They point out that ABC has not made any legal intervention, nor voiced its support for the star correspondent, who is said to have cited 'personal reasons' for abruptly...

We’ve all witnessed attempts by the left to normalize pedophilia. Many argue that, following the trans movement nonsense, the left’s next agenda is to make sex with children socially acceptable. To rational-thinking people, this is outrageous, but a closer look at the actions of left-wing media types reveals their relentless targeting of young kids. As a matter of fact, a particularly disturbing example is from the former ‘Recount’ editor and reporter named Slade Sohmer, who has actually received praise from left-wing circles for discussing “sexuality” with elementary school students. Disgusting, right? Well, now, we’re learning that this same monster was...

In yet another Twitter-storm, Donald Trump Jr. has decided to put his foot down when it comes to “normalizing pedophilia” — or at least, his perception of it. Last month, Trump Jr. tweeted in response to a bill California Governor Gavin Newsom passed last week accusing the entire Democratic party of protecting sex offenders. “They’re normalizing pedophelia [sic],” Trump Jr. wrote. “It’s not just Hollywood and Netflix. This is now becoming mainstream Democrat groupthink. It’s insanity and we must stop it.” He continued his Twitter tirade against the alleged Democratic “pedophiles.” “Serious question: Why is @TulsiGabbard essentially the only mainstream...
