WAPO: GOP members sent rape threats to Cassidy Hutchinson after her testimony

[AZJonnie]

54. This thread frustrates me, from the headline on down and throughout

If you look at the BlueSky message, the situation is that Josh Marshall is responding to an excerpt from the WaPo article that mentions 'sexually explicit texts' and he takes the liberty of translating those three words for all of us as being synonymous with 'rape threats', with no source whatsoever, just out of the blue. Then everyone here reads it and believes what Marshall has said is fact, rape threats were made. We don't know that, nor, I would wager, does Josh Marshall. Frankly it's pretty much click-bait.

The fact that there were sexually explicit texts sent her way, in that context, is already terrible (and possibly criminal) sexual harassment. We KNOW that happened, from the actual WaPo story. Is this not bad enough? With all the other horrors going on, I personally don't really need to see any hyperbole making me feel even more stressed and pissed. JMHO, fwiw, friends
