Another sex obsessed rightist pedophile speaks.
There�s a long, disgusting history of right-wingers defending child
predators
As conservative lawmakers and members of the media baselessly label LGBTQ people and their allies as �groomers,� they have invited scrutiny of some
of their own behavior toward children � and their embrace of people found
to have sexually abused kids.
Unfortunately for right-wingers, the internet is widely accessible. On
Monday, progressive media watchdog Media Matters released a thorough
timeline highlighting conservative media personalities defending child molesters and promoting the sexualization of children � and, in many cases, audio and video footage is included as evidence.
The report features several figures you�re likely to know if you�ve been following coverage of right-wing extremism in recent years. For example,
Media Matters shared audio of fired Fox News host Tucker Carlson on a shock-jock radio show defending statutory rape and making perverted
comments about girls sexually experimenting at boarding school.
Avowed white nationalist Nick Fuentes made the list for claiming he�s �not against grooming� children as long as they�re being groomed for marriage.
And podcaster Matt Walsh made the list after downplaying sexual abuse in
the Catholic Church as �not a pedophile scandal.�
The Media Matters report also includes Ian Miles Cheong, a popular Twitter
user on the right who has been known to attack LGBTQ people with �groomer� claims. In since-deleted tweets, Cheong repeatedly said the age of consent
is too high.
And Media Matters also noted that Turning Point USA, a right-wing
organization run by Charlie Kirk, has collaborated with multiple convicted
sex offenders for some of its events. I recently covered one of those collaborations for The ReidOut Blog.
If your least-favorite conservative commentator isn�t on my abridged list
here, don�t fret: Head over to Media Matters for the complete roundup.
You may even want to print out a copy to keep in your wallet, so that the
next time a conservative begins to rail against groomers, you can tell them
to save their breath and look inward. Because you brought receipts.
