Trigger warning—the diary below references a story that mentions child sexual abuse. There are also a few choice cuss words, for those who don’t like swearing.
In yet another example of the GOP’s descent into foaming at the mouth misogyny, Missouri Senate candidate Mark McCloskey stated at a forum held in Osage Beach, MO that he thinks it is acceptable to force underage victims of incest to have the child of the pedophile who attacked them should she become pregnant.
McCloskey is the same racist asshole who, along with his wife, infamously waved firearms at racial justice protesters last summer. He now seeks Roy Blunt’s seat, who has chosen not to run for a third term. I would be willing to bet that since he is a grade-A scumbag he will probably be the one to get Trump’s endorsement.
Ain’t it funny how most racists are also rabid misogynists? I will never understand how any woman can support a racist candidate, because even if you are a well to do white woman, they are going to screw you over too. There is no benefit to women to promote the interests of racists for this reason—I wish more women understood that.
McCloskey, a person injury lawyer from St. Louis, also claimed that he has a current client who was a 13 year old victim of incest who chose to keep her attacker’s baby. If this is even true, you have to wonder what kind of brainwashing this child was subjected to in order to convince her to willingly (if it was even truly willing) have her rapist’s baby.
This man---like many forced birther extremists—shows absolutely no concern for the fact that forcing a very young girl to carry a pregnancy to term could be extremely dangerous to her health—not to mention the fact that she is far more likely to suffer life-long mental health problems as a result of being forced to have a child by a pedophile—on top of the problems that being sexually abused as a child can cause a person anyway. He does not care that he has doomed her to a life of poverty. He does not care if her life is completely destroyed—because according to people like him, the life a of a little girl is less important than being able to force their misogynistic religious beliefs down the throats of all women and girls—the Constitution be damned.
As a mother, I cannot fathom any parent who could look their little girl in the eye and say to them—“Sorry, sweetheart, I know it is bad that you were raped, but now that you are pregnant, you have to have your rapist’s baby!” What kind of evil—hearted person could force any little girl to have a baby by a rapist? I know one thing—if my girls were still underage, I would not knowingly leave them alone and unsupervised with somebody like that. Also, if one of my girls ever became pregnant as a result of a rape, I would move heaven and earth to help them get an abortion.
So fuck this racist shithead straight to hell, and fuck any deranged monster like him who would force a little girl to have a baby by a pedophile.
A number of Democrats have been lining up to run for Blunt’s seat—it is unclear at this time which one has the most promise. But I will be damn sure to donate every penny to them that I can, especially if McCloskey wins the primary.
