One thing we lefties all realize is that the best way to figure out what crimes Republicans are committing is to see what they are accusing Democrats of doing. For instance, while they accuse Democrats of stealing elections, it is Republicans that are being convicted of voter fraud and Republicans that are suppressing the vote and gerrymandering the majority out of a say in how they are governed. Sometimes the hypocrisy is stunning, as we see Gym Jordan mewling about people ducking subpoenas even though he himself refused to comply with one.

But it’s often the case that Republicans attack others besides Democrats for things they themselves are doing. It’s almost as if they are compelled to magnify their hypocrisy. Latest example, but one of many, is the Tennessee Lieutenant Governor:

The 79-year-old East Tennessee Republican — who has presided over a legislative session defined by bills outlawing drag shows in public places and targeting gender care for the trans community — found himself facing accusations of hypocrisy after a progressive site, the Tennessee Holler, unearthed his social media interactions with a 20-year-old gay model.

Seems he “liked” the fact that the model was also a male prostitute who liked to smoke dope.

Or there’s this guy who, to be honest, I am assuming is a Republican, who spray painted the word “Groomers” on libraries who is now charged with seven counts of possessing child sex abuse materials. As the linked article points out, he’s not alone in accusing others of what he himself was doing:

In December, John Amato reported that QAnon leader Phil Godlewski, who made a fortune highlighting conspiracy theories about secret pedophile rings at pizza places outed himself as having an inappropriate relationship with a minor. Godlewski groomed a child. I’m starting to see a pattern here.I’m sure there are Democrats who engage in this sort of stuff, but I’ve yet to hear of one who has made a point of accusing others of doing so. One would think that one who is engaging in this sort of stuff would just keep their mouths shut when the topic comes up, but that’s not the Republican way. Another good example, lying liar George Santos actually had the nerve to tweet out that Joe Biden is a pathological liar. It’s almost as if every time they attack they are actually confessing.
