HIS GRANDCHILD. And how many times was poor Kia sitting next to her child rapist grandpa? He HAD been reported and nothing was done. Same with Trump child abusing family. THIS TIME, an adult cared and was a functioning, NORMAL human being. DeSantis knew and kept him in the COURTS WITH ACCESS.

Another child rapist in the Republican inner circle, from Florida. Caruso, court clerk, DeSantis friend, grandpa who molested and abused his GRANDCHILD. Documented, and the adults did nothing. The Pol-ICE, did nothing.

This is absolutely horrific for many reasons. The adult that did it, the relationship to the victim, the adults that knew, the governor that gave him a JOB IN THE COURTS meaning he would have access to filings of evidence, etc. CHILD IS UNDER 12, A RAPIST REPULSICAN, JUST LIKE TRUMP. DeSantis knew

In early August, ICE revealed plans to purchase $20 million worth of electric-shock gloves. Police departments, jails, and even school resource officers across the country have used the gloves for years—though human rights groups like Amnesty International say they’re “readily misused for torture.”
motherjones.com
Cops love ICE's new shock gloves. Parents want them out of schools.
Omaha requested 40 pairs of the gloves for just under $66,000 in 2025.

Yes. It was. Trump is a convicted felon. He has been found guilty of sexual assault, he IS a child rapist (or he would have sued,) and there is no reason to support cruel policies that involve PRIVATE prisons with no access or remedy. They voted to support corruption, that is the reality. Disgusting

In recent years, "Republicans" have devolved from respect and support of our Constitution and rights into the very fascism Americans defeated in WW2. Eisenhower would be sad and amazed by this. Save the USA by voting FOR Democrats at every level. We'll end corporatist Democrat careers afterward.
