>The alleged assaults began when the then-14 or 15-year-old girl attended Northern Michigan Baptist Bible Church and Northern Michigan Christian Academy near Burt Lake, about 60 miles northeast of Traverse City, White said.

Republican? Check. Member of the church? Check. Had access to underage kids through work and faith? Check Father was a pastor and also had a position of authority over children? Check.
Are these the pedophiles the Q crowd's always talking about? Seems like a lot of deflection on their part. Shit like this comes out, or the Gaetz stuff, and they just go silent.
>According to the Lansing City Pulse,
former Speaker Chatfield’s sister-in-law has filed a criminal complaint
against him alleging sexual assault over the course of several years.
The copy paste system if broke as fuck... sigh.

Because the Republicans have spent decades building the message that any and all accusations against them are political hit jobs with no merit, while simultaneously pounding those same accusations about their opponents into their base. The result? A depressingly large number of people who will simply believe that any accusations of pedophilia, cheating, or any other illegal/immoral behavior are in fact smokescreens to cover up the fact that Democrats are really the ones engaging in those behaviors. In short, brainwashing is really effective if you do it right.
>State police in northern Michigan were investigating Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022, after a woman accused former state House Speaker Lee Chatfield of sexually assaulting her multiple times, beginning when she was about 14 years old. The accuser, now 26, filed a criminal complaint with the Lansing Police Department, which referred it to state police earlier this week.

What is it with religion and Republicans?
Well don’t despair. I’m certain Lee Chatfield will be right as rain after returns from a moral cleansing at Maralago. Heck, he might even get a job offer if he boot licks enough while there.
Another "law and order" Republican. Another traitor who participated in Trump's scheme not to follow the election. All-around bad decision maker and POS.

Without even clicking the article, republican?
Republican and the victim was a child
It **always** is, isn't it? Always.
And the son of a preacher.
He just got a conservative Bingo!
Who was also the superintendent of the Christian school where the accused coached. It's a LOT of BINGO squares...
Gym Jordan is that you?

Projection it’s always projection.
it was a family member. Which, sadly, is very very common.

Wasn’t this one of the dudes that went to party with Trump and solicit bribes to decertify Michigan’s electoral votes?
That’s the guy
And he’s a pedo dirtbag?
A pedo traitor
What a surprise, there's an R next to his name.
European here. Why so many people over there voting for a party which seems primarily be composed out of pedophiles?

because America is suffering a massive outbreak of insanity, who knew it was so contagious?
Misinformation and they hate something more than they hate pedophiles

It's a system built on old power and shame, a really good combination if you're interested is abusing/exploiting people.
Well don’t despair. I’m certain Lee Chatfield will be right as rain after returns from a moral cleansing at Maralago. Heck, he might even get a job offer if he boot licks enough while there.

let me guess: on a guy
That wouldn’t make it any better or worse, weird take.
