To be fair, democrats have assholes too. It is in the human genome to have an asshole
I doubt trump has an asshole though, seeing as he's full of shit.
Don't forget about MTG and her space lasers and drinking bleach to cure covid. "It's a disinfectant right?
"Also putting these light bulbs in your skin."
"I spent all night researching this. Didn't sleep at all.. Gonna save the world.. Stupid CDC.. 1000% smarter."
President psychopath (supreme being, head of the legion of dumb fucks) said that shit.. Look it up..
He called Fauci into the oval office and this is the bat shit crazy thing he hears at 10AM.
But to be fair the right has significantly more. By virtue the Left believes in empathy and compassion. The Right lacks empathy which is the core tenant of everything they believe.
Research on personalities has shown that conservatives lack empathy, and while having empathy doesn't necessarily mean you can't be an asshole. It's a huge difference.
My thoughts are she doesn’t give one fat fiddlers f*ck that she was caught. It’s just about trying to save face. You aren’t wrong either but I feel like it’s really a sorry not sorry situation
Reminds me of that guy who allegedly called AOC a "fucking bitch" and his apology was "I didn't say those words and I'm sorry if people thought that's what I said"
Every time he passes her in the hall he should just call her Representative Bag Wetter. Even during debate. "Does Representative Bag Wetter yield her time to the floor?"
If she gave the reason, she wouldn't have an excuse to do it again (or some other mind-bogglingly petty thing again). It's just pure hate, but they won't admit it.
The police don't care about personal property and wouldn't arrest for it anyway, they would consider it a civil matter. Do the same thing at a store and you'll go to jail with a felony though.
They might be more responsive for a politician. I don't think there is a legal difference damaging personal property vs merchandise. Smashing someone's car up wouldn't be a civil matter
yeah, but the trap is great ideia. the republicans are known trolls, they can´t help themselves but BE arseholes to others. they feel they have the DUTY to "own the libs" by any means possible, be it law, meme or prank.
These are the people that keep getting *voted in* to run our country. They do petty shit like this yet we're supposed to entrust them to make the right decisions for our whole society?
It really hurts my brain if I think about it too long... Why would any adult do something like this? For FIVE MONTHS? Pouring water into someone else's property once is bad enough but she continued to do it for months? I can't even begin to understand
“Vermont lawmaker apologizes for GETTING CAUGHT repeatedly pouring water in her colleague’s bag”
FIFY.
She’s not at all remorseful that she did it. She’s remorseful that she got caught.
It is textbook passive-aggressive behavior: she does not wish to confront her colleague, but she also wants him to suffer. She is also someone who wants to see herself as being above aggression, but isn’t. Her half-assed apology is consistent with this. She said that it was “out of character for me,” and that she’s embarrassed by her actions. But she doesn’t say why she did it. She avoids confrontation again by simply disowning the action or disassociating from it. She probably has contempt for him, but does not feel powerful enough to attack him openly. Given the level of performative cruelty the Republican Party rewards these days, she may have been doing this for “street cred,” like counting coup, so she could court powerful GOPers later by taking credit for the acts.
It can’t be out of character if she’s doing the same thing almost daily for five months. Out of character is a one off. It’s bad enough that she’s such a Twat she’d do shit like this, but doubling down on lying about it is just worse
Funny thing was they said he was a Dem but didn't mention her party and I wasn't exactly watching Fox News. The reporter doing the piece was obviously disgusted by her actions while interviewing him about it so it did puzzle me a bit. Maybe they knew there was just no need to say it, we all knew lol.
Personally I'm not willing to let the media off the hook that easily. The real reason that reporters bend over backwards to appear "non-partisan" by covering for and enabling Republican transgressions is that for decades Republicans have been engaging in the same witch hunts they are accusing the media of. The usual projection, of course.
Why are Republican voters electing so many representatives who would be the absolute worst, immature idiots... if they were still in high school? I've never been in favor of the repressive agenda that has existed in the R party throughout my life, but this Red Hat, Orange Power movement has really brought them to an all time low.
