Dear World,
Behold the President of the United States. He is a demented sick old man who is a lunatic.
Please forgive our country. Most of us did not vote for him. He paid Elon Musk to rig the election so he’d win. And now, we all have to suffer his rotten meanness. We are so sorry.

Wouldn't it be swell if Nancy Mace defended women from rapists and sex traffickers in her own party as fiercely as she is defending the Capitol bathroom?
