8:37Now PlayingReid Rasner is a gay Republican running for Congress in Wyoming. He's suing members of his own party — a former state senator and an Iowa activist — for allegedly branding him a pedophile in a whisper campaign that he says produced death threats.
His own side reached for the oldest slur in their playbook, the one they've spent years aiming at drag performers, teachers, and trans kids. And weeks earlier, Rasner himself shared a video endorsing "the ultimate punishment" for anyone convicted of pedophilia, and called gender-affirming care for trans kids "child abuse."
This isn't a sympathy story. It's what happens when you help build a machine designed to destroy people just like you.
