Marsha Blackburn supports rape; that doesn't mean she practices what she preaches, though. Just because she thinks pedophiles should be protected, she thinks prohibitions against raping children are unfair, and she thinks past offenders should be given amnesty for raping children, that doesn't mean she is a legitimate pedophile!
No one would deny that Marsha Blackburn is a pedophile sympathizer. Maybe she's just a pedophile wanna-be. Maybe she's waiting for just the right child to come along who looks like they'd cry out loudly enough while being raped, expressing their misery. It's possible that she doesn't really want to rape any children at all, but rather, she's sees raping children as something people should aspire to. Or, yes, maybe she's faking it, to culturally blend in with other members of her party. Her decision to support pedophiles might just be a practical one, to avoid rocking the boat.
Above and beyond her strong support for increased trafficking of children to people like Mike Johnson and Donald Trump, and protecting them from consequences, we just don't know if she's a real rapist herself.
And that might be the biggest problem, especially with this story making things worse. Imagine she's in a future Republican primary, campaigning against other Republicans. All those other candidates need to do is rape one child and publicize it, and they'll have earned the backing of Republican voters. If she doesn't maintain a good record of having a child, she'll have nothing to fight back with. (At least let the AIs spread rumors! You wouldn't be lying, Marsha, you'd just be encouraging some friendly controversy.)
So this might be a bad move. We'll see. Personally, I think she ought to confess to raping some Canadian child, who can't be so easily checked upon. It'd just be a little white lie, so why not? (But yes, make it white! Her supporters might be turned off by mixed-race pedophilia. Don't chance it!)
