Republican state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, a lead author of Texas' abortion ban, has admitted to having a decades-long affair with former exotic dancer Alex Grace starting when she was 18—and Grace is claiming that he even paid for "several" abortions.
Makes total sense - for Texas.
Is someone actually surprised by this??
Come on people... each time REPUGS want to ban something... you know they're guilty as hell for doing what they want to ban...
So predictable.
I wish ALL mistresses, toy boys & professional escorts would out these hypocrites. There'd be folks in D.C. running down the corridors of The Capitol yelling "Make it stop!"
Do as I say, not as I do
Not very pro-life of him. Guess it only matters for him
Does it surprise anyone that yet another Republican wants to tell others how to live, yet doesn’t feel that it applies to him?
Oh! I am shocked!
Let me put on my shocked face.
To be fair, all Texas GOP think the laws apply to everyone, BUT them.
It is not a coincidence that republicans tend to be awful people in general
How about those "Family Values". He's scum.
Gross
Where there's right wingers there's lies and hypocrisy. They want laws that apply to those they hate. Never to themselves.
Such hypocrites...
Fuckin’ floored I tell ya….
GOP abandoned morals for power, long ago.
"Rules for thee. Not for me".
Of course he did
Typical scumbag!
Or their daughters. But they mostly have the money to let them fly to a nice and clean private clinic somewhere in Europe. In a private jet or at least in business class.
Right on.
Wherever you find a fervent campaigner against abortion you'll also find someone with a sordid secret they're trying to keep hidden. Now do #Trump
HYPOCRISY AND THE GOP WALK HAND IN HAND 🤬🤬🤬
I believe the exotic dancer over a politician any day
You didn't even have to put "Texas" in the lede and I knew exactly what state this would be.
Surprising absolutely no one. What bewilders me is the lack of self-awareness among Republican politicians who do shit like this. It's such a stereotype but an accurate one - the conservative who pushes for morality but has skeletons in the closet. How do they keep thinking they'll get away with it?
This isn’t about them being moral. Anti-abortion is a means of controlling women. As for being caught? They just repent, showing how they were flawed and how god has saved him.
Wow! Surprising! * * not at all surprising
several... both tooo stupid to contracept? aha.
She came out 24 hours before the whole thing dropped. On TikTok. I saw the video and was so confused like “who huh” but NOW with this context…🫣um…wow?!
Won’t bother Texas voters at all
GOP = hypocrites
I wonder how many Trump has paid for.
Republicans are such hypocrites!!!!
Every accusation is a confession.
Christian conservative and family values and all
Well, I mean, at least he's admitting it? I believe that's step one of the process.
These people make me sick.
REPUBLICANS ARE THE BIGGEST FUCKINGGGG HYPOCRITES.
somewhat awkward, but very on-brand for a MAGGOT.
Not surprising that a Republican paid for abortions for his sex worker mistress
I am shocked...
Who could have guessed a Texas Republiclown politician could be such a slimy, two-faced, and unprincipled POS? (Besides everyone who is not themselves a slimy, two-faced, unprincipled Republiclown POS, I mean?) 😒🤦♂️
NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knock me over with a feather
Water is wet.
Every goddamn time, I swear... 🙄
I'm shocked and stunned! That'll be the end of his political career within the GOP. (yes of course I'm being sarcastic)
Do you mean erotic rather than exotic? Is it sexual or a bit fancifully foreign?
Obviously the rep is an asshole, but I gotta ask: didn't she use birth control? I mean, come on! No one gets pregnant that often by accident if they are.
For no particular reason he emphasized the affair started when she was eighteen.
And hopefully...the walls start tumbling down...
Absolutely no one saw that coming
Yep. The hypocrisy right there.
Arrepentidos los quiere el Señor 😇... ... Porque otra cosa sería la tradicional hipocresía de la ultraderecha en cuestiones morales 🤔
Not surprised, the GQP appears to be a pedophile cult
Why doesn’t this surprise me, with most republicans in government positions, just scratch the surface a little and out flows lying, cheating and corruption
How GOP is that (1000%)
Asking for a friend: Why did she wait until now to out this guy?
I’m guessing he figured she was getting “too old,” dumped her, and now comes payback time.
Not sure about the weird still frame choice for that lady.
So, an early-stage pregnancy is only an actual life … if it's not theirs. So, abortion is only murder … if it's not a Republican's mistress. I'm sure their God is cool with this. He seems chill. Carry on. -- -- One more thing: This is how you know you are being played #christians
Every accusation, indeed every law Republicans propose is an admission of guilt.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
How on point for the GOP.
Typical Republican behavior. Scream the loudest against something you yourself are guilty of. #hypocrites
Of course.
And the Hypocrisy continues
Another republican hypocrite, what a shock...
His hypocrisy isn’t surprising.
We might as well investigate every pro-abortion ban advocate, especially if they're male.
Pullout game weak
Is anyone shocked by this? We've always known that abortion is available to the rich and powerful. Always.
Nothing says "devout christian lawmaker and protector of family values" like not using condoms, knocking your exotic dancer mistress up then going home to your wife after paying for your mistress' abortion.
Wonder what Mrs. Capriglione had to say about Mr Capriglione’s “goomah”?? Come on Mrs C, all the fellas on the Sopranos had one! Your boy is against abortions*. *excluding any goomah’s I impregnate. Just another stand-up guy in the Guardian Of Pedophile party. Now, his finances s/b investigated!
