Aaron Craig Gleason has been a conservative writer and contributor to The Federalist, The Imaginative Conservative, and The Daily Wire. While he mostly wrote film reviews with a few essays for The Federalist, on social media he demonized drag queens and accused gay people of being groomers and pedophiles. So, of course, he was arrested for sexually abusing a child younger than twelve years old.
