A Republican South Carolina House member who prosecutors say used the screen name “joebidennnn69” has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children.

RJ May was arrested Wednesday at his Lexington County home after a lengthy investigation and is scheduled to appear in federal court on Thursday.

An indictment says the three-term Republican used several online names including “joebidennnn69” to exchange files on the Kik social media network.

    Reminder: not a democrat, not a drag queen, not a trans athlete, not a black man, not an immigrant, just normal republican behavior.

    It’s always the ones you most expect. Also, LOL at the username. These people have Biden Derangement Syndrome much like they had Obama Derangement Syndrome much like they had Clinton Derangement Syndrome etc.

      It’s so annoying to go onto some site not related to politics and see a bunch of people using political usernames. Like, I’m just trying to unwind with some child porn and you gotta remind me about that stuff?

      Yep. I had to laugh at the asshole con politicians trying to proclaim “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as some kind of legal thing. As if calmly pointing out the problems with Tiny D is “derangement”.

      These are the people that were feverishly trying to find shit on the Clintons all during the 90s and ended up with a cum stain on a dress, FFS. The same dipsticks that think Obama owes them a long form birth certificate and that Joe ran for office “from his basement” and that he didn’t “really” win in 2020.

      They would know from fucking derangement. It’s always projection with these dumbasses.

    Is this supposed to be surprising? Or that he will lose his job? If anything his voters will love him even more…

    The Cons love that stuff.

    What’s fucking crazy is that this has been going on for a year; they found files last summer. And he’s been a sitting rep this whole fucking time!

    Edit: honestly, he’s a huge piece of shit, besides the CSAM material, just unpleasant all the time. I know some folks at the State House and they hated him.

    Wow, you’re telling me that a member of the party that actively tries to hide, deny, or justify sex crimes is actively participating in sex crimes? I’m shocked. Shocked, I say!

    Was this same dumbass ever spreading the Pizzagate/Qanon bullshit? I have to laugh about the idiots that actually believe in that stuff, because if anything, the GOP seems to have way too many amongst them to be talking about anything Hillary is doing out of the basement of a basementless pizza parlor.

    GOP = Gang of Perverts

    I mean yeah, they caught a predator and everyone is busy making memes about it, but the real injustice is that they never go after the ones creating these materials, the ones really abusing these children, the Epstein predators. No, they (CIA/FBI/US Govt) hush that up. ‘Look over there!’

      The only reason you know the name Epstein is because they went after him
