A South Carolina Republican lawmaker — who once preached about the importance of safeguarding children from unnecessary harm — is accused of distributing more than 200 files of child pornography online while using the screen name “joebidennnn69,” federal prosecutors alleged.

Robert “RJ” May, 38, a member of the House of Representatives in the Palmetto State, was arrested at his Lexington County home Wednesday on a 10-count indictment charging him with distributing child sex abuse material, court documents showed.

The married father of two used “joebidennnn69” and several other user names to exchange 220 obscene files containing extremely graphic footage of children and toddlers engaged in sex acts on the messaging app Kik over five days last spring, federal prosecutors alleged.

    What? A republican pedo? I am shocked. Who knew that republicans were sick child molesters. This is so out of character, and a complete anomaly. /S

      Listen, I hate to defend republicans here, but your comment implies that all of them are pedophiles and that’s just not true. They all may be fucked up in some way or another, but even republicans dislike pedophiles.

        I think the comment is just calling out that one political party seems to have a lot more pedos than the other based on who has been arrested over the past … Idk let’s just say decade or so.

        Obviously we all know not all Republicans are pedophiles but they sure as hell seem to harbor way more of them than Dems and it’s not even slander it’s just true.

          Correct. The GOP is pro pedo. They have proposed laws to allow marrying children 15 & under. And they have proposed laws to allow child labor to come back. Keep your children away from these people. There might only be about 10 ‘good’ republicans left in the world at this point.

    Anyone know that massive list of the Republican pedophiles that was being compiled? Was it Slate that was doing the list? I’ve forgot and long lost the link. It was huge though. Like a 1000 names at least at the time.

        If I were to make a protest poster with this information, what pithy statement would be the best combination of true and impactful? I was thinking, “Protect children and women?! 1410 identified Republican sexual predators!”

        Could the language get more specific but stay true? These aren’t all convicted offenses, right? They also weren’t so government officials, some just identify as Republican?

          How about “1410 known cases, and we estimate that there may be more, between 20001 and 20550” which is the zip code distribution for Washington DC

          It’s clunky but I feel like there’s something there

              by all means, please, post a contrasting list.

              Please. Here’s the thing you smoothbrained pedolovers don’t comprehend: we would LOVE to see pedos OF ALL POLITICAL STRIPES get convicted - because we’re not brainwashed to think in terms of TEAMS. We’re not on the team that re-elected a self admitted grab’em by the pussy sex offender. That was all you. Great fucking job btw.

              I doubt you’ll be able to post any such doc, but please, if you can, do so. I’ll despise them as much - if not more - than I despise all 1400+ of the perverted conservatives, preachers and GOP shitbags on that list.

      I just NEED all the liberals and centrists to remember shit like this anytime the right tries to get righteous about protecting children or claiming minority groups are grooming kids etc.

      They literally don’t give a shit about harm to kids, thir “team” are the worst perpetrators of it and they don’t hold them accountable in the slightest.

    Circus shit. Dude used multiple names but the headline is Biden and they even have a picture of him. Plus this rag hijacks my back button so it’s harder to come back to Lemmy on my phone.

    Also:

    May allegedly kept several videos of himself on trips to Colombia engaging in sex with three women who appeared to be underage and were paid, a DHS official testified.

    I like that they included a picture of Biden. Him having the same name as the guys username really makes a meaningful connection. I had forgotten what biden looks like. /s

    • I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I believe in due process, so any Republican making a lot of noise about protecting children should in, a just world, at least be probable cause for a search warrant.

    Ugh. I dont say this often, but I make an exception for pedos getting caught:

    Yay for law enforcement catching this guy and I hope he is sentenced to the longest prison term the law can hold him to. If they wanted to use their armored vehicles and military assault tactics to raid his house and haul this guy in with ankle chains, today I’m not going to complain.

      I just find it amazing that they always manage to arrest republican pedophiles calmly, respectfully, without any harm or escalation.

      But random peasants pulled over for no reason and following every unhinged command and order from Sgt.Steroid Overdose have a very real, very possible chance to be brutalized or be murdered.

          Magma is too quick if a death.

          It would be an incredibly painful death. Magma/lava is incredibly dense, you would skitter along the top like a drop of water on a searing hot pan. And then pop.

            The impact from hitting water at such velocity would kill them.

            Drop them 100 miles out with nothing but their clothes instead. That would be a much more horrific experience; being able to tread water for a while, but nobody being able to find you.
