Things like this seem like a big neon arrow blinking over their head saying "investigate me!", yet nobody ever does. Or we wait till so many years have gone by that "it's water under the bridge now - no sense digging up the past".

We’ll just have to investigate when he’s retired and 87, fine him after he dies, and call it Justice.

The far right has one thing right- child sex trafficking is a thing and it’s disgusting. This is the issue we should all agree on. Hunt down and jail the pedophiles and the traffickers that enable it.

Have we fallen so far that we can’t agree on this very clear and non-partisan goal? Protect children from these demons in human form.

The far right thinks the child sex traffickers are all Jewish and/or Mexican.

Or Democrats or trans people

Sex traffickers are mostly Russian and Eastern European, as I understand it. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

A global crackdown on child sex slavery seems like the kind of thing we should all be able to support no matter who the traffickers and customers are. They are all evil and should all be in prison.

Yeah, and the right wants a global crackdown on Jews and Mexicans kidnapping girls from bathrooms by pretending to be trans.

What they're supporting is not what you're supporting.

Bruh, they won't even protect children in schools. Think they care about protecting children from themselves?
