The White Rose Resistance (WRR), where Zacharia sat on the board until February, is best known for its anti-abortion disinformation, harassment campaigns against providers, and for collecting the country’s worst extremists. The group’s national outreach director AJ Hurley, for example, was charged with felony stalking of an abortion provider in San Francisco in 2022. Per his own bio, Hurley is also connected to the woman who was found with multiple fetuses in her home

    I started to consider how its possible to end up with someone this bad as press secretary.

    Is it:

    • No one with competence wants to work for this administration
    • Someone close to her bought Trump’s crypto
    • they purposely put someone who is incompetent there as a “fuck you” to the press

    All of the above?

    The death penalty isn’t even commonly applied to one-off first degree murder convictions. It normally takes some other factor such as torture or multiple killings to escalate it to death penalty.

    Even if you think abortion is murder this is detached from reality.

      They’re MAGAts; they’re unconcerned about reality, unless it’s gas prices, but they’re oddly quiet right now. I figured they’d be up in pitchforks.

      Ehhh, I kinda have to push back on this a bit here. I’m 100% on board that this lady is a wacko and monster, and that women should be able to abort as many babies as they damn well please, to be clear. It’s just that from these peoples perspective it’s a baby right? I’m pretty sure someone murdering a newborn would be treated more harshly than a typical murderer. So if we are looking at it from the weirdos perspective we have to look at it as a baby murder. Not just a normal murder. Now I might be wrong about the specifics of baby murder. I’m no lawyer. But I thought it relevant to bring up.

        There was recently a mother that killed her 3 kids, admitted to it, and was likely going to a mental institute where she would have been able to be released within months. It’s not that uncommon to hear about a college girl that kills her baby shortly after birth as a way to try to escape the reality.

        I’m not that informed on the subject but I would be very surprised if death penalty was ever given for a single instance of killing a baby. Death penalty isn’t even legal in many states although that’s a separate controversial issue.

        “Thou shalt not kill.” not “Thou shalt not kill babies”

        They are perverting tgeir own Christian commandments in their bloodlust.
