I'm kinda glad they wear the red hats everywhere. They self identify for you. Doesn't matter what it is, you just know to avoid them and keep your kids close.

Once again, it's a right winger doing this heinous shit.
I relistened to a podcast episode about Sound Of Freedom movie the other day, and they were saying it suits the right wing narrative to believe child abuse is shady organisations using shipping containers. That way, it distracts them from the fact that most children are suffering because of a member of their family or someone in a position of authority (e.g. church leader). They get to feel righteous without having to look at the real causes or challenge the conservative ideals of the traditional family and religion.
It really is crazy how strong the base opposes it, yet they're dismissive when their guys get caught in it.
If anything has caused trump not to win, I would've thought that'd be the thing.
All these super religious boomers that probably don't have a clue what's actually happening (I guess they're all early on getting senile), and yet they've voted in a fairly obvious atheist president, who's not only ok with abusing children sexually, but made a best friend out of a legendarily huge person in that world.
They really got focused on the "he'll run the country like a business" (like that's a good thing) and"he's already rich, he can't be bought" (except for Putin and Elon).
It's honestly confounding that we're not in the timeline where he's been in jail for 30 years already, with no end in sight.
It’s because they exclusively get their news from places that refuse to report on those things. Then when they do hear about them, they dismiss it as fake news because if it was true then surely their super awesome news source would have told them about it.
Man, that headline really undersells what a piece of shit this guy is.
Ricci Wynne, 39, known as Raw Ricci to his more than 100,000 Instagram followers, was first arrested in November and charged with pimping and pandering by procuring, HuffPost previously reported. He was taken into custody alongside a woman shortly after arriving at San Francisco International Airport.
The influencer was already being investigated by San Francisco police at the time of his November arrest and was named a suspect in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old, according to The San Francisco Standard. Authorities say they found evidence on Wynne’s cellphones and at his luxury apartment that indicated he was facilitating a sex work operation that spanned multiple cities.
He's a full fledged sex trafficker and a child sex abuser. Logic tells me there's probably some overlap between those two things as well.
Child abuser, sex trafficker, Trump supporter.
The MAGA hat trick.
Pardon incoming /s
Reminder again, not a Democrat, not a transgender, not a drag queen not an immigrant.
I don't know, I heard people are saying that he donated a dollar to charity in the grocery store line when he was 12. CLEARLY a closet Democrat. /S
He'll be literally all those things now in Republican echo chambers.
The Right wing eats its own.
Should have kept better company.
"MAGA influencer" is just another name for "professional antisocial gremlin."
And that goes all the way up to President Musk at the very top; it's pathetic how people look up to the lowest form of life on planet Earth.
As someone who has gremlins in her life (and sometimes engages in gremlin activity herself): don't refer to that thing as a gremlin. Gremlin is a playful and endearing term, not something that should be applied to questionably-human pieces of shit.

Ah, okay then, carry on ya cute little gremlin.
Republicans == pedophiles.
Not hard here Americans.
Yup, Republicans and Catholic priests are the most common pedos you find out about.
I hope he burns in hell
How am I supposed to play my game of do they support the GOP or not, when they put it in the headline.
I saw this guy on the SF video by Channel 5. Used to be a drug dealer. The fucking sad thing is he’d film unhoused people doing drugs and yelling at them “there’s kids around here!”
So raping kids is fine to this degen, but don’t let the kids see poverty on the streets.
It's always the ones you suspect the most
How could we have not known? Wasn’t someone thinking of the children?
"Raw Ricci" sure was.
Is he a drag queen?
One of these days the police will catch one of those elusive drag queens who are corrupting and raping all of those kids…
another sex crime charge has hit the republican party 😞
also, obligatory "not a trans person"
Was he a drag queen? No? Damn, those child molesting drag queens are super sneaky, aren't they? How do they molest all them kids without ever getting caught? /s
I couldn’t help but read this in my head with a thick southern country accent.
I think that pedos and racist sees MAGA and thinks "finally, a place where I can fit in" not because of shared political views but because there's already so many freaks there.
If trump wanted to go after criminals and rapists, he should start at his base.
Should start with himself?
The Repedocan party strikes again.
Ok, so can we talk about how fucking odd it is that the Republicans are clearly an institution of pedophiles, who are now in total power, and who can change the laws as they see fit, but don't?
Ya we’ve been talking about it for awhile but no one seems to care
However he looked at a rainbow once so the Republican Party is subsequently calling for all LGBTQ+ individuals to be added to a mandatory public registry.
We could probably save a lot of the coming hardship if we just arrested people in/around government who have abused or sexually assaulted women/children.
Someone should keep a close eye on this guy, because he could be suicidal. I mean, he probably knows the president and his entire crew pretty well.
No way.
