    I don’t know what youtuber you saw say that, but it sounds like something that the Drey Dossier might make a video about. Any chance it was them?

      It might have been. I believe I saw the video around when the Epstein votes were being done. I mostly remember the content and not the person. I remembered it was a youngish woman. But that’s the limit of my recollection of the person.

      But sounds like a few other people have noticed this trend. Another comment says it’s called “rotating villain”.

      I remember when the Republicans were voting on releasing the Epstein files there were people saying that the Republicans were rotating people who voted yays and nays because a lot of Republicans citizens were also demanding the release of the files so they had to pretend to support it.

      I think this is around when I saw the video that said Dems do something similar.

      Sorry my memory isn’t better. It’s definitely been a while since I saw it.

        Understandable. I hadn’t heard this idea before today but I will admit, whether true or not it certainly makes incredible sense.
