🧵 1/
Someone has gone through and run the numbers on molestation crimes against children.
67% of politicians accused or convicted of child abuse nationwide were Republicans.
QAnon needs to look in the mirror.
Out of nearly 11,000 USA cases examined, just 1 offender was a drag queen. Only 5 were trans. 846 were religious figures. 301 were police.

2/ It's further worth noting that Republican-dominated states are the only states in the US with both: 1) lowered age of consent laws, and 2) lowered marriage age laws.
The Republican state of KS has a consent age of 15 and a marriage age of 16. California has an age of consent of 18 but no minimum marriage age. Mississippi has a 16 consent age and no marriage minimum.
Far-right Christians are infamous for grooming children (especially young girls) to become servant wives for much older men.
3/ The very easiest way to "protect the children" would be to support raising the marriage age to 18 and also having that be the age of consent. But right-wing Republicans constantly resist these simple reforms that absolutely do help children.
And we all know why.
Far-right Christians (men and women) want to enslave teen girls into marriages with older men.
This is why Republicans won't abolish child marriage.
