Pritt was initially elected to the state House as a Democrat in 2022 but changed his political affiliation to Republican the year after. Republican Party chair Elgine McArdle said in a statement that Pritt had realized that the “Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.”
State Republicans have filed numerous bills seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender minors, ban trans student-athletes from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity, and nullify cities’ non-discrimination ordinances.
In 2023, Pritt voted for a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. State Sen. Mike Azinger ® said that the bill was needed because gender is “self-evident” and that the bill was needed to stop doctors who want to “chop up a child,” even though gender affirming surgery is almost never performed on minors and the bill banned non-surgical interventions.
Why is it always the ones you most suspect?
PEDO PARTY
If Dems were good at messaging, which they aren’t, they’d blast this everywhere imaginable to make the name really stick.
If Republicans can make the public believe Haitian immigrants were cooking and eating people’s pets then Dems can make people believe something that’s pretty obvious at this point.
In this case it definitely wasn’t the quiet one.
Christ, what a piece of crap human being.
"Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.”
Joins the Republican party and rapes kids.
“having sex with”
Nope, he raped a child.
At least they didn’t go with the newest “ugh” term - “underage woman”. If she’s underage, she’s not a woman
They always do that!!! It’s got to be some legal thing like it’s alleged and not proven to be rape?
I don’t know.
“Pritt had realized that the “Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.”
Not the glaze the Democrats, but I’m assuming this guy is Gen X or elder Millennial. All the Dems have done since the 80s/90s have done is move left on social services/regulation (slowly) and become more inclusive.
Today’s Dems are objectively better than the era his parents grew up with.
GOP = Gaslight, Obstruct, Project
I just sent this to their contact us page.
This article https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/gop-lawmaker-arrested-after-allegedly-having-with-middle-schooler-in-a-classroom/ Titled as “allegedly having sex with middle schooler” is trash rape culture wording. You cannot “have sex” with a child. That is rape. Period, Your readers expect better than to white wash crimes against children like this. Statutory rape is rape. Sex with a child is rape. There is no consent, and thus, no obligation for you to sugar coat article wording like this. Please do better.
They changed it to ‘allegedly sexually abusing.’
Good. Maybe the commenters in here arguing that it’s more accurate to describe this crime as consensual sex can shove it now.
Edit: ugh, they changed the title but kept “sex” in the body of the article.
I sent a message through their contact page as well. Thank you. I hope they respond appropriately.
I’m surprised they allowed this to be published as is considering the source.
They forget the part where you need to be filthy rich to get away with this.
Or a priest.
Those troubled teen places
Oh would you look at that? Once again it’s not a trans person, gay person or a drag queen.
There are many times I wish people would resist arrest, this is one of those times
Man, thats why you gotta watch these kids when they’re on games like Roblox. Pedos are always lurking.
5’3” damn little rascals
