The Three G.O.P. Women Who Broke Trump’s Grip on Congress

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Today’s Republican Party is big on manliness and masculine virtues. The MAGA right in particular is forever obsessing over who is the biggest, the strongest, the most fearless among them.

This is why, watching President Trump’s fight to keep a lid on the Epstein files, I have been struck, delighted even, that among the vanishingly few Republican lawmakers with the courage to defy him have been three fire-breathing congresswomen: Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

Love ’em or hate ’em, these House troublemakers bucked their party leadership, stared down their president and made possible Tuesday’s vote to compel the administration to come clean about the web of degeneracy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. In the end, all but one Republican joined every Democrat to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This victory speaks to the value of having women’s voices, and strength, inside the Republican echo chamber, a place that can still be tough for women to navigate.

Aside from Representative Thomas Massie, the Republicans’ chief crusader for Epstein transparency, Representatives Boebert, Greene and Mace did more than the rest of their conference combined to keep the heat on Mr. Trump by signing the discharge petition to force a vote on Mr. Massie’s bill, sponsored with Ro Khanna, a Democrat. No other Republicans dared cross the president, who, in characteristic mob-boss fashion, made clear that support for the measure would be considered “hostile act.”

That’s nothing compared to what Pelosi and Kamala did to Biden.

Sir, I am unable to see the graphic on any thread you have started it with.

Heh, you may have the same issue I do where my hosted account occasionally exceeds bandwidth!

When you are a Republican, and the NYT, CNN, and The View love you...you are doing it wrong.

She is imploding as a conservative, but I have no doubt she will get re-elected in her RINO/Useful Idiot role.

Their political funerals will all be on the same day hopefully

Are you behind a VPN?

[rlmorel]

Ah, yes. That was it. All other images by other posters show up but not that one you hosted. Related to Cloudflare issue I wonder?

[vivenne]

Oh, brother. They are really trying to cause a rift.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I can see them on three different computers.

[rlmorel]

Well, that’s good then.

Old York Times pushing the anti-male narrative again.

[rlmorel]

You would almost think some of them had accounts on Free Republic!

Which the New York Times and the Democrat Party despise. And they wonder why they’re losing young men.
