A member of the political party fighting to allow inappropriate drag shows be accessible to children arrested for child porn. Can't say that I'm surprised.
Why is that significant? The fact that someone identifies with a political party does not mean that he is a representative (as in ' speaks for ') of same or that he abides by its principles. Would a gay Republican office holder be significant?
This must mean pizzagate is true!
And Bubba Clinton was a frequent flyer on the "Lolita Express".
Radio silence from the hive.
