Head of CPAC and chief organizer of the Brooks Brothers riots sexually assaults man

For a long time I found it extremely puzzling why so many right wing men seemed to believe that there were all these gay predators out there, just waiting to “groom” otherwise impeccably straight men and boys into “the homosexual lifestyle” if they could just get a couple of drinks into their victims first:

REPORT: Trump And Biden Admins Pressured Twitter To Suppress Critics Of COVID Narrative

The pressure campaign from the White House reportedly began during the Trump administration and continued into the Biden administration, according to Zweig. Both administrations “directly pressed Twitter executives to moderate the platform’s pandemic content according to their wishes,” Zweig said.

How the POW/MIA flag took over America: Have You Forgotten Him?

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PROMISED a return to normalcy, but one of its most telling acts of restoration passed with barely any comment. Early last year, the administration hoisted the POW/MIA flag above the White House, where it had flown for decades until Donald Trump abruptly relocated it to the South Lawn in 2020.

Cooper has a problem though: on November 20, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau admitted that he was never briefed about supposed Chinese-funded election candidates, doesn’t know their names (if they even exist) and only learned of the alleged Chinese election interference from media reports.
