A Tennessee Congressman warns that fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives have been lured into honeytraps with sex workers and drugs changing the way they vote, he said this week.
“If it’s women, drugs, booze, it will find you in D.C. and in most elected offices,” Rep. Tim Burchett told podcaster Benny Johnson. “That’s what people, power and influence do.”
As Burchett tells it, Republicans aren’t backing important efforts, such as Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s crusade for Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs, because they’re being bullied by big backers and Russians.
Even if it was 100% legal, we are a long fucking ways away from zero stigma to where you can tell your wife “Hey I’m going downtown for a dick in the ass / that thing you don’t want to do / two chicks at the same time. Don’t hold up dinner for me. You want me to book you an appointment with that Puerto Rican again?”
If these people are getting compromised, legalizing prostitution isn’t going to really fix it.
Right. The lure of sex or drugs, followed by the threat of exposure is enough to buy the vote of a lot of people, not just Republicans.
