Ben Gibson, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in November, was arrested in Louisiana this Wednesday and booked on four counts of child pornography, WGNO reports.

Gibson, who was an active Airman at Barksdale Air Force Base, was a challenger in a four-way race for the U.S. House Dist. 4 Congressional seat and lost to Rep. Mike Johnson, who won re-election. Jared Kutz, 30, of Bossier City was also arrested as a result of the investigation and charged with two counts of pornography.

As Media Matters pointed out in January, Gibson has endorsed the “QAnon” conspiracy theory, using its hashtag multiple times on his Facebook campaign page and other social media accounts. The QAnon cult believes that there’s an underground network of Satanic pedophiles who are being covertly pursued by President Trump.

1. QAnon was supposed to go after pedophiles. I get more and more numb to hypocrisy.

[dawg day]

2. There's a weird strain of child-porn promulgators in the Trump orbit (George Nader too)

Twisted-- QAnon is supposed to be about protecting the children from vampires and all that. I guess as twisted as it all is, makes sense that these sick people would be pretending to protect children when they are exploiting them.

6. It's all just projection.

[Wicked Blue]

9. Exactly! nt

[intheflow]

14. That's all any of them got. n/t

[Grokenstein]

18. AND distraction.

"Don't look at what I'M doing--go chase imaginary crimes over there instead!"

[Crunchy Frog]

3. People who obsess over child sex exploitation conspiracies

are probably involved in child sexual exploitation.

[Alex4Martinez]

4. Classic "you are guilty of what you accuse others of doing" stuff.

It never fails.

[Plectranthus]

5. Project, project, project......

It’s what they do

[58Sunliner]

7. Oh wait, nope, not surprised.

[dalton99a]

8. Kick

[Journeyman]

10. Probably claim it was research, trying to find out how the Democrats exploit children . . .

before they cannibalize them (or some such rot).

[Mister Ed]

12. Yep. To the QAnon cult, this will only prove that the Deep State is out to discredit him.

He must have been getting terribly close to unearthing some incredibly damning evidence against the Democrat Satanist Pedophile Cannibals.

[wnylib]

28. Actually, I think the QAnon cult members

will credit the orange traiter with discovering this guy's pedophilia and tipping off the right people to arrest him. They might throw in credit to the traiter in chief for the candidate's loss in November.

[CaptYossarian]

11. Maybe Epstein's girlfriend put out an online catalog.

[Stallion]

13. The Mug Shots Rarely Disappoint

[MagickMuffin]

15. #savethechildren from qanon

As always their projection is VERY telling!

[Auggie]

16. Would this mean time in a Louisiana prison?

[okaawhatever]

30. Article states he's in Air Force, so probably military brig. nt

[Texin]

17. Well, I guess it takes a "Satanic pedophile" to know a satanic pedophile.

[malachi]

19. If this came out before the election, he'd have

won the election.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

20. Maybe they are being covertly pursued by tRump.

He wants them on his team either as a player or a victim of his blackmail. Either way, they will do tRump's bidding in the end. Good thing he got caught and good thing he lost the election.

BTW, wonder what he's got on Lindsey Graham.
I wonder what he's got on the 106 members of Congress who signed on to the coup.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Because, Of Course

Perhaps Q is a smokescreen to cover the tracks of real pedophiles.
There is now at least one datapoint to support that, which is one more than they have.

[Salviati]

22. Projection. It never fails.

If you want to know what a republican is guilty of, just look at what they are accusing others of.

[usajumpedtheshark]

23. QAnon - a pathetic attempt at misdirection

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Was it Shakespeare

that said:

Me thinks thou doth protest to much........LOL

Two words that best describe RepubliCONs

PROJECTION

HYPOCRISY

AND THEIR MISSION STATEMENT IS: IF WE CAN'T DAZZLE THEM WITH BRILLIANCE, WE WILL BAFFLE THEM WITH BULLSHIT

[GoCubsGo]

24. If you ever want to know what GOPers are up to,

just look at what they accuse others of doing. It never fails.

[Wicked Blue]

29. Truth!

[plimsoll]

26. Where We Go One, We Go All?

I'm tempted to ask ugly questions, like "Would Michael Flynns pardon cover that?"

[WyattKansas]

27. Why are Republicans, Q-Anon freaks, and internet Christians NOT hounding the media, press, and...

Republican Party about the Pedophile Cabal they have embedded in the Deep State Pedophile Ring so many of them belong to?

How many times did the goddamned media REPEAT the same false accusations from Q-Anon freaks over and over the last year about the INNOCENT, while they are all silent about the real pedophile crimes involving Republicans and their torture Party?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

31. Of course. They need to look for signs of Satanism and cannibalism,

because these RW mfers always accuse others of what they themselves are doing.
