A Missouri lawmaker was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that she falsely advertised amniotic fluid as a stem cell treatment and “a potential cure for COVID-19 patients.”
The honesty bar for Republican lawmakers is sooooo low.
Just checking in to see if she was an R.
I wasn’t disappointed.
I guess the R stands for reprehensible.
Yip, just checking myself.
Or replaceable.
State Rep. Patricia “Tricia” Ashton Derges ( R )
The ( R ) was never in question…
Viewed at any scale, the GOP is fraudulent.
"A Missouri lawmaker was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that she falsely advertised amniotic fluid as a stem cell treatment and ‘a potential cure for COVID-19 patients’.”
“The Adrenochrome calls are coming from inside the GOP House!”
So a physician’s assistant whose job is to lighten the load of real doctors by doing what’s obvious when a person has a cold or a sprained thumb is whipping up miracle cures. Cool cool. $191K is a lot of magic beans sold. My plea to the country I have to love, the way people love the screwed-up parents they were unfortunate enough to be born to: SMARTEN THE FUCK UP. Use your god-damned heads, at least in matters of literal life and death.
NEVER trust a Republican politician.
There must have been a shit ton of snake oil salesmen back in the day.
the “stem cell” treatment the Missouri Republican was advertising was acellular amniotic fluid purchased from the University of Utah. The fluid “did not contain any cells…”
So, the phony cure was phony.
This woman’s brain must have had a close encounter of the Vegematic kind.
I’m pretty sure it was crinkle cut or diced.
Selling snake oil never gets old I guess. Amniotic fluid won’t “cure” anything. And what she dealt didn’t even have the cells she promised. I hope her grifting did not cost lives.
Another Republican lands in the “You can’t make this stuff up” basket of deplorables.
Fully half our population falls below an IQ of 100 in a bell shaped curve which means there are a whole lotta rubes to grift … potentially. And not only that … many have driver’s licenses and are on the road driving vehicles in excess of 4000 pounds each. They don’t stop on a dime once moving at speed. That’s just a passing thought I’ll leave ya with.
Is it a surprise that she’s a Republican?
Asking for a friend…
Wait a minute this happened before she got elected. She’s just a bad one.
Interestingly enough she represents Nixa, MO., which is between Springfield (bible belt of MO), and Branson. South of Branson is Blue Eye where Jim Bakker has been hanging his hat.
Gee, I wonder what the odds are that she runs for reelection on the “deep state” attacking her with lies when she was saving people with God’s magic juice instead of the evil vaccines…and, I wonder how many people would vote for her based on that. Actually, I shudder to think how close she would come to winning…