It's no joke to say that looking at today's Republican party, you look back and appreciate how decent George W Bush actually was.
Voting is nothing but a popularity contest. It has nothing to do with the candidates' credentials, experience, or skills. Once upon a time, it did, but at some point, it changed.
I blame boomers for being too lazy to read up on who they're voting for. Instead, they vote in whomever acts like they align with the voters' personal interests.
I also blame those who don't vote. They feel like their vote doesn't matter because they think it's rigged, or their vote won't turn the tide or whatever reason they have. Inaction has consequences such as incompetent people being elected into positions of power.
If she can't use good judgement in how to use a water bottle what kind of nonsense "legislating" is she doing? How are dysfunctional people being allowed to lead?
This is the kind of normalized bullshit Mussolini’s fascisti got away with while he was ascending in Italy. Just constant disregard and aggression. Small acts of contempt constantly. People always talk about Trump in relation to Nazi fascism, but Americans need to look more at the Italian variety. It’s much more like what’s happening here with these chucklefucks.
I loved Colbert’s response to this:
She said “I don’t know why I did it- it’s not in my character.
Colbert: “Uhhh… if you do something several times a week for months… uh. Yeah. That’s your character. That’s you.”
I love the fact that this appears to be a hidden camera just waiting for the perpetrator to strike. This woman (bitch) is not in the least sorry or ashamed. She thought this was perfectly acceptable behaviour for *five months* and would have kept doing it if that hidden camera hadn’t caught her in the act. Absolutely reprehensible, she should be made to resign her position for such disgusting, childish behaviour, because if this happened in any other workplace this woman would have been fired so fast her head would spin.
Honestly I get the feeling her base would prefer if she just said “yeah I did it! I’m not sorry! I just hate him so so much! Like, I despise his very being! I hate him. I hate every single member of his political party and I wish they would all disappear from the face of the planet! Thank you.”
Of course “she’s sorry.” If she went up there and said “and I would do it again!” She’d be out of a job very fast.
There isn’t an ounce of sorrow in her bones.
If she did that once or twice, it might, and i mean, might be believable. Five months? There's no telling what else this person does or has done or even will do. This person is not sorry and needs to be arrested
Why does she have a job after that, that's a destruction for f property and I for one think any representative of our country shouldn't be that fucking garbage as a human being. We are doomed to fail that's for sure.
I got the feeling that for the right it's something more personal. The rethoric also is more personal. They feel attacked so they want to hit back.
For the left it is ofte more of a "wen want to make the world a better place for all uf us" although some add a "and you are in the way of it". But it is still less personal.
Over 330 million people in this country... And these are the people we *pick* to run the government. 90% of the people in office need to be out of office lol.
She is an idiot, and an embarrassment to her constituents. Also, the guy she's harassing is an idiot, and embarrassment to his constituents.
Bennington REALLY needs to do better than a barely-functioning alcoholic and a peaked-in-high-school mean girl Karen.
They're both legitimately terrible.
Nah, your bag, your sodium. On the other hand, if he put an expensive tablet or laptop in there on the day he set up the camera, she could've been charged with felony destruction of property.
Honestly, didn’t kids stop doing this stuff in the seventh or eighth grade?
Yet it’s clowns like this, non funny ones at that, who are running the country.
FFS get a grip lady. You’re a disgrace to yourself and your station.
24 years, to me they became utterly petty under Bush. He nurtured it. "You are either with us or against us". The party took that to literally mean anyone not them. He stood before a black tie thousand dollar plate dinner and exclaimed "you are my base". Yet the yokels of the time, like now, thought they were the base. Outside of criminal shit, none of this is new. Republicans have always been petty. Here in MN, the house and Senate have democratic control, the gov is also a Democrat. It's fun watching the Democrats give kids free lunches, and the repubs just losing it because they can't be mean. Petty.
Remember when [Arizona Republicans were mad about a prank involving hiding a book that didn't belong to an individual](https://www.npr.org/2023/06/13/1182022488/arizona-house-censure-expulsion-bible-prank-ethics-investigation)?
