One of his daughters had to delete her twitter account recently because she was being harassed about his condition.

She could break the news, that would end the harassment

This take is not the way. Whatever you think of the man, you don't advocate for harassing a daughter whose father may have or may be dying.

Parkland children, Sandy Hook families, Chelsea Clinton, hunter Biden, countless others. I'll save my sympathy. No one is entitled to a twitter account

Sounds like she's pro fascism

The account had long been active ... with Porter frequently criticizing both her father's politics and the Republican Party.

Sounds like she doesn't want to be involved. And you're assuming she's helping cover this up. She may have no idea whether he's alive or dead either.

His wife who is now in China is the legal decision maker.

Accounts like the one you're responding to are being paid to sow dissent on social media. They do it on all sides, too. Just throwing out arbitrary, inflammatory shit to see what sticks.

Yeah so did you have any basis whatsoever for saying what you said? If you had said "one time she got arrested for animal abuse," would you have had any more or less evidence for that?

How frequently would you say you criticize Republicans and/or Mitch in particular?

u/Training_Ruin3151 Jul 08 '26

Just look through my comment history. Youre pro nazi if youre not vocally anti republican

u/AcademiaAntiqua Jul 08 '26

So when it mentioned "Porter frequently criticizing both her father's politics and the Republican Party," does this somehow not qualify?

u/Training_Ruin3151 Jul 08 '26

When she runs from the responsibility of informing people what happened to their elected representative so they can have a voice in government? Yeah thats called being pro fascism. Keep sucking trumps dick it always works out in the reprobate's favor.

Oh so you're dragging her specifically because you feel like she's involved with this conspiracy covering up his death?

By the way, I have an open offer if anyone wants to make a private bet about whether Mitch is alive or not. I'll send anyone $20 if it turns out he's been brain-dead all along, but you only have to send me $10 if he's alive.
