Trump pardons pedophiles. He's on pedophile Epstein's list
thousands of
times.


At least 188 Christian & Republican leaders have been
accused of child
abuse this year

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 u managing editor of the catty and
left-leaning
political website, Wonkette u 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! "


GOP lawmaker said trans people "harm" children. He just pled
guilty to
child porn charges.

Hurst's lists u which can be viewed here, here, and here u
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.

"Conservative Christian leaders are such prolific groomers
and abusers of
kids, the news is so full of these stories, they are
published in such a
rapid-fire manner, that if you let it go ANY MORE THAN A
MONTH, then it
will take you hours and hours and hours and days and weeks
to compile an
update, " Hurst wrote in his most recent update.

"If you are tracking drag queens or trans people or just
LGBTQ+ people
abusing children, you can take sabbaticals to Europe as
often as you
f**kin' want, " Hurst added, "because those stories just
don't happen much,
despite the lies vile MAGA Christians tell. "

Hurst notes that, according to Trump's new National Security
Directive
(NSPM-7) for "countering domestic terrorism and organized
political
violence, " both "anti-Christianity" and "hostility towards
those who hold
traditional American views on religion" are listed as
sentiments that can
indicate one's inclination to become a full-fledged
"antifa" terrorist. (In
reality, anti-fascists are a decentralized political
philosophy, and right-
wingers commit political violence far more than left-
wingers. )

As such, Hurst wondered, "Is it 'anti-Christian extremism'
or 'hostility to
traditional American values' ... to tell the truth about who
is really
sexually abusing children in this country, and how more
often than not it's
conservative Christian religious leaders? "
