Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Dan McKeon, whose nickname is Dirty Dan, is a Republican state senator in Nebraska. He was cited for public indecency in early November, 2025, over an incident in May when he allegedly groped a staffer while telling a crude joke at an end-of-session party. She reported the incident in September.
J. Stuart Adams is the Republican President of the Utah State Senate. He told a colleague, Sen. Kirk Cullimore, about his granddaughter’s legal troubles (charged with child rape and child sodomy) and asked him to look into changing the Romeo-Juliet Law.
Mike Maroney is a former West Virginia State Senator who served from 2016 to 2024. He is also a radiologist. He lost his primary in 2024 due to some medically sound but unpopular with Republican voter positions in support of vaccines and medical interventions such as hormone treatment for transgender people. He was removed from his position of chair of the Health and Human Resources Committee after his arrest for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.
Nicholas Hacker is a former North Dakota state senator and served on the North Dakota Board of Higher Education. In 2016 while Hacker was on the Board of Higher Ed, Senator Ray Holmberg sent Hacker an e-mail describing a sexual encounter he had in Taiwan. Hacker did not forward that email to report inappropriate, likely illegal trafficking until after the investigation into Holmberg began in 2022. That is six years of failing to report Holmberg’s disgraceful conduct.
Justin Eichorn was a Minnesota State Senator from 2017 until he resigned in 2025 after his arrest for soliciting a minor for sex.
He also has some bizarre views on child molestation. Sen. Karnes opposed a rape and incest exception to an abortion ban because he seems to think the rapist will pressure them to abort to get rid of the evidence. He also seems to think that since child victims of pedophiles are groomed to think there is a relationship, then they should not be allowed to get an abortion because they don’t think of it as rape when it’s happening. “You know the dynamic in these relationships quite often is that the child has a very romanticized view of what’s happening. … They think that this is their boyfriend,” he said.
Ray Holmberg was a North Dakota senator for 44 years. In 2020, Caton Todd accused him of sexual assault. His allegation was ignored by the media. It got a little more attention when it was discovered that Holmberg exchanged 72 text messages with a man charged with distributing child sex abuse material (CSAM), possessing CSAM, and transporting two children from Minneapolis to Grand Forks, ND, in order to sexually abuse them.
One of the people he prescribed opioids for was not only his second cousin and employee, but she was also his lover. This amounted to an abuse of power and officially improper prescribing. If she needed him to prescribe or needed the job, did she have free agency?
Mike Groene was a Nebraska state senator. A legislative aide filed a complaint that he had taken inappropriate pictures of her while in their state office. The photos were taken secretly and without her permission. She found the photos on his computer and saw he had mailed them to other people with sexual captions. He resigned both from the senate and from his campaign for Nebraska University Board of Regents.
His entire history is full of scandal from “borrowing” a school bus and drinking while taking young people to a game and giving alcohol to minors to more serious allegations of bank fraud and wire fraud. He is on the list, though, for creating and spreading false allegations as they contribute to the rape culture lie that women frequently make false claims.
