Naughty Republicans

 Republicans seem to be obsessed with all things sexual, homosexual, and transexual, while mixing in a disturbing fixation on children. I am scratching my head at all that, but who knows? Maybe in Florida, it is standard operating procedure in school to have a discussion about Mickey blowing Pluto in the cafeteria, right after naps. It is Florida, after all!

Today, after watching a few reports about Governor DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” law, I was thinking of the allegations against Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, namely that he paid to have a seventeen year old girl transported across state lines for the purpose of sexual activity. I am pretty darn sure that falls under “interstate trafficking”, “sex trafficking”,  and “human trafficking”, all three! Then, we have Madison Cawthorn, who feigns outrage over men "not being men". Yet, I was just looking at newly revealed photos of him, wearing black women's underpants and matching bra (very stylish). He was surrounded by several women. This is on the high heels of Cawthorn saying he has been invited to orgies at lawmakers' homes, earning him the wrath of his party's unhappy members.

     My brain screamed, "What the hell is going on?!"



    Looking back, I think
most of the high profile sex scandals over the last several decades have involved Republicans, many of whom were self-proclaimed Christians. They have also been very much against equal rights for those in the LBGTQ community. Many have equated homosexuals with sex predators, especially pedophiles, or they have declared they are mentally sick in some way. Men who are transgender are seen as everything from “confused” to “perverted”, but never just “human”. 

Because we all tend to have short memories, I thought I would help out by remembering these stories for you. What follows are links to some of the more memorable Republican/Christian sex scandals. Feel free to share!

That’s a start.

And, yes-I know about Bill Clinton. The girl, the cigar, the dress…I know.

Funny thing, though-she was nineteen.

As for the Clinton-Epstein connection, I lost a lot of respect for Bill on that one. I was not shocked, but disappointed, all the same.

Stay tuned, folks. We are mere months away from the mid-terms and it is bound to get even crazier. Buckle up!