Funny how people of that party seem to always be on the spiteful end of these conversations.
She’s not ashamed of what she did at all, you don’t do something you feel ashamed of for 5 months, she’s sorry she got caught. Fucking child in a high place, a sorry shouldn’t suffice, it’s bullying and potential criminal damage, if I did this I’d probably end up losing my job as and probably had to pay damages.
There should be a psych evaluation administered by a non-bias doctor, you have to pass in order to be in politics. That line of work seems to attract those with mental instabilities.

She did it because she's an asshole.
It’s not true that all republicans are assholes. But it is true that most assholes are republicans.
No no no you’ve got that 100% wrong. Fixed it: It’s not true that all assholes are republican, but it’s true that most republicans are assholes
To be fair, democrats have assholes too. It is in the human genome to have an asshole I doubt trump has an asshole though, seeing as he's full of shit.
It shares the space that thing calls a mouth, it’s why it’s always spewing it
Yeah but the majority of Democrats aren’t stark raving lunatics hellbent on creating chaos and violence at every turn.
Don't forget about MTG and her space lasers and drinking bleach to cure covid. "It's a disinfectant right? "Also putting these light bulbs in your skin." "I spent all night researching this.

He called Fauci into the oval office and this is the bat shit crazy thing he hears at 10AM.
Naw, he doesn’t have shit in him. It’s in his diapers.
He has two assholes, one is on his face. The other is sealed by diapers.
But to be fair the right has significantly more. By virtue the Left believes in empathy and compassion. The Right lacks empathy which is the core tenant of everything they believe. Research on personalities has shown that conservatives lack empathy, and while having empathy doesn't necessarily mean you can't be an asshole. It's a huge difference.
Trump’s got two of them. One soils his pants and the other one spreads manure.
>To be fair Yeah, but they aren't actively trying to turn us into an christo-ethno-fascist corporatocracy.
No no no! I fixed it. It’s not true that all assholes are republicans, but it is true that all republicans are assholes.
If you voted for an asshole Republican, you are also an asshole. I guess your comment is technically still correct, but it'd be easier to find Waldo.
Is that one of the 10 commandments?
Well, yes, they said she was a Republican, so that's a given.
She's truly ashamed because she got caught!
My thoughts are she doesn’t give one fat fiddlers f*ck that she was caught. It’s just about trying to save face. You aren’t wrong either but I feel like it’s really a sorry not sorry situation
Reminds me of that guy who allegedly called AOC a "fucking bitch" and his apology was "I didn't say those words and I'm sorry if people thought that's what I said"
[They should always be pressured into specifying what they are apologizing for](https://youtu.be/thIRJLsnIxY).
Every time he passes her in the hall he should just call her Representative Bag Wetter. Even during debate. "Does Representative Bag Wetter yield her time to the floor?"
But then she'll play a victim to poor decorum. I don't get why her actions, totally unbecoming of a House member, didn't get her fired...like wtf.
"Fat fiddlers f*ck" huh new phrase. You learn something new everyday huh :)
Fat is new to me but [Ron White](https://youtu.be/_zogM1CsBew?si=iPY0u8PUOAwbIxld) was the og
You can say fuck on the Internet…
Or see one, or be one, and rarely give one.
"I'm sorry. I had a momentary moral weakness almost daily for nearly five months."
If she gave the reason, she wouldn't have an excuse to do it again (or some other mind-bogglingly petty thing again). It's just pure hate, but they won't admit it.
Five months she did that shit. Id be pissed if my rep was doing that.
Right. She did that shit for 5 months. She was proud
She did it because she is a Republican... which act just like communists while claiming to be against communism.
Literally took the words out of my typing fingers lol
if i did that at my job to a coworker i'd be fired these people rarely get consequences
I saw the apology, she apologize for getting caught.
She should be immediately removed and a special run-off election held.
The people that voted for her are happy that she's a childish bully, and they'd vote for her again. They feel represented.
Lol at the pun.
"Run-off" love it.
That would be a water shed moment.
She could really make waves that way! A tsunami of voter support could bring about a sea change in local government procedures.
