Conason: Who are the real sexual predators? There’s a list - Main Street Media of Tennessee
Of all the big lies that Republican officials and media personalities have deployed for partisan advantage over the past several years, the most sickening by far is their current campaign to depict Democrats as “groomers” — meaning that they are sexual predators who recruit underage victims.For...

An astonishingly comprehensive Google document of these offenders, complete with more than 800 citations and links, can be found under the rubric of #RepublicanSexualPredators. It has apparently been maintained and updated scrupulously for years — and undoubtedly will be added to for years to come.
This list includes more than a few already familiar names, from serial killers such as Dennis Rader and Ted Bundy (who — did you know? — attended the 1968 GOP national convention) to serial child molester Dennis “Coach” Hastert, the longest-serving Republican House Speaker, sent to prison six years ago. It includes Ken Starr, the Clinton-era inquisitor booted out of Baylor University as chancellor for protecting rapists; Roger Ailes, the late Fox News chief and manic sexual harasser; several conservative bishops who notoriously covered up for pedophile priests; and many, many others guilty of harassment and other offenses that fall well short of felonies.
Anyone who peruses the #RepublicanSexualPredators list will, however, also find an extensive and shocking aggregation of convicted pedophiles, child rapists and child pornographers. Among the notables are a former staff researcher for Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, whose 2017 arrest sparked a brief scandal, and a couple of well-known Republican fundraisers from the nation’s capital. Others were county commissioners, party chairmen, city council members, state legislators, and so on down the list, covering almost every level of officialdom.
There was, for example, the former Cobb County, Georgia, party chair, convicted of child molestation in 2016. There was the “Republican of the Year,” so named by the National Republican Congressional Committee, who died in prison while serving a 26-year sentence for sexually assaulting children. There was the “Faith and Family Alliance” leader who solicited sex from minors on the internet. There was the Kentucky Republican leader arrested for having sex with a 5-year-old boy. There were the Republican fundraiser, the downstate Virginia mayor, and the upstate New York mayor, all convicted of child pornography charges, as were the Republican staffers, from Brooklyn to Minnesota to Florida, guilty of the same offenses.
