Rightists are obsessed with gender politics because they love raping

Big Week for MAGA Influencers & Republicans Accused of Child Sexual Abuse & Soliciting Minors
Despite the rights obsession with smearing LGBTQ people as groomers, not
only is child sexual abuse overwhelmingly perpetrated by straight, cis men,
but sometimes, its perpetrated by prominent conservatives.

Big Week for MAGA Influencers & Republicans Accused of Child Sexual Abuse & Soliciting Minors
If I had a nickel for each time a right-wing influencer or Trumpian
political figure got busted for child sexual abuse, this week alone, I
would have raked in a whopping $0.15. Which is a lot of money when you
factor in how the right has oriented its entire brand of politics around framing Democrats and LGBTQ people as groomers and child sexual abusers.
The irony, of course, is that not only is sexual abuse overwhelmingly perpetrated by straight, cis men, but often enough, its perpetrated by prominent conservatives. This week, a GOP state senator in Minnesota was
forced to resign after soliciting sex from a minor; a popular MAGA
influencer in California was taken into custody on charges of sexually assaulting a minor and producing child sexual abuse material; and Donald
Trumps former spiritual adviser and the former pastor of a Texas megachurch surrendered to Oklahoma authorities, also on charges of child sexual abuse.
(As a little reminder: Trump himself is a legally recognized sexual abuser
and serially accused rapist. )

All of this took place between Monday and Thursday. Of course, you wouldnt glean any of it from the viral far-right accounts like LibsOfTikTok who
built their platforms peddling baseless lies and manipulative content
claiming everyday queer people are predators, doxxing them, and inciting harassment and violent threats against them.
On Thursday, now-former Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn (R) tendered
his resignation letter to the legislature and Gov. Tim Walz (D) after
facing a federal criminal charge accusing him of soliciting sex from
someone he thought was 17who turned out to be an undercover cop. Eichorn stepped down after his entire caucus threatened to expel him with
Democratic support on Wednesday. In a joint statement, the state Senate DFL called the details of the allegations against Eichorn horrifying.
The safety of the interns who come here to work and learn, the safety and security of the staff who put their days in here were incompatible with the predatory nature of Mr. Eichorns behavior as reported in the criminal complaint, Sen. Erin Murphy (D) told CBS News.
