Republican Organizational Cover-Up (87 instances)

779: Ronnie Floyd

Organizational Cover-Up
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Ronnie Floyd was the President of the Southern Baptist Conference until his resignation in late 2021. The SBC was heavily criticized for lack of transparency about sexual predator pastors. Floyd opposed releasing information about these predators. He thought transparency would lead to more criticism of the SBC and open it to lawsuits. SBC’s leaders were pressured to waive attorney-client privilege so an outside firm could investigate allegations of abuse.

777: Salvatore J. Cordileone

Organizational Cover-Up

Cordileone remains the only California bishop yet to release an internal list of priests “credibly accused” of sexually abusing children. In fact, he has refused to publish the names of identified pedophiles in the Archdiocese, instead listing priests in “good standing.” This is not twenty years ago. He is still protecting pedophile priests in 2022.

734: Joe White

Organizational Cover-Up

Joe White is the son of the founders of Camp Kanakuk, one of the largest Christian camps in the United States, a camp that hosts about 12,000 children each year. He remains the Camp Kanakuk director despite his role in covering up and protecting child molesters who worked for him.

Child Sexual Abuse Material, Organizational Cover-Up

T. Denny Sanford is a GOP mega-donor, giving a million to Americans for Prosperity, the anti-tax group, and ten thousand here and twenty-five thousand there. He’s among the elite class of Republican donors. He’s even more influential at the state level in Arizona and South Dakota where he divides his time and his political advocacy. He is also an “implicated individual” in a child sexual abuse material investigation.

647: Larry Householder

Organizational Cover-Up

Survivors were not told that the several times they were called to show up and support the bill, to testify, and to lobby, that this was just a ploy. Mike Schyck was one of the survivors who testified. He was angry when he learned it was all theater. “Why f**k with victims in that way? That’s the most irresponsible thing I’ve ever heard.” He thought the bill was a real thing, not a ploy. “Why would you consider putting us through that?” he asked.”

626: Shane Anderson

Enabling, Organizational Cover-Up, Rape Culture

Shane Anderson was the treasurer of the North Dakota District 24 Republicans. He also was the chairman of the recall effort to punish Rep. Dwight Kiefert, a fellow Republican. This is after the local Republicans already voted to censure Kiefert.

What did Kiefert do that was so terrible as to merit censure and recall? He voted with two-thirds of the other North Dakota Republicans to expel sexual harasser Luke Simons. Shane Anderson, who has a local minister’s license at the United Pentecostal Church International, is leading the effort to punish Kiefert for voting to expel an abusive, harassing, sexual predator.

Organizational Cover-Up

The Southern Baptist Convention covered up sexual abuse and protected abusers for years. In 2019, an investigation by the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express revealed around 380 Southern Baptist pastors and church leaders had been accused of sexual abuse and misconduct involving hundreds of survivors. In most cases, the religious leaders continue in their vocation and the victims were blamed.
