He has also been convicted of sexually abusing children in Michigan and Florida. The child in Michigan was under 13 but he pled down to 2 counts with a child under 17. He was charged in 2019 and in a plea deal that changed the age from 13 to 17. Incredibly, he was given two years probation in October 2022. Under the terms of his probation he was to avoid being with child, not allowed to date someone with children, not go to parks where there are children, and so on. So he moved to Florida and was arrested and pled guilty in a plea agreement in about six weeks with probation again in December 2022.

Tudor Dixon was the Michigan Republican nominee for governor. She was asked if she would support an abortion exception for a 14-year-old girl who was impregnated by rape. She would not. In fact, she believes that forcing a 14-year-old girl to carry a rapist’s baby to term may be healing. She claims she knows this by spending time with children of rape and that the mother-child bond would be healing.

Garrett Soldano, a candidate in the Michigan Republican primary for governor in 2022, opposes abortion and opposes exceptions for rape or incest. He thinks women who are raped and become pregnant should feel inspired that God put them in that situation. Who knows? They could be carrying the next president. As he put it, we need to “defend the DNA.” Yes, he is committed to defending rapists’ DNA.

Sexual Harassment
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Mellissa Carone was Giuliani’s star witness in Michigan and one of the conspirators in an attempted coup. If it were not our democracy at stake, she would have been funny. She alleged that the Dominion voter machines were hacked. People thought she may have been drunk. She baselessly claimed she witnessed massive voter fraud.
