It's like watching a fog of Nazi-ism and pedophiles creep across the country

Yup. And you and I are letting it happen.

Weird, the presidents good friend talked to his prosecutor and now are making excuses for child sex trafficking? That's pretty weird, but not suspicious in the slightest. Like at all. At ALL!

In a just society this claim should get this creep fired.

Fuck this dude, I hope his life is short.

Im surprised any newsmax host would get backlash for saying anything, considering it is literally news handcrafted for people with the least critical thinking skills imaginable
