May used the screen name “joebidennnn69″

Ffs

The real ugly bit though:

During a debate on transgender care for minors on the House floor in January 2024, May argued that: “We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them.”

It's always projection with them. It happens so frequently that I'm no longer surprised by these sorts of stories, and why I'm always on-guard whenever I hear a conservative suggest policies around children.

Rules for thee but not for me

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I will teach my daughter to never trust strangers, but to be specially terrified of White Christian Conservatives.

This type of public hypocrisy by elected officials should double or triple punishments.

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago

Every single statement they have made about the topic should be admissible as evidence to be used against them in court during sentencing. Every single time they have suggested stricter punishments should be compiled into a list and tacked onto their sentence.

I feel like we're mere months away from someone being labeled "the good kind of pedophile" on Fox News.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Isn't that already trump?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

"I'm working hard to classify the radical leftist 'Antipedo' movement as a terrorist organization."

To me, that's a very interesting detail. It makes me speculate.

Maybe he thought he was being clever by using a "democrat" username, because it would make him invisible amongst the hordes of demonrat child abusers? Maybe he could even point at his own account at some point and say: see, they're all pedos? Or maybe it even helped him to suppress his guilt, because "a democrat did it"?

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Or maybe he just dreams of a 69 with Joe.

Its always the ones you most suspect

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Gee, who could have predicted this?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago
[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Its always the ones you most suspect i guess.

[–] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It’s getting to be where you HAVE to be a pedo to be a republican.

A pre-requisite?

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Always has been

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Let's be fair. Another pathway is to be born to Republican parents and to never question anything they tell you

[–] sepi@piefed.social 37 points 1 month ago

Not a single drag queen, yet. Not one.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 25 points 1 month ago

You better watchnout what you say about him, he might become the next president

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago
[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 23 points 1 month ago

If I had a nickle for everytime a conservative turned out to be a pedo, I'd be pretty fucking rich.

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

How could the left do this! /s

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 21 points 1 month ago
[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 18 points 1 month ago

I'm shocked.

On a side note, how often does this have to happen before being a ultra conservative political figure becomes probable cause?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago
[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

No WAY! This hasn't happened for at least a week. Who could believe it other than everyone.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

So, this must be a prominent antifa drag queen, right MAGA? Presumably the stage name is Pea Defile.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

Ah so THIS is a drag queen, yes?

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

A tale as old as time.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Not a trans person

Tragic but not shocking. 😐

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Temu or Wish versions of Epsteinism.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Because of course.