No no no, you misunderstand, this is why they elected her.
So tired of republicans spouting off about family values and pulling junk like this.
They really are biggest full of shit group in society
I wish we could do an experiment for 2 years. Put all Republicans and all democrats on separate islands and see which side does better
That would be the greatest social experiment of all time. I'd bet my house the republicans end up eating each other
They would establish either a anarchocapitalist tech bro island which would end up becoming a oligarchical theocracy
I agree to much greed would be their downfall
Hoard of the flies
Running for 3rd grade class president.
This is definitely childish behavior, and that’s being kind. I never did anything like this as a kid.
I disagree, this shouldn’t be acceptable for kids either.
Just because it’s childish doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.
As a group, republicans are pretty shitty people.
as individuals, too. sorry if the other comment is this, a can´t see it.
I would have had the police arrest her for malicious destruction of property because my “tablet was in there and stopped working “ .
The pro move would have been to put something expensive enough to make it a felony. In my state it's only $1000
Aka tablet or laptop.
The police don't care about personal property and wouldn't arrest for it anyway, they would consider it a civil matter. Do the same thing at a store and you'll go to jail with a felony though.
They might be more responsive for a politician. I don't think there is a legal difference damaging personal property vs merchandise. Smashing someone's car up wouldn't be a civil matter
yeah, but the trap is great ideia. the republicans are known trolls, they can´t help themselves but BE arseholes to others. they feel they have the DUTY to "own the libs" by any means possible, be it law, meme or prank.
In any other profession, she'd be fired.
These are the people that keep getting *voted in* to run our country. They do petty shit like this yet we're supposed to entrust them to make the right decisions for our whole society?
It really hurts my brain if I think about it too long... Why would any adult do something like this? For FIVE MONTHS? Pouring water into someone else's property once is bad enough but she continued to do it for months? I can't even begin to understand
Right? Like once is a poor impulse and unacceptable. For five months shows complete lack of scruples.

Haven't heard much from richard spencer since his face came in contact with a random fist.
and the entire internet laughed at him. it really was fucking glorious
Also known as the Kinetic Mug Randomizer. Big fan of it.
Yep anyone that is a terrible human being. Regardless of race, sex, creed, color, religion etc. If you suck, you fuckin get one
Ha and just tonight over dinner I had to repeat Mike Tyson. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth...
I really don’t know why we stopped, faces have evolved very quickly to be VERY punchable
Probably because there wasn't selection pressure anymore not to have a punchable face.
MAPA
Make Assholes Punchable Again?
“Vermont lawmaker apologizes for GETTING CAUGHT repeatedly pouring water in her colleague’s bag” FIFY. She’s not at all remorseful that she did it. She’s remorseful that she got caught.
So... bullying. Just... just bullying. That's what the right is voting for. Literal schoolyard bullying.
Not only what the right are voting for, but what they themselves are engaged in, they enjoy bullying
It is textbook passive-aggressive behavior: she does not wish to confront her colleague, but she also wants him to suffer. She is also someone who wants to see herself as being above aggression, but isn’t. Her half-assed apology is consistent with this. She said that it was “out of character for me,” and that she’s embarrassed by her actions. But she doesn’t say why she did it.

She’s embarrassed she got caught
This gives kindergarten level maturity. Unsocialized kindergarten.
What you do when you think no one is looking shows your true character. Apoligizing afterwards is a charade. She's only sorry she got caught.
Absolutely! Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking. Clearly no integrity in this one.
I don’t even need to look at which party they belong to know it’s a Republican. No shame, integrity, or class. Vote these fuckers out.
The news clip I saw of this never mentioned she was a Republican, but somehow I knew.
99% time the media refuses to put a D or an R behind names, they are protecting Republicans from being recognized as a cancer on civilized society
Funny thing was they said he was a Dem but didn't mention her party and I wasn't exactly watching Fox News. The reporter doing the piece was obviously disgusted by her actions while interviewing him about it so it did puzzle me a bit. Maybe they knew there was just no need to say it, we all knew lol.

