Cartoonist Who Skewered GOP as Groomers Arrested on Child Porn Charges
Newsweek ^ | January 17, 2025 | Dan Gooding

A Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist was arrested in California Wednesday over allegations that he was in possession of child sexual abuse material.

Darrin Lawrence Bell, 49, allegedly had over 130 videos of sexual abuse connected to an online account, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said Thursday. Why It Matters

Bell is a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist who "took on issues affecting disenfranchised communities, calling out lies, hypocrisy and fraud in the political turmoil surrounding the Trump administration," according to the Pulitzer website.

Among Bell's cartoons was a 2022 drawing entitled "The Groomer", which showed what looked like an elephant-like man facing a group of children and opening his coat, with the word "bigotry" tattooed on his chest — a not-so-subtle dig at Republicans, whose party logo is an elephant.

His arrest comes amid a broader conversation about distrust and partisanship in the mainstream media. The U.S. press is now the least trusted institution in the country, according to Gallup.

Hopefully, Bell will be able to watch President Trump’s Inauguration on TV in his cell, and the President will mention how the reformed US Justice Department will deal with these Degenerate Scum Criminals.

Just the tip of the iceberg that aims to sink America. The sexually aberrant and homosexual left has taken editorial and content control of the main stream media. Their evil role is to be the propaganda tip of the spear that kills the American nation.

That'll probably get him Bernie Ward's old cell.

An Astute and Absolutely Accurate comment!

Thanks for making this thread worthwhile.

While on this site FR, I’ve gotten so used to seeing it spelled as NewsWEAK, I had to look twice.

Sometimes, people will accuse others of offenses they themselves are doing. I think we now call that
Projection. Ha-ha!

Just a collection of Layabout Complaining Negros with Bad Attitudes in a Socialist Democrat Urban Jungle.

I looked hard for an unbiased article and a "useful" headline, and was amazed that this Newsweek article comes so close.

To be fair, I had to post it without Ridicule or Sarcasm toward Newsweek.
