It's always the people you most expect.
I mean, it's not, otherwise it would be much easier to keep kids safe. But I get what you mean - Republican legislator, vociferously anti-CSA, probably performatively Christian and 'pro-family values' (Meaning discriminates against anything that isn't a straight white CIS family) - you wouldn't want one of those fuckers living within a mile of a school, that's for sure.
Yet again, not a drag queen.
Got those Kenneth Copeland demon eyes.
I didn't think it was possible to look more like a demon wearing a skin suit than Kenneth Copeland, but I was wrong.
Evil people know they're evil. Guilty eyes don't lie.
It would be great if this dumbass country could come to the understanding that we have an entire party of pedophile criminals destroying everything. The evidence is overwhelming and I'm so tired of nothing being done about it.
From the Newsweek article:
Palm Beach County Clerk of Court Michael Caruso, a former Republican state legislator who previously backed the death penalty for adults convicted of sexually battering children under 12, was arrested Tuesday on five felony child sex abuse charges.
Wait I thought it was trans people and drag queens doing this? So how come it keeps ending up being republicans and priests?
We should all be at the point where if they are a republikkkan, we should assume they are a pedophile. I mean, they keep electing them so they're obviously fine with that shit. If they don't want to be thought of as child-rapists, then maybe they should have to prove it.
Won't somebody think of the children!? Eeeeew not like that!
If this is why Republicans are always thinking of the children, maybe they should think about them less.
Someone should look into this
"No way to screen these people from positions of power," says the only nation where this routinely happens.
You know how easy it is to not be a child molester? And yet, it is story after story of these weirdos popping up with this affiliation.
He looks like he has slitted snake eyes.
Group of pedophiles
Someone told him that gay people exist, and this was the result.
The tragic downfall of another good, American patriot. 😞
His actual, stated defense was that sexual deviancy is directed at only one sex, and since he is attracted to women (while the victim was a boy) he can't possibly be a sexual abuser. We've actually finally hit something that is so illogical even Republicans can't support it.
Why does this dudes eyes looks like a cat? ...creepy.
A pedophile with the eyes of a cat! Does anyone know if this guy knows karate?
What, no way, how unexpected.
When you’re on Team Evil, you have to know that any potential new teammates are gonna be suss, right? Evil attracts evil. Yet they still appoint them. 🤦♂️
Dude looks like a god dam lizard man
So what's his drag queen name?
