QAnon influencer who accused Democrats of pedophilia was himself convicted of abusing 8-year-old boy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A filmmaker confronted QAnon influencer David Todeschini about a past child abuse conviction in clips from a new HBO Max documentary.

The belief that elite Hollywood figures and Democrats covertly run child abuse rings is one of the core claims of QAnon, the sprawling online conspiracy theory movement that Todeschini has promoted.

Soon after, Callaghan tells Todeschini that he "needs to talk" to him about something.

"On May 19, 1999, you were convicted of sexual abuse in the first degree and sodomy in the second degree of an eight-year-old boy in New Jersey," Callaghan says.

1. Are you surprised?

Let's face it, the Riech Wing MAGATs accuse us of what they are doing.

[MagickMuffin]

2. It's who they are and what they do

Same as it ever was, do the things you claim others are doing.

PROJECTION is thy name, owe up to it Q'verts!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Andrew Callaghan is also himself quite a creep.

[SergeStorms]

27. I got that feeling as I watched some of it.

I couldn't finish watching it. Seeing the same old conspiracy crazies (if you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all) is injurious to one's physical and mental health.

For the sake of my blood pressure, I changed channels.

4. It ain't just a river in Egypt

They're free and easy with accusations about others, but when confronted with their own past, suddenly everything's a big set up and they only pled guilty because they couldn't avoid a conviction in a criminal trial. Really? "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is a pretty high bar, and you only need to convince one juror on the panel that there is reasonable doubt of your guilt. Todeschini is a fraud and a nutter.

5. Sooo ... is he a former Catholic priest?

Asking for a friend.

9. where every accusation is a confession

the worst of humanity

[TheRealNorth]

14. Yup

[BadgerMom]

22. Came to say this. ⬆️

[Hugh_Lebowski]

7. I'm sorry but if you're pleading out to FIRST DEGREE accusations

They had you dead-to-rights, and you knew it.

8 years old, are you kidding me?

It's projection with most of these Q-idiots, esp. the males.

[Sky Jewels]

20. Wait, are you saying that Hillary Clinton does NOT eat babies?!

The Deep State must have gotten to you!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. Of course. That's clearly the only possible explanation ...

[ProfessorGAC]

28. I Don't Think It's A Classic Projection

I think it's more a strategic smokescreen.
There is intent to deceive others, not themselves.
Create enough noise about the issue to make people other than where they should.
It's willful.

[ecstatic]

10. None of this is surprising. Their obsession with the topic combined with accusing

others of it, without a shred of evidence, is in and of itself suspicious as hell, not to mention, disgusting. They are some sick, sick fucks.

[Initech]

11. I'm shocked, SHOCKED! Well not that shocked.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

12. File this under

Every Accusation A Confession.

[rubbersole]

15. Throw in "voter fraud" with the moral turpitude.

[republianmushroom]

13. those republican family values

[Javaman]

16. this that scream the loudest...nt

[Coventina]

17. Classic projection. n/t

[IronLionZion]

18. Qanon folks need to be investigated

for everything they are projecting onto us. This has happened too many times.

[Glaisne]

19. It's all projection and deflection with these QAnon folks

Remember, every accusation is a confession.

23. Every time you point a finger, there are three pointing back at you.

24. Gaslight. Obstruct. Project. That's what the GOP stands for.

25. Is cult reprogramming the fastest growing job field in America?

If not, why not?

[SergeStorms]

26. I watched some of it.

The documentary spends an awful lot of time interviewing Trumpers, conspiracy nuts, and of course, there are the obligatory clips of The Big Orange Pig.

I've seen waaaaaaaaaay too much of these people over the past two years (7 years of Trump) and couldn't finish watching it.

I believe the human brain can only accept a limited amount of stupidity before you, yourself, become hopelessly stupid.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. There was a bit of bothsiderism in it.

The difference is most of us would condemn the excesses of the leftist protesters. Conservatives would be fine with all the MAGA incitement.

[Genki Hikari]

29. Isn't this an old story?

I thought another outlet revealed this, and the creep threatened to sue them for revealing his scumbag past?

Except there was one glaring problem--he's a registered Class 3 sex offender.

Ah--found the original story on Right Wing Watch, from October of last year:

https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/this-qanon-influencer-accuses-democrats-of-being-pedophiles-he-hides-his-own-conviction-with-an-alias/

Rather obvious when comparing the picture in the article with the scumbag's sex offender registry pictures that it's the same guy.

30. And once again....

Right on schedule...
