how adept the GOP is at team mudwrestling. They all get in line and pitch lies as truth in perfect unison. It's pitch perfect corruption, but I gotta say that I am in awe of how they deliver their bullsh*t in perfect harmony.
