A South Carolina Republican lawmaker — who once preached about the importance of safeguarding children from unnecessary harm — is accused of distributing more than 200 files of child pornography online while using the screen name “joebidennnn69,” federal prosecutors alleged.

Robert “RJ” May, 38, a member of the House of Representatives in the Palmetto State, was arrested at his Lexington County home Wednesday on a 10-count indictment charging him with distributing child sex abuse material, court documents showed.

The married father of two used “joebidennnn69” and several other user names to exchange 220 obscene files containing extremely graphic footage of children and toddlers engaged in sex acts on the messaging app Kik over five days last spring, federal prosecutors alleged.

    I just NEED all the liberals and centrists to remember shit like this anytime the right tries to get righteous about protecting children or claiming minority groups are grooming kids etc.

    They literally don’t give a shit about harm to kids, thir “team” are the worst perpetrators of it and they don’t hold them accountable in the slightest.

      it’s ALWAYS projection with them. They don’t give two shits about kids, or women, they just use them as excuses to persecute whomever is on their culture war bullshit list
