https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/gop-lawmaker-said-trans-people-harm-children-now-hes-going-to-for-child/South Carolina state Rep. RJ May (R) an anti-LGBTQ+ politician who has accused drag queens and transgender people of harming kids was sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty to five counts of distributing child sex abuse material (CSAM).
May who was honored by the anti-LGBTQ+ parents rights group Moms for Liberty in 2023 as its Legislator of the Year first denied the charges after investigators found evidence that he had shared hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds. Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, who sentenced May, said the CSAM he shared was more severe than any other she had ever seen before, WIS-TV reported.

Smellers the feller.
Where right-wingers are concerned this seems more and more to be the case. Seems like theres another one arrested every day or more. *eyeroll*

We used to jail these anti=socialist creeps. Instead, they found a home in the Republican Party. A tent of of low intelligent, social degenerates.

This is only the most recent example of malevolent abuse of children theres a very long history of others.
How morally and intellectually compromised do you have to be to keep drinking this right-wing kool-aid?! FFS.