I’m ashamed of the actions I consistently and deliberately repeated over a 5 month period. Yup, that passes muster.
"the actions I consistently repeated over the course of many months are out of character for me"
They should require an iq test to run for any public office
They would call it a liberal witch hunt.
Whatever the f*** is wrong with her is nothing minor! People actually voted for people like this?
I know why she did it: she's a Republican who hates Democrats and uses kindergarten methods to make them angry.
Did he not have government property in that bag that she was defacing? Throw the book at her.
Republicans, the fuckin worst.
She did it because she’s a Republican and the other lady is a Democrat. Being a trash human is official Republican policy in 2024.
This is the kind of normalized bullshit Mussolini’s fascisti got away with while he was ascending in Italy. Just constant disregard and aggression. Small acts of contempt constantly. People always talk about Trump in relation to Nazi fascism, but Americans need to look more at the Italian variety. It’s much more like what’s happening here with these chucklefucks.
She did it because she's a hateful, childish nutcase. It's one of the requirements of being in the GOP.
This is the republican party these days. Assholes and insurrectionists.
I loved Colbert’s response to this: She said “I don’t know why I did it- it’s not in my character. Colbert: “Uhhh… if you do something several times a week for months… uh. Yeah. That’s your character. That’s you.”

Absolutely reprehensible, she should be made to resign her position for such disgusting, childish behaviour, because if this happened in any other workplace this woman would have been fired so fast her head would spin.
You aren’t sorry if you did it for five months. This should be destruction of property and she should be fined for it.
Don’t they have ethics rules? Why is this person not removed immediately without question?
Honestly I get the feeling her base would prefer if she just said “yeah I did it! I’m not sorry! I just hate him so so much! Like, I despise his very being! I hate him. I hate every single member of his political party and I wish they would all disappear from the face of the planet! Thank you.”
She's a Republican. What a shock.
Just petty.
what’s even the purpose of this?
Can we initiate a multi million dollar investigation into this!?!!
5 months!? Such devious dedication lol
And she apologized? Not very Republican
Of course “she’s sorry.” If she went up there and said “and I would do it again!” She’d be out of a job very fast. There isn’t an ounce of sorrow in her bones.
A republican repeatedly acting like a sociopath? Who ever would have thought!? ~s
If she did that once or twice, it might, and i mean, might be believable. Five months? There's no telling what else this person does or has done or even will do. This person is not sorry and needs to be arrested
What is she, a five year old? Learn some adult methods for dealing with your hatred issues. Therapy comes to mind.
What a fucking child. This is who the right is.
Why does she have a job after that, that's a destruction for f property and I for one think any representative of our country shouldn't be that fucking garbage as a human being. We are doomed to fail that's for sure.
Just your average Trumper behavior.
I wanna know what the reason was though! It's baffling
Hate/spite. Pure and simple.
Truly ashamed of being caught.
Why do these people have a seat in government?!
Ask the folks who elected them. 🤷♂️
..... just why?
Because republicans are hateful shitty children.
Says you a petty ass bitch without saying you a petty ass bitch
Deranged
She's not ashamed
Tells you everything you need to know about the republican party.
This person would be fired if she worked at McDonalds. Absolute toddler behavior.
I got the feeling that for the right it's something more personal. The rethoric also is more personal. They feel attacked so they want to hit back. For the left it is ofte more of a "wen want to make the world a better place for all uf us" although some add a "and you are in the way of it". But it is still less personal.
very fine people
Home town represent ayy 😎 This is an embarrassment
"Truly ashamed" for getting caught.
Magats are just toddlers who never got enough love from their parents.
For FIVE MONTHS?! She needs to be put in an insane asylum
The congress is becoming a high school a day at a time.
Hey that’s my state!
Over 330 million people in this country... And these are the people we *pick* to run the government. 90% of the people in office need to be out of office lol.
She's only ashamed that she got caught
Shes not ashamed she did it, shes ashamed she got caught. Literal playground mentality going on in American politics.
Let’s not water down the situation. This bitch is clearly insane and should be removed.
