In what is highly reminiscent of the Jussie Smollett / Bubba Wallace fake hate crimes, Senator Scott Weiner claims that MAGA supporters are sending him hate-fueled messages.
Wiener is the author and sponsor of SB 145, which changed existing law to be more lenient on pedophiles.
From California Globe:
SB 145 would allow a sex offender who lures a minor with the intent to commit a felony (i.e. a sex act) the ability to escape registering as a sex offender as long as the offender is within 10 years of age of the minor.
No specification is made as to whether the sexual offender is straight or LGBT.
SB 145 would add a section to the state’s penal code (Section 290.55) stipulating that as long as the offender is “not more than 10 years older than the minor,” they are not automatically mandated to register as a sex offender.
There is no age limit or range specified, except for existing law which already excludes lewd acts with children under 14.
Georgia Republican congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, called Wiener a groomer on Twitter last week, which is fair given Weiner’s record on enabling pedophiles.
Weiner, with the assistance of the propagandist outlet, CBS News, spun the tweet as “hate rhetoric” that “directly leads to violence.”
Of course, zero violence against Weiner materialized as a result of Greene’s tweet.
That… and Weiner got into an online scuffle with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, so he had no choice but to take action against himself.
There’s only one problem with these messages… they appear to have spellcheck and grammatical markings under some of the words and phrases.
You know, those markings in word processing software like Microsoft Word and Google Docs that are for the author, not the reader?
Josie, aka The Redheaded Libertarian, spotted it early Thursday morning.
Derp.
“Sweet cursor you got there,” she added.
Senator Jussie Weiner.
Weiner claimed that the message is a transcript of a voicemail, presumably to explain the spellcheck markings.
“For all the MAGA conspiracy theorists out there,” Wiener tweeted, “the threat was a voicemail. This is a transcription. But have fun spinning around with your conspiracies.”
Pull out your own phone and look at your voicemail transcriptions. There aren’t any cursors because there’s no reason to enter text on the transcript of someone else’s message.
But there’s always a cursor somewhere in the field of text you’ve entered (or spoken) yourself.
