There’s a long, disgusting history of right-wingers defending child
predators like Trump and Epstein
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.
