Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, February 07, 2025

Aaron Craig Gleason, a former writer for The Federalist and Daily Wire " both right-wing news outlets " was arrested last month "for molesting a victim under the age of 12, according to Okaloosa, Florida jail records," Daily Dot reported Thursday. The irony in Gleason's crime, according to Daily Dot, is that in 2023, the ex-conservative pundit wrote a review published by The Federalist "about The Sound of Freedom, an indie hit and a favorite among right-wing circles." The plot of the film involves "a former government agent who is trying to save children from sex traffickers in Colombia," which Gleason made a point to highlight as a Republican, anti-LGBTQ writer. Daily Dot notes, in addition to being a writer, Gleason was also an educator, according to his now deleted LinkedIn account. "According to a local news site, he taught Bible at Rocky Bayou Christian School, which has two campuses in Florida," the news outlet reports.

If you are serious about going after the pedos, go after the churches.

I peak at The Federalist most days. They have some decent writers. I've never heard of this guy.
