14. Smearing an opponent with the accusation of pedophilia

… is a tactic straight out of the totalitarian playbook. As noted earlier in this thread by yaesu (post#6), Rachael had a feature on this on her show yesterday (4/18). This is becoming a go-to tactic by the Q crazies to smear many Democratic nominees they are opposing. They do opposition research to find the slightest hint of suspicion, then try to tar and feather their victim with this BS.

Putin uses this tactic to assail political opponents. IMO, it makes Q nuts really slimy *holes to throw pedophile accusations around.
