"If you are tracking drag queens or trans people or just LGBTQ+ people abusing children ... those stories just don’t happen much."

Anti-LGBTQ+ conservatives have long crowed about how queer adults, drag queens, and their allies have been “grooming” and “sexualizing” children for abuse. Notably, these concern-trolls ignore all the child abuse scandals regularly coming out of the Republican party and the Christian church.

But journalist Evan Hurst — managing editor of the catty and left-leaning political website, Wonkette — has been keeping an ongoing list of Christian and Republican leaders who have been caught, accused, sued, or convicted for abusing and/or exploiting kids. Hurst has identified 188 Christian and Republican leaders this year, so far, stating, “If MAGA is so upset about Epstein, they should hear about Baptists!”

Hurst’s lists — which can be viewed here, here, and here — all link to local reports of church and GOP leaders being accused of abusing kids. His most recent update, published on Halloween, featured 49 new names of accused child abusers and pedophiles.

In fact, Hurst is having such a hard time keeping up with updates that he has asked for donors and subscribers to aid in his continuing efforts.

"Don't look at ME---- Look Over THERE!!"

Democrats ought to USE THIS ISSUE for the campaign against Republicans---
just as Republicans use "made-up" stories against US!!!

(Except the TRUTH would be on OUR side, with documentation, in this instance!)

About time for Democrats to "take an atomic bomb to a knife-fight"!

2. Well, if you are dead-set upon taking the Bible literally, then obviously

brothers and sisters and fathers and daughters had to be having sex together
to begin populating the planet, since there was ONLY Adam and Eve to begin with....

and so some "christians" in their twisted beliefs think that this is ALSO OK TODAY,
since 'God' must not have had any problem with it, in the beginning.....


YES, it is most certainly MISDIRECTION!

Simple rule about links: everything after (and including) the question mark character is tracking information to tell the site's server where the traffic came from, and is not needed for the link to work.
