Why the fuck would she not care that ~1000 underage girls were being raped and abused?

Because she is a republican. They don’t care about things unless it affects them personally.
Or people are having sex they don't approve of.
But in this case the sex is between one consenting adult and an underage girl, so they are fine with that.
Ironically if it was just the one adult by himself that would be a no no.

Because none of the ~1000 girls were part of their family or entourage, so they don't give a fuck.
Because the GOP is a party of grifters, liars, and criminals
Gropey Old Pedophiles; its right there in the name.
Because as long as they haven't seen the files they can make themselves believe that maybe the whole Epstein affair is speculation and grossly exaggerated and that they can't possibly be that bad. When they finally see the truth they can no longer make those mental gymnastics. It also helps that they also likely realize that the truth will get out sooner or later and don't want to be among the ones who protected those monsters.

It's about a decade late for that.

She probably saw a Democrat in the list and wants to win the next election.
And boys! Don't forget Peter Theil.

Alternate title:
Ancient GOP Senator says there is enough visibility now for it to affect her career so she is considering acknowledging and maybe at a future date having something meaningful to say about it.
That's nice but it means nothing if she doesn't do something about it. Release the files and impeach Trump. Anything less is just putting on a show to try to sway voters for the midterms.
“And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong," she added. "So that’s really my only reaction.
This her bold tactic for addressing this matter.

I like the part where she says "Now that my eyes have been opened to how severely we've all been deceived I am starting a campaign with my fellow GOP senators to see this through and prosecute every last person involved in these barbaric and evil crimes."
Wait no... I'm being told she said none of that.
Her actual final words on the subject were "And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong, so that’s really my only reaction."
I hate these people with my whole being.
Seriously. Like I have never felt so much rage before! They're shocked it exists, but despite being the very same people capable of changing fucking something, they are paralyzed by fucking facts!
Well, at least a critical thought did happen
More like she had to admit a thing she was conveniently for her career ignoring. She is a nihlist, believing in nothing. There was no conscience at work here, no appeal to justice. Just a cold calculation of positions.
Ma elections be cummin up.

It lingered there for only a moment and was quickly discarded.
"And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong," she added. "So that’s really my only reaction.
Her final words on the matter. Don't you all feel so reassured that we have TOP people on the case.
Lummis, 71, told Capitol Hill reporter Pablo Manriquez on Monday, Feb. 9, that while she previously had said, “I don’t care” about Congress’ efforts to force the release of Epstein evidence, she now believes the issue was “worth investigating.”
The cynic in me thinks she ignored pages and pages of trump named referenced crimes and saw Clinton's name at least once, so now she's wants to make political hay only against Clinton.
God does it suck that what you're saying makes so much sense.
Worst fucking timeline ever

A 71 year-old Senator who's brain failed during the last election! Retire and GTFO!
Republicans are just horrible people.
She can see that its going to be impossible to completely ignore this and has to finally admit that its pretty damning.
So there's about 3 million files and Trump appears on more than 1/3 of them? They should probably be called the Trump/Epstein files
ding! ding! ding!

Amazing how they all grow spines after announcing that they're not running for reelection.
It's almost like the only reason they vote like pieces of shit is because their party. They hold no values of their own while they're in office, and don't vote based on what their constituents want. It's solely what the party tells them to do.
I feel like the words “I don’t care” should never escape a politician’s mouth. Their entire job is to care. Why are they representing us if they don’t?
Money.
You don't care about illegal bombings of boats in the ocean, ICE's cruel treatment of immigrants and the US citizens who care about them, nor massive sexual assault against underage girls until your face is smeared in it. What do you care about? The Republican party are monsters.
Her: Ummmmm . . America! *waves flag, takes bribes*
It is probably effecting the voting numbers for her and therefore she needs to pretend again to get the sweet sweet suckers to vote for her again come next cycle.
It is probably effecting [sic] the voting numbers for her
Dude, she's a senator from Wyoming who isn't running for reelection in 2026. Did you even check before you speculated about this?
Aah, so a peaceful retirement where she can say she changed her mind so the people with pitchforks and torches don’t camp out the residence.

She can tell the truth because she isn't running for reelection.
What a CUNT
See, that's why they redact the shit, so they can skirt responsibility. It's sad it took this long for people to open their eyes, but at least it seems to be starting to happen?
