Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Michael Whatley was the chair of the Republican National Committee. Currently, he is running for U. S. Senate with Trump’s endorsement. He is pushing a tough-on-crime agenda, while he has been instrumental in helping a former felon and child rapist secure leadership positions in the North Carolina GOP.
Leon David Black is a billionaire investor and co-founder of Apollo Global Management. While he is technically politically unaffiliated, he is a big campaign donor and two-thirds of his donations are to Republicans. He was also a good friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
In 2023, he was sued by a woman who alleged that Leon Black raped her in Epstein’s townhouse when she was just sixteen years old.
Gary Cannon, a Trump donor, was the President of the Board of the Oregon Coast Military Museum in Florence, Oregon. His son, Geoffrey Cannon, who has no party affiliation,was arrested and charged with child sexual abuse. Geoffrey was the museum’s director. When the minor’s family addressed the Board, Cannon said she knew what she was doing and equally offensive blaming the victim to excuse his son raping a minor.
Jess Edwards is a New Hampshire State Representative. He calls himself a pro-women conservative, though it seems pro-women means anti-trans in his lexicon. However, the reason he is on this list is his advocacy for child marriage, something he defines as pro-choice, if choice equals child marriage.
He lost his job on the Claremont police force after he was investigated for an inappropriate relastionship with a sixteen-year-old girl that started when she was fifteen. He had been seeing the girl for months, claiming she was a drug informant, though he never provided any information from her. While there is no evidence of him molesting her, the girl said they were planning to have sex when she turned seventeen. He was ordered not to contact her, but ignored the order. He was suspended.
Bobby Leonard is the pastor of Bible Baptist Tabernacle preached that if he were on a jury, he would acquit a man who raped a woman if the woman was wearing shorts.
Dennis Prager, as far as anyone knows, has not assaulted anyone, but he spends a lot of time making sexual assault possible and probable. He rushed to the defense of Brett Kavanaugh citing examples of his mother and wife being sexually assaulted and not raising a public stink about it. He seems to think it laudable that two men were allowed to continue sexually assaulting women since the women he cared about stopped the assault. To Prager, holding men accountable for sexual assault “undermines foundational moral principles of any decent society.” Sexual assault doesn’t seem to threaten anything, but accountability threatens society itself.
Two women have come forward alleging they were abused by men in the church when they were children. One was eleven, the other twelve. They, individually, told the pastor and his wife who offered to pray for them, but did not report the abuse to the police as required by law. In Tennessee, everyone is a mandatory reporter if they suspect abuse. This has been the law since 1965.
The age of consent in Alabama is sixteen so the Sauers was not charged with rape or sexual abuse. Instead the charge was for a teacher-student relationship when the student is less younger than nineteen.
After Sauer was arrested, the girl was told she could not play softball unless she signed a waiver agreeing to hold the school harmless in regard to the incident with Sauers. This was particularly damaging as she is a strong player who hoped to secure a sports scholarship.
Mike Moon is a Missouri Republican state senator who supports and defends child marriage. In 2018, he opposed the bill that raised the marriage age from 15 to 16. In April, 2023, he carried a bill attacking trans children’s rights. He was challenged for his hypocrisy on parental rights since on the one hand, he supports allowing parents to permit a 12-year-old to marry and yet opposed a parent permitting gender-affirming medical care.
