ator Tim Scott of South Carolina called it an “amazing, gut-wrenching, emotional movie.”

“Wow. Wow. Wow,” Senator Ted Cruz of Texas wrote of the film, urging supporters to see it.

And on Wednesday, former President Donald J. Trump is set to host a screening of the movie, “Sound of Freedom,” at his private club in New Jersey, the most striking sign yet of how the unlikely box-office hit has captured the imagination of American conservatives.

The movie, released July 4, was the second most-watched film in North America last weekend, behind “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning,” and has made $90.7 million as of Monday, according to data from Comscore.

Experts on misinformation expressed misgivings about the movie’s message.

“I do think that human trafficking is real and child trafficking is real and these are real problems,” said Kathryn Olmsted, a professor of history at the University of California, Davis, who has studied the role of conspiracy theories in American politics. “It’s just that this renewed, highly politicized focus on it is emblematic of increasing political polarization in our society.”

Is he inviting his buddy Allen Deshowitz, Jeffrey Epstien’s lawyer, or no?

I don’t see how anybody can be against it. Those that are against it can honestly be accused of supporting the abuse of children. Just like gender affirming surgery.

The only ones that have “highly politicized” this issue are on the left.

“It's just that this renewed, highly politicized focus on it is emblematic of increasing political polarization in our society.”

So, the people who are “pro child abuse” are being unfortunately minimized and smeared?

Human trafficking “expert” Kathryn Olmsted “THINKS” the issue is real...but is not sure.

ator Tim Scott of South Carolina called it an “amazing, gut-wrenching, emotional movie.”

I agree with "ator" Scott.

Glad to see Trump on board with this one as well.

[ConservativeMind]

By the way, who are these “experts of misinformation?”

I don’t think there a degree or certification to be this, outside of having a journalism degree or being a member of the Deep State.

[ConservativeMind]

That is, “experts ON misinformation.”

They are, in fact, the “experts of misinformation.”

[MtnClimber]

The left hates this movie. Why?

The New York Times:

It's OK When We Do It,

and leave the Leftists out of the narrative.

[ViLaLuz]

Just saw it this morning. It slams pedophiles, human traffickers, drugs, cartels, corruption, pimps, porn...anything immoral and evil, which are the haters’ values.

She says it's a real problem, so what is the "conspiracy theory" and why has it become political? Why does the left not want to discuss it? Part of the reason: the movie apparently has strong Christian themes, and the bigots on the left can't stand that.

Translation: Liberals are not allowed to watch.

[rktman]

As previously mentioned, folks should try to watch “Whistleblower” from 2010. Evil u.n. revelation/true story.

[right way right]

The lines are being drawn more clearly every day.
Come Lord Jesus.

“I do think that human trafficking is real and child trafficking is real and these are real problems,” said Kathryn Olmsted, a professor of history at the University of California, Davis

It takes a special kind of stupid to make a statement like that.

OTOH, I'm willing to bet Ms. Olmsted is a Kool-Aid drinking believer in climate change who thinks massive sectors of the farming and ranching industry all over the world will make the climate magically improve.

Any takers?

Every citizen in the United States has the right to hire an attorney. The nutcase psychopath Bryan Kohberger has an attorney = a woman. That doesn’t mean she’s a psychopathic killer of students in Idaho

It means Kohberger -like Epstein - is allowed to use our system of justice. A system based on a presumption of innocents going into a trial.

[Vigilanteman]

To clarify: She thinks the problems are real, but then states they are some kind of loony conspiracy theory which means she doesn’t think the problems are real.

[MNDude]

Other than the quote “God’s Children are not for sale”, which is said once, there are no religious themes in the movie. This is false information.