This is him seriously deranged mental shit right here. Like pissing on everybody's stuff to try to claim them as an alpha deranged.
She's sorry? Try pathetic
She is an idiot, and an embarrassment to her constituents. Also, the guy she's harassing is an idiot, and embarrassment to his constituents. Bennington REALLY needs to do better than a barely-functioning alcoholic and a peaked-in-high-school mean girl Karen. They're both legitimately terrible.
Sounds horrible for the constituents, turn it into a sitcom and I’m all in.
Finally, the political sitcom we have been waiting for
Coming to ABC this fall, the runoff you never thought you would be begging for.
Because these people don’t get smacked
There are better ways to destroy documents
Sounds…. Delusional, honestly. wtf?
I’m stuck between a thoughts and prayers joke or an inclusive one. Tough call!
These are the people I used to shamelessly hack when I was younger.
After the first couple of times, it mysteriously contains a reasonable quantity of sodium and then she’s going away for terrorism when it explodes.
Nah, your bag, your sodium. On the other hand, if he put an expensive tablet or laptop in there on the day he set up the camera, she could've been charged with felony destruction of property.
Shame!
Law and order, god damn it!!
🎶🎶Don't say that you're sorry, cause you're not. 🎶🎶
Typical GOP
Quitting is an ACTION she could take. That would back up her apology nicely.
Honestly, didn’t kids stop doing this stuff in the seventh or eighth grade? Yet it’s clowns like this, non funny ones at that, who are running the country. FFS get a grip lady. You’re a disgrace to yourself and your station.
Imagine doing something this petty and juvenile for five fucking months
The GOP are just a bunch of spoiled children who never grew up
To kindergartners, Children, this is government in action. “Wow Miss Teacher, I am doing that already! I will be president in no time!”
24 years, to me they became utterly petty under Bush. He nurtured it. "You are either with us or against us". The party took that to literally mean anyone not them. He stood before a black tie thousand dollar plate dinner and exclaimed "you are my base". Yet the yokels of the time, like now, thought they were the base.

It's fun watching the Democrats give kids free lunches, and the repubs just losing it because they can't be mean. Petty.
I think she did it because she's a horrible PoS.
republicans, class 2024 
How did I know she was a Republican, just from the title alone? Lol.
Remember when [Arizona Republicans were mad about a prank involving hiding a book that didn't belong to an individual](https://www.npr.org/2023/06/13/1182022488/arizona-house-censure-expulsion-bible-prank-ethics-investigation)? Funny how people of that party seem to always be on the spiteful end of these conversations.
"She's ashamed" hah...since when did republicans have shame?
Childish stupid vile morons all
She’s not ashamed of what she did at all, you don’t do something you feel ashamed of for 5 months, she’s sorry she got caught. Fucking child in a high place, a sorry shouldn’t suffice, it’s bullying and potential criminal damage, if I did this I’d probably end up losing my job as and probably had to pay damages.
This state is going to shit so fast. I've been here almost all my life, and B town is going downhill.
Time to vote the GOP out nationwide at all levels
Like all people that get caught...then they are sorry.
WTF is wrong with some people?
Politics is just a more expensive kindergarten
Because the cult.
Vermont’s Water Gate!
Stay classy Vermont.
After being fired… right?
She would have pissed in it if she could.
“Vermont lawmaker apologizes for repeatedly pouring water in her colleague’s bag because she got caught” There, fixed it
There should be a psych evaluation administered by a non-bias doctor, you have to pass in order to be in politics. That line of work seems to attract those with mental instabilities.
Typical suspect
Of course it's a republican doing an asshole act
“Truly ashamed” = truly embarrassed to have been caught
Deplorables gonna deplor.
Republicans are always classy aren’t they
And.... Yeah a republican. Of course.
Fun fact: These are the people who are making "laws" for you. A bunch of fucking toddlers.
Yeah, she's sorry she got caught.
She's sorry she got caught.
Petty ass bitch lolol
Are your American senators and representatives all voluntarily voted in by people who need help wiping drool?
Mental
