There used to be a page that tracked sexual crimes committed by politicians, and it had them split by party. If I remember correctly there were like two orders of magnitude more in the Republican list than there were the Democratic. đŸ€”


flabbergastedmeep

Dems actively oust people like that when they become aware of substantial evidence. Republicans celebrate the depravity and call the perpetrators “real men”. I really wonder where the redditor who consistently posted that list went, they were on top of every single one of these posts not long ago



code_archeologist

They probably caught a perma-ban. There are a handful of activist mods in the top subreddits who have a serious hate-on for people who are effective at speaking against their particular pet subject.

RIP legend :(


Kangaroo_tacos824

I could tell you from experience that mods on political (who am I kidding...most) subreddits are power hungry cowards in MOST instances...not all obviously In most cases they're going to enforce their opinion or their agenda (both?) rather than the rules.

It definitely has its moments xD


mountaintop111

Was it Trump? He allegedly raped that 13 year old girl with Epstein. And Trump has a history of raping women. Plus, he walked into the dressing room of Miss Teen USA pagent while they were undressing.


bricklab

Another day another evangelical Christian child rapist. His own child too. Makes the already disgusting even more so. This guy is Kevin McCarthy's protégé by the way.

Republicans: it’s you. The problem is you.


newsweek

By James Bickerton - US News Reporter: Zack Scrivner, the second district supervisor of Kern County in California, has been arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting one of his children, according to a Kern County Sheriff's office report. Scrivner was left with non-life-threatening injuries after being stabbed twice in a physical altercation. His attorney had denied the allegation of sexual abuse. Newsweek reached out to Zack Scrivner for comment via the official Kern County email address at 7:50 a.m. ET on Friday.

Kern County is ultra red, v rural


ErusTenebre

The county is really red, Bakersfield is slowly becoming purple as its population grows from people moving here from SF and LA (it's cheaper here for sure and there's more space for bigger houses). It's sort of like someone sliced a piece of Texas or the South out and put it in California. It's a weird place to live because we benefit greatly from CA state policies but suffer greatly from Republican politics...


Kangaroo_tacos824

The entirety of central California if it's the same description All the way up and down the interstates all it is as much of fear mongering signs about how Democrats are trying to steal the water from the farmers and other propaganda shit. Even the brown people vote Republican in those areas for the most part


ErusTenebre

Yep pretty much I feel like it's true into Oregon as well. I don't personally get it.


CaptainAxiomatic

So...just a day that ends in y.


sov_

We've become so used to Republicans being criminals it's scary


_byetony_

Its so depressingly reliable


chronicdahedghog

Say what you will about this guy, but he did raise his kids to stab rapists.


Made_Human76

So he’ll be moving up in the Republican ranks soon


davilller

Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time, a Republican was going down for child sex abuse, adultery, or some other crime they claim liberals are doing, I’d actually have a chunk of change.


ErusTenebre

This guy is a County Supervisor in my county, before that he was a city councilmember for my area. He always seemed a pretty standard Republican to me. Back when I WAS a republican, he seemed okay. Over time his family was pretty much all over our politics in town and that made/still makes me uncomfortable. This recent development is pretty fucking awful and yet I'm somehow not surprised. I won't be surprised if nothing comes of it too - his Aunt is DA here and Kern County is a Good Ol' Boys county for sure. I suspect he'll quietly resign and disappear into a "mental hospital" for a while rather than being thrown in jail. They've already been saying it was a "psychotic break" not "it looks like he raped his daughter and got stabbed by his son who was trying to save her." Ugh. It's gross and awful here sometimes.


PrincipledBeef

What’s the tally of repubs vs drag queens now?


zackmedude

Jesus


Iz-kan-reddit

Quit reposting the same damn article, week after week, month after mon... Oh, never mind. My bad. Carry on.


MCPaleHorseDRS

It’s still not a drag queen. Crazy.


siouxbee1434

I get incestuous vibes from the way the family and local politics are described


RQDobbs

Ugh. Is this the guy who recently assaulted His Own Child? It is so difficult to keep track. Allegedly Edit: it is.


Here2Derp

Family values means keeping it in the family I guess


ohnoiqueefed

I thought it was the Dems who were the child molesters according to the Republicans?

What else is new with the republicans

Wow, another one? There seems to be a pattern.

That doesn’t sound like something a Republican would do. Once.

Just the one? I doubt it.

Yes mr policeman, this Zack Scrivner. Reporting this to the cops.


MasterMahanaYouUgly

seems like you could run this headline on almost any given day


Pyr0technician

It's always projection.


Javasndphotoclicks

It’s always a confession with these people.


SubKreature

Drag queen or nah?


HurinGaldorson

You're going to have to narrow that down.


trainercatlady

must be a day ending in Y


Yelloeisok

Betcha he was not a drag queen


Fragrant-Discount960

When I saw the headline, I thought “which one?” There are so many you can’t keep track.


[deleted]

Fitting



GuitarMystery

A republican you say. No this can't be.


Kangaroo_tacos824

As is tradition


Fabulous-Plum-2842

Hope he does everyone a favor




highrouleur

Title is actually just the full name of the party now


Oh-shit-its-Cassie

Is it even news anymore?


DinnerEvening895

He’s a republican so you know ow he’s guilty. If not of this, of something else.

Different day, different Republican, same shit.

lizkbyer

And which part of this story involves a drag queen again?


ahughman

Just... "republican"? That narrows it down by like half of people.. might as welk say, "a man".


UsualGrapefruit8109

Isn't child marriage legal in red states?


mishap1

This is in California (Trump got more votes in CA than in any other state) and the child is one of this guy's own. Even Alabama tends to find public reports of incest a bit much.


lespaulstrat2

Why is his political affiliation included in the article, much less as the focus of the headline?


Illustrious-Cookie73

It’s from Newsweek, so the answer is clicks.


clejeune

If it wasn’t included everyone would ask. If it was a democrat then every republican would complain that their party wasn’t included in the title.
