GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

Yikes! Is it something in the water? Or, inbreeding? What a callous, horrible woman, but far from the only one coming from that state. Looking at you, too, Harriet...

Raping, abusing, biting little girls and yes, some boys as well and you didn't see it as a big deal and didn't F**KING CARE!

What is wrong with you people?

No empathy, no emotion in that voice

I think she needs a sit down with a few of the victims and fast.

I didn't hear any change, I heard acknowledged reality

She's running this fall and I doubt this will cost her the election. Too many republicans want to hear the truth. By taking this stand, she won't get a lot of backlash from republican voters who've been stonewalled by their elected officials. Apparently what has come out today in Congress is pretty horrible, so it's a no-brainer to take this stand.

Rachael is on in a little over an hour. She'll have some amazing stuff to tell us.

Especially as a woman. Does she have any children? Any daughters? If these things had happened to any of them would she think it was "no big deal"?

I can hardly believe a person would admit to something so ignorant. But then again, she is a magat.

You are on the public dole and with that comes responsibility.
