Moms for Liberty honored this GOP Rep. He was just arrested for kiddie porn

June 12, 2025

Moms for Liberty (M4L), the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist hate group, reportedly honored South Carolina state Rep. RJ May as their 2023 Legislator of the Year and had him speak at their 2022 event on “Reclaiming Education in America.” May was just arrested this morning over nearly a dozen federal charges for distributing child sex abuse material — he has a wife and child.

May’s indictment is notable since M4L regularly seeks to ban LGBTQ+-inclusive children’s books as a form of “pornography” and regularly accuses LGBTQ+ people and their allies of “grooming” children for sexual abuse, a decades-old claim that inspires hatred and violence against queer people and their supporters.

The three-term, 38-year-old Republican allegedly used the screen name “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network during spring 2024, the Associated Press reported. He allegedly uploaded the explicit images and photos using his home wi-fi network and cellphone.

Prosecutors say May’s Kik account contained 265 child sex abuse videos, WISTV reported. Prosecutors also say that May “has a sexual interest in children the same age as his own children” and that he has “a sexual interest in incest” between young children and their parents. Because some of the images featured children the same age as his own child, prosecutors recommended he be held without bail until his trial.

Actually, w.t.f.

Such awful, evil, terrible, broken humans and they almost are always Republicans. Like 99.9%.

Had to get that out there. Instead, it’s just another slimy pervert using a cloak of ‘respectability’ to cover his nefarious actions and desires. When will people stop falling for these creeping jeebuses and their faux piety?

Don't know if that phrase is used any more, but by the time I was in my twenties, if that phrase came up about some guy, I began wondering what they were hiding. And yep, it was almost always some religious type being arrested for something.
