The longest-serving state senator in North Dakota history has been indicted on federal charges related to child pornography.
Ray Holmberg, a Republican who resigned last spring, was charged in an indictment unsealed Monday with travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual activity and receipt of child pornography after investigators showed he traded scores of text messages with a convicted sex offender, reported KFGO-TV.
I think they’re important to make it obvious the kind of people we have in power - for both parties
Of course, remove ALL corruption and evil, but there’s only one party that consistently tries to hide it or pretend it was acceptable.
Yup. Biggest difference between the two parties is R’s will staunchly defend their shitheads while D’s want to purge them
I’ve seen similar things said numerous times, but is there anything that indicates that the “people we have in power” are any more or less likely to commit sex crimes against children?
The rate compared to the general population may or may not be similar. What’s important, though, is how a system of protection has been built around them. To reference a related problem, the number of Catholic priests who abused children is ultimately a small group, but the Church itself hid the facts and fostered an environment where they could keep abusing children. The whole Church is therefore accountable. Same with political systems.
What I hear is that there is a large group of people in the government protecting pedophiles. Do we have any evidence of this?
