I’m guessing a retweet isn’t likely to carry as serious legal ramifications as if she had been the one to upload the video, but still. What a piece of human garbage.

Posting or re-tweeting sexually-explicit images where children can see them? Whelp, I guess the right-wing neocons don’t actually care about the children, or Christian wholesome family goodness yadda yadda.

The same party that wants to keep school kids from seeing Michelangelo’s David because it’s pornographic and passed laws in several states requiring “proof-of-age” (aka registering your ID) to view porn online has no problem with revenge porn when it benefits them politically (and of course has a leader who had an extra-marital affair with a porn star). The hypocrisy appears to have no limits.

Piece of human garbage. Trump supporter. Same thing.

Arizona law classifies the non-consensual sharing of explicit images—commonly dubbed “revenge porn”—as a criminal act.
…
Violating this law is considered a Class 4 felony in Arizona, carrying a potential 1 to 4-year prison sentence for first-time offenders.

“Rules for thee and not for me”

Every GQP’s representative assumption.

But it should be.
If torrenting a portion of a copyrighted movie carries just as much penalty as sharing the entire thing, then a retweet should be just as serious as initially posting it.
It was a conscious act on her part to put the image out there to her followers, regardless of whether she created the original or not.

“[Rogers] didn’t realize those images were in that video until it was brought to her attention, and she immediately removed the video from her feed.”

You know, just shoot your shot without even aiming or worrying about whether you’ve got the right ammunition.

Legal jeopardy shmegal shmeopardy. I’ll believe it when I see an inditement. From what I can see the GOP mostly operates in a state of legal immunity.

[zeiche]

it is an issue if you are a democrat.

Key word:
potential.
If she gets prosecuted & if she is found guilty, I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets probation.

Kinda surprised she’s not yowling about the Deep State hacking her Twitter account, or some such…

It’s not just the hypocrisy. He denied the affair and paid hush money. That means he’s blackmail-able. That would make him ineligible for a security clearance. How many other people are blackmailing him?
