Hey everyone, an expert! Gather around!
The "far-right" is obsessed with sex trafficking, according to Politico. Remember how they all turned out to make "Sound of Freedom" a box office hit? Rolling Stone was depressed by this and called the film "a 'superhero movie for dads with brainworms.'" The Guardian's movie critic wrote, "These zestier strains of scaremongering are absent in the text itself, but they lurk in the shadows around a film outwardly non-insane enough to lure in the persuadable; the disappointingly un-juicy Sound of Freedom pretends to be a real movie, like a 'pregnancy crisis center' masquerading as a bona fide health clinic." Vox's headline: "The right-wing child trafficking movie taking over theaters and creating its own conspiracy theories."
A couple of weeks after Vox published that piece, the FBI announced it had found 200 sex trafficking victims and more than 125 suspects during a two-week child exploitation operation in July.
In any case, Politico is looking into MAGA's obsession with child sex trafficking while putting the "Epstein list" in quotation marks for some reason. A judge unsealed the list. It's real.

Is it because they keep turning out to be true

Blue Anon is now spreading the unfounded conspiracy theory that Epstein himself is a conspiracy theory? Kind of sketchy!

“Conspiracy theories” which are currently under federal investigation?

You guys think its a conspiracy that Epstein had clients?

And you wonder why no one trust you… Epstein‘a sex trafficking isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s been proven. Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for recruiting for him!

Someone wrote this article, someone approved it for publication, and someone posted it. The problem with lying as a business model is that it’s hard to keep competent employees

Did you not read the news THIS WEEK about Epstein's list coming out? These stories keep being true.

Wow, if this isn’t the most TELLING article.

Imagine TRYING to make MAGA look bad for caring about saving children from child trafficking.
You guys seem pretty damn defensive, BTW.
“Owning the cons” by downplaying sex-trafficking. Genius!

Why would there be conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein's suicide just because the security camera just happened to be not working when he killed himself and the guards who were supposed to be watching him weren't?
Man, I really was starting to think I hated corporate journalists enough. Turns out, there are no depths to which you won’t sink.

So Democrats don't care about sex trafficking because it's a conspiracy theory?
