NEWS: MAGA influencer Craig Long has been arrested in a human trafficking and prostitution sting in Florida, along with Ryan Yates, a Trump supporter who pleaded guilty in Feb 2024 for his involvement in January 6. Long posted this photo with Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. just a few weeks ago.

According to CBS-affiliate 10 Tampa Bay, Long, 41, was a participant in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and is an influential MAGA influencer and strong supporter of President Donald Trump. He was sentenced to six months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but was released after Trump signed a blanket pardon for those who stormed the capitol on his first day back in the White House.

Is stinky going to pardon him again?

You don't have to be a Republican to be pedophile.

But it does seem like most pedophiles are republicans.

Better networking.

More perks.

Another J6 feral trumper was arrested during the same sting.

Another arrest highlighted by Judd was Ryan Yates of Odessa. Yates' arrest report was not available at the time of this report, but PCSO said he was caught on camera entering the undercover location (a hotel room), talking to the undercover detective and taking his pants off.

Yates was sentenced to six months in prison for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, in which supporters of President Trump stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Yates was later pardoned by the president.

Human trafficking?

That's what Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump did.

Things republicans claim to be against, but yet seem to dominate in the news:

1. Election fraud
2. Human traffickers
3. Sexual predators/abusers

Did I miss anything?
