'It Defies All Belief': House Dems Block Measure Increasing Penalties for Child Sex Traffickers

"I don't think there is a prison, a hole underneath a prison, deep enough to throw that individual in."

House Democrats appear to be unconcerned about the optics of shutting down an effort to increase penalties for child sex traffickers in an election year.

On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee unanimously shot down such a measure.

"A question about his amendment first," Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) said. "I want to thank Mr. Roy for this common sense amendment that deals with the overall issue, as opposed to trying to piecemeal this out. And I suspect we won't deal with the overall issue if we continue to piecemeal this out."

"But Mr. Roy, can you think of any circumstance in which an individual induces, coerces, controls a child and forces that child into the sex trade, where that individual, that defendant, that criminal doesn't deserve 15 years in prison?" Buck asked.

"I cannot, no," Congressman Chip Roy (R-NC) answered. "I can appreciate the question from the gentleman. He is, too, a former prosecutor who prosecuted for a lot longer than I did. And I appreciate his recognition of that truth."

"I mean, as a father of two, as a former prosecutor, it defies all belief, all common sense that you would say that someone who traffics a child in the sex industry — actually puts a child into that environment for that child to be sexually abused — that that individual should not have a minimum sentence or 15 years," he added.

"I don't think there is a prison, a hole underneath a prison, deep enough to throw that individual in," Buck commented.

Age of consent in Mexico is 14 I believe, so many illegal immigrants are probably “unknowingly” engaging in pedophilia.

Child diddlers are an esteemed constituency group among the Democrats and they give plenty of money to their candidates.

The money quote from the post:

“The Democratic Party has become a party of freaks, lunatics, weirdos and monsters. This is a party that has gone far beyond destructive policies that harm the American economy. It is now seeking to rip apart society itself.”

Destructive sickos, by intent. Evil incarnate. No other possible motive.

Pedophiles serve no purpose.
They cannot be rehabilitated.
Kill them.
And anyone that supports them

Did 0bama issue a rebuke of republican critics over withdrawal of this amendment in support of his puppet?

Asking for a friend.

Money flows freely to protect the guilty and democrats hate children. How much taxpayer money is given to pedophiles ? We know democrats hold the purse. Bet We the People would be amazed. My best guess is 100s of Billions bordering a mere Trillion per year
