Ron DeSantis campaign suggests Joe Biden is a child molester for supporting LGBTQ+ equality

[icymist]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) campaign released a video that implies that President Joe Biden is a child molester, citing his support for LGBTQ+ equality as evidence.

The video – which the DeSantis War Room account on Twitter captioned “Keep your hands off kids” – shows some awkward footage of Biden getting pictures taken with groups, some of which included children. The footage is played slowly with scary music in the background to add to the suggestion that the videos show something inappropriate.

In the voiceover, quotes from Biden and Biden administration officials about the importance of supporting children are played to illustrate the point that Biden loves children… in the wrong way. Some of the quotes are played with distorted voices to handwave past the fact that nothing alarming is being said.

...DeSantis has also long used accusations of child sex abuse to attack political opponents. Last year, when his administration was promoting the Don’t Say Gay bill that effectively banned talking about LGBTQ+ people in younger grades and restricted discussions of them in older grades, DeSantis’s press secretary said that anyone who opposed the bill was a pedophile.

1. DeFascist is truly sick

by extension, he is suggesting that ALL of us in solidarity with LGBTQ folk support child molestation

FUCK THAT HATEFUL BIGOT

[Deuxcents]

2. They sure do like wallowing in the mud, don't they?

Biden will slap back hard and fast. And so will we

3. Tarnishing an opponent, a party, a group, and 10% of the population all in one throw!

About as low as demonizing can get

4. That's a pretty big paint brush desantis has.

It appears that anyone supporting LGBTQ+ must be a child molester. And how the hell does someone equate supporting LBGTQ+ equality to child molestation. That's one hell of a wide and false net.

5. These are terrible people.

Not only are all LGBTQ people accused of being pedophiles, the people who don't hate and oppose LGBTQ people are also deemed to be pedophiles. The actual pedophiles, the guys getting arrested almost every damn day for child molestation and porn? Youth pastors, priests, scout leaders, coaches - your nice Christian next-door neighbor who takes the Cub scouts on camping trips or "counsels" teenagers at their church or checks them out in the shower after a game at school.

6. Here's your child molester.

Poor Ivanka. Ugh. Gross, he even had her doing a lap dance for him. Eeeew.

7. He won't be the nom

He won’t even win re-election in Fl. Disney is going to bury him in an unmarked grave. His political career is over.

We need to stop spreading his messages.

8. Are you saying that we shouldn't report on how this guy is running his campaign?

Or the accusations he throws out or manufactures?

10. Do what ya wish.

I’m just sayin, maybe if CNN hadn’t spent every day in 2015-2016 reporting on tfg, and broadcasting every hate rally he had for ratings, maybe we’d be in a different place right now.

I’m just suggesting these fucks shouldn’t be given a platform to promote hate to gain power.

It’s proven it works. That’s why they do it. The crazier the comment they make, the more it gets retransmitted, and the more uneducated minds are persuaded.
It’s the same way you sell Big Macs, and penis pills.
Eventually, you don’t even have to advertise.
Deathsantis is branding atm, and hoping tfg dies, or is sent to prison for life.

13. Ron, why are you not going after actual republican/Christian child molesters as strongly?

Ron, why are you not going after actual republican/Christian child molesters as strongly?

This is why republicans use the drag queen/LHGTQ/transgender issue as a distraction from their own values and morals.

14. It's the Republicans' routine slander these days.

Calling people commies hasn't worked for a while.
