Eric Swalwell Silent on His Endorsement of Former Trans-Lawmaker Facing Charges for Soliciting Child Porn (2023)
Turning Point U.S.A. ^ | 07/26/2023 | Chaya Raichik

Representative Eric Swalwell and his staff were silent when asked if the Congressman planned to comment on his endorsement of the first transgender-identifying woman to hold state office who was arrested in June for distributing child pornography.

39-year-old Stacie Laughton, who formerly went by his male name Bruce, was the first state transgender-identifying representative in the state of New Hampshire. Laughton was arrested and charged in June for soliciting pornographic images of children from his partner who was a daycare worker at the time. The former representative is facing one count of sexual exploitation of minors and aiding and abetting by the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts. The Department of Justice’s press release and case information regarding Laughton’s charges both use his preferred female pronouns.

According to the Maine Wire, “Lindsay Groves, 38, the former intimate partner of the State Rep, was arrested on June 22, 2022, on one count of sexual exploitation of children and one count of distribution of child pornography.” The publication also shared several text messages between the two revealing their discussions surrounding their plans to harm the children attending daycare with Groves.

That’s a great idea

Don’t forget BETO O’ROURKE too

Interesting 🤔🤔🤔 that
Turning Point USA was all
over this story 2 years ago

Then Charlie Kirk gets murdered just a
couple of months before this clown 🤡🤡🤡
gets CONVICTED

On September 10, 2025,
Turning Point USA
Charlie Kirk was assassinated

And this Democrat clown 🤡🤡🤡 was
convicted a few days ago

Yeah, perhaps just coincidence....

I suppose it’s possible

I AM CERTAIN that
Turning Point USA
would have been
ALL over this story

Laughton, 39, has been federally charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children and aiding and abetting by the US Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts. He was THE FIRST OPENLY TRANSGENDER LAWMAKER IN THE UNITED STATES.

I was going to say, he was made history by being the first federal lawmaker to be indicted for child pornography, but before I said that, I decided to check. And guess what. Not even close.

Here's a list (at the federal level):

Dennis Hastert
Buz Lukens
Mel Reynolds
Anthony Weiner

As far as party identification goes, it's even; 2 R, 2 D.

At the state and local level, the list is much longer.

A combination of mental illness and an exaggerated sense of pride.

Dunno but that motel looks A LOT
like one I stayed at in Kansas
many, many years ago.

Though that one is likely NH.

Must have been built with the
same type of plans.

Kinda freaked me out 🙀😧.

IT was probably on a road trip maybe campaigning
in a small town to sell the weak-minded into the
Homosexual Agenda or was just traveling.

On a side note, the Kansas motel was actually not
too bad but the town didn’t even have a Taco Bell.

It was a nice little room though. King bed, a table
or two for the laptop, TV and a decent tub and shower 🚿.

Not too bad for a motel (there aren’t many left)
