There's a long, disgusting history of right-wingers defending child predators
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 youre likely to know if youve 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 hes not against grooming children as long as theyre being groomed for marriage. And podcaster Matt Walsh made the list after downplaying sexual abuse in the Catholic Church as not a pedophile scandal.
