‘It Defies All Belief’: House Dems Block Measure Increasing Penalties for Child Sex Traffickers

House Democrats appear to be unconcerned about the optics of shutting down an effort to increase penalties for child sex traffickers in an election year.

On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee unanimously shot down such a measure.

“A question about his amendment first,” Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) said. “I want to thank Mr. Roy for this common sense amendment that deals with the overall issue, as opposed to trying to piecemeal this out. And I suspect we won’t deal with the overall issue if we continue to piecemeal this out.”

“But Mr. Roy, can you think of any circumstance in which an individual induces, coerces, controls a child and forces that child into the sex trade, where that individual, that defendant, that criminal doesn’t deserve 15 years in prison?” Buck asked.

“I cannot, no,” Congressman Chip Roy (R-NC) answered. “I can appreciate the question from the gentleman. He is, too, a former prosecutor who prosecuted for a lot longer than I did. And I appreciate his recognition of that truth.”

It does NOT defy belief.

They don’t work for you, or I, or We The People.

If you are still surprised by anything you see, then your point of view is really off.

What are you and yours doing to get ready and have a team locally? That’s it. Don’t want to hear about the midterms or 2024 or whoever the billionaire of the week is that people want to believe is like Bruce Wayne and is gonna save them. Leave the comic books to the comic books. We live in a real world and it is in our faces every day.
