If it wasn’t enough that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson had to face criticism from Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee this week about the sentences she imposed on those convicted of possessing child pornography, now a woman whose husband allegedly flashed his penis at an underage girl is trying to suggest that Judge Jackson is part of a larger conspiracy inside the Democratic party.
On Friday, police in Maine arrested former independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler on child porn charges:
Prominent Maine political figure Eliot Cutler was arrested Friday on child pornography charges.
Cutler is facing four counts of possession of unlawful sexually explicit materials Class C, which means subjects are younger than 12-years-old, Matthew J. Foster, district attorney for Hancock and Washington counties, told NEWS CENTER Maine.
Even though Judge Jackson has absolutely no connection to Cutler, that didn’t stop Boebert from tweeting out this disgusting tidbit:
“A well known Democrat megadonor in Maine was arrested on… …You guessed it! Child pornography charges! The reason KJB was picked becomes more and more obvious as the days go on.”
As Jamelle Bouie noted in the New York Times, such specious allegations by Republicans are no accident:
“The belief that Democrats are pedophiles — and that at its top levels the Democratic Party is an elaborate pedophilia ring — looms large in the QAnon conspiracy theory, which is something like orthodoxy for a substantial portion of the Republican base. In a poll taken just before the 2020 election, half of Donald Trump supporters agreed that ‘top Democrats are involved in elite child sex-trafficking rings.’ And in a poll taken last year by the Public Religion Research Institute, 15 percent of Americans say that ‘the levers of power are controlled by a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles.'”
Twitter wasted no time calling out Boebert for her bullshit and blatant hypocrisy:
