Disgusting: MAGA Religious Leader Charged With Sexually Abusing Children - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

A Trump-loving church leader in Michigan has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing children. The MAGA acolyte’s social media shows him in a MAGA hat and another photo shows him posing with Kimberly Giulfoyle and Donald Trump, Jr. while on stage for an event several years ago. This is another instance of Republican hypocrisy that resulted in actual damage to the well-being of children, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

A drag queen in Michigan has been arrested for sexually abusing children. Oh wait, I'm so sorry. It wasn't a drag queen. It was a MAGA church leader, a 29-year-old man arrested for sexually assaulting children, because that's apparently what happens when you try to tell us that it's the drag queens reading to children that are corrupting them. Kids need to be in church, and then they go to church and apparently get abused by their pastors. Let me read you this. This is from Newsweek. The 29-year-old worship director from Oakwood Church in Augusta Township, Michigan, faces 11 felony counts with charges dating back a decade, a decade. The man was arraigned, uh, Zachary Joseph Radcliffe is his name. He was arraigned, uh, two weeks ago on two counts of aggravated child, sexually abusive activity, two counts of child, uh, sexually abusive activity, and six counts of using the internet to communicate with another, to commit a crime he could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. The charges stem from incidents as early as 2014, according to court records.

This man Radcliffe also happens to be a staunch MAGA supporter. He's got photos on his social media wearing his Make America Great Again hat. And of course, at CPAC in 2019, he went up on stage and performed a song and then got a photo taken, which is also on his social media with none other than Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Gilfoyle. And let's remember, the first accusation of of sexually abusing a minor was from 2014. So in 2019, he's up on stage at CPAC singing a song, taking pictures with Trump family members. And now he could spend the next 25 years in jail. Now, his father, 'cause this guy was just, you know, like the, the pastor in training, I don't know what they call it. But anyway, his father is the senior pastor at the church, and the church says, oh my God, this is horrible.

They suspended him with pay while the investigation was pending, and then a little while later, they went ahead and fired him. But at least he got pay for the time he was suspended, being investigated for sexually abusing children. We're still gonna pay. You, just don't come in Jesus Christ. Seriously. where is Jesus Christ on this issue? But that may be blasphemous. My apologies again, what if Republicans told us for years Now it's the drag queens we gotta worry about. They're the ones corrupt in our youth. They're the threat. It's the transgender people using the bathrooms. They want to go in there and sexually assault people. Nope. Typically,

All roads lead back to the church. And it doesn't matter what denomination you are either. There's reports from all of them, more so than any other institution in the United States. There's a problem with organized religion here in this country. Okay? It's not just a MAGA problem either. But once again, I have to point out, Republicans have been trying to distract us by claiming that drag queens or even trans, uh, transgender individuals are the ones we need to worry about corrupting our kids. Nope, I think it's the ones in the MAGA hats. I think it's the ones talking to us from the pulpit. Those are the ones who repeatedly are caught doing this to children, or at the very least accused of doing this to children. As in the case of Mr. Radcliffe, he has not had a trial. He has not been convicted. We will pay close attention when we get to that point. Right now, he is just accused. Of course he has been arraigned. But this I think is an important story and it's one that I'm sure every Republican in the country is going to completely ignore.
