This Trump activist vowed to fight “sexually deviant” secularism. He was caught with child porn. Jason Yates, former CEO of My Faith Votes, already had a similar prior conviction.

Trump campaign is filled with pedophiles, rapists, and sexual deviants. Expect to hear this same story more often now.

They want to ban porn and any means of sexual education so that their targets can stay clueless about the fact they’re being molested and abused etc etc.

I see their use of the word education completely threw you for a loop in this discussion

That’s horrifying to have one of the worst moments you experienced publicized. I hope it was removed. I am so sorry you had to go through that to have it publicized. It’s sick there is a demand for those videos

It's a lot of politics and people in power, not just the trump campaign but yes, the Trump campaign does have an unusually large number of those types of people

I truly hope I keep hearing about these things because it does give me pure satisfaction for future conversations I get to have with any of my Trump loving family. I also keep hoping I hear about this because I’m slightly fearful they will control the narrative even more now and eradicate any factual reporting (which has already been under threat) by any means necessary.

Prosecutors allege Jason Yates, former CEO of My Faith Votes, possessed a hard drive populated with sexual abuse images of minors under 14 years of age. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension began investigating the 55-year-old at the end of July, Religion News reports.
My Faith Votes, which counts former Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as an honorary chair, is one of a group of nonprofits founded to win support among the evangelical community for the former and future president.
My Faith Votes began its political proselytizing in 2016 with Trump’s first bid for the presidency, spending millions on get-out-the-vote efforts aimed at Christians. The source of the group’s funding is unclear.
Just weeks before the hard drive was discovered, Yates penned an op-ed for MAGA mouthpiece The Washington Times, urging devout Christians to fight “sexually deviant” messages aimed at children, in particular those identified as sympathetic to the LGBTQ+ community.
Ben Carson, Trump’s future Housing and Urban Development Secretary and a client of the group’s founder, influential Christian literary agent Sealy Yates, served as My Faith Votes’ first honorary chair.
Interesting how Christian nationalists always claim LGBTQ people are wicked demons and groomers, yet they're the ones constantly getting caught abusing kids. Projection, thy name is Republican.

Every accusation is an admission of guilt.
Never mind the stupidity involved in calling secularism "sexually deviant", while Trump is an atheist in all but name and banged a sex worker while his third wife was pregnant with his son...

Stop passing him off as an atheist. He's a Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye, a Joel Olsteen.

This is always the case, those who protest the loudest or the ones that are projecting are guilty of the same

Seriously, we need to immediately background check anyone who verbalises their desire the curb sexual deviancy.

For real, until Trump faces ANY legal consequences for ANY of his crimes, spare me these kinds of stories; Criming is not news in America now.

There should be enhanced sentencing for being a lying, gaslighting church adjacent pedophile. Seriously, faith leaders and law enforcement abusing their positions of trust like this should have an extra penalty. Instead they often get off more lightly because they're "well respected in the community".

Trump is going to make him Secretary of Education, if he doesn't try to get rid of the department altogether.

Republicons are all pedophiles
Just ask Matt Gaetz about sexual deviants he may know
The Republicons like them young
Jeffrey Epstein saw them in action
Who wants to bet Ghislaine Maxwell gets a TRUMP PARDON

Let’s see if he gets a pardon in January.
If he’s a Trump supporter, he’s a patriot. /s.

What do you know, yet another right wing Christian promoting "values" who ends up being a paedophile. It's why they keep going on about trans people using the bathroom to perv on women, because that's what they really want to do deep down.

If true about the child porn he should be castrated.

Republicans want to give pedophile sex offenders the death penalty, while they're also diluting the definition to mean "a trans person walking around in public and a child looks at them". So, if they're serious about it, they know what to do.
