Michigan state senator hits back at Republican who claimed she was a pedophile for supporting equali
Source: RawStory
Michigan Republican Lana Theis accused a Democratic state Senate colleague of being a pedophile because she supports LGBTQ+ equality.
Sen. Mallory McMorrow took to the Senate floor Tuesday to respond to allegations Theis made in a fundraising email saying Democrats and McMorrow are “trolls” and “groomers” that “sexualize” children. It's part of a QAnon conspiracy that Democrats are kidnapping children to drink their blood in Satanic rituals and traffick them.
One of the most notable pieces of the conspiracy was Pizzagate, in which QAnon claimed there was a trafficking ring in a DC pizza parlor. It led a man to show up with guns trying to save the children. He was shown that there was no basement in the building and no children being abused. He's now in prison for four years.
When Theis delivered a prayer last week telling God that there are “forces that desire things for them other than what their parents would have them see and hear and know.” That, she concluded was Democratic pedophiles trafficking children.
In response to the allegations on Tuesday, McMorrow said that Theis is accusing her of being a pedophile simply because she stood up to Theis' homophobic attempt to score campaign cash.
"I sat on it for a while wondering why me? Then I realized... I’m the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme," tweeted McMorrow. "Because you can’t claim that you’re targeting marginalized kids in the name of 'parental rights' if another parent is standing up and saying no. So, you dehumanize and marginalize ME. You say I’m one of THEM. You say she’s a groomer, she supports pedophilia, she wants children to believe they were responsible for slavery and to feel bad about themselves because they’re white. Here’s a little background on who I really am."

WATCH: MI Dem State Senator Fights GOP Smear: 'I Will Not Let Hate Win!'
Every elected Democrat needs to take this speech, make it their own, and start fighting as hard as Sen. Mallory McMorrow did here.
By Karoli Kuns — April 19, 2022
State Senator Mallory McMorrow has had enough of Republicans' name-calling and QAnon cult behavior to raise a few bucks and cultivate hate toward anyone who disagrees with them, which is what her colleague Lana Theis tried to do when she accused McMorrow of "grooming and sexualizing children" after McMorrow pushed back on Theis' effort to diminish the LGBTQ community to raise a few bucks.
I've seen lots of speeches that are great. This one is outstanding, not only because she slam-dunks Senator Theis, but because she clearly points out that the problems lawmakers are supposed to confront are not because of trans children or gay and lesbians. ...........................
NOTE: ENTIRE SPEECH IS INCLUDED
.................I want every child to feel seen, heard, and supported, not marginalized and targeted if they are not straight, white, and Christian.
People who are different are not the reason our roads are in bad shape, or healthcare costs are too high, or teachers are leaving the profession.
We cannot let hateful people tell you otherwise to scapegoat and deflect from the fact that they’re not doing anything to fix the real issues that impact peoples lives.
I know that hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen.
And I want to be very clear right now: Call me whatever you want. I know who I am. I know what faith and service mean, and what it calls for in this moment.
We will not let hate win.
She is impressive!
It is so frustrating that this is the Putin/rethuglcan standard playbook. But rethugs are the people who continually get caught at it.
