News from the Pedophile Party: "The featured couple has created complications ... That's because Vernon Edwards--Patty's husband, who appears a few times in b-roll alongside her in the ad--is a registered sex offender."

Republicans love sex offenders.

Being in a campaign ad with a sex offender probably gained Swamy some additional votes.

Turds and SHRIMPdick are donating to his campaign.

@#2 ... Republicans love sex offenders. ...

While I would not go that far at this point.

What I do see is a vetting process that has gone awry, or may even be non-existent.

Stated differently, the vetting process (or lack thereof) failed miserably in the goals it should have striven to attain.

I mean, just look at the fmr Press Sec Zacharia. How in the world did she pass any manner of a vetting process?

To me, this all seems to indicate that MAGA politicians are more concerned about unfettered adulation of Pres Trump than competence for the position.

The president is a criminal who was found guilty of sexual assault.

Republicans love sexual assault.

I wondered if the headline was referring to the president.
