USA: Local judge and former president of foundation that runs ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ for children arrested on 7 counts of child pornography

Brett Blomme, Milwaukee Children's(Juvenile?) Court Judge and ex-President of Cream City Foundation, receiving endorsements from the LGBTQ Victory Fund, has several serious prison sentences looming for child pornography and violent media depicting children.

The people who are demanding liberalization and democratization seem to be working against the clock. It makes sense that those who wish to replace the original culture and values systems are doing so for more personal gains, regardless of their altruistic appeal to make room for alien values systems where once there existed homogeneous societies.

According to his LinkedIn page, Blomme was the president and CEO of the Cream City Foundation from July 2017 until August 2020, leaving that post when he was elected to serve as circuit court judge.
Cream City Foundation is a Milwaukee-based LGBTQ advocacy nonprofit organization that offers grants and scholarships. Its current president and CEO is Gary Balcerzak, who took the post when Blomme left in August 2020.
According to Jonathan Hamilt, the executive director Drag Queen Story Hour’s national umbrella organization, Cream City Foundation acted as a fiscal sponsor to DQSH’s Milwaukee chapter so that the group could give and receive money as a nonprofit organization. However, Hamilt said, DQSH Milwaukee operates as a separate entity.
In an emailed statement, Hamilt told Snopes that “DQSH Milwaukee has never been run by the Cream City Foundation nor Brett Blomme,” and neither Cream City Foundation nor Blomme have participated in planning, organizing, hosting or performing at any of DQSH Milwaukee’s events, Hamilt wrote.
“Brett has never held a title or position within our organization ever,” Hamilt added.

In the same way they try to claim every mass shooter is a "registered democrat" It's telling that the right's first response when someone is charged with a horrible crime is to immediately start trying to connect them to the enemy of the day.

Good catch on that really I was just going to look up recent stories on evangelical or catholic leaders involved in molestation and post them. Simple fact is no organization is free from people in the deviant range of individuals and to often they are otherwise perfectly normal appearing people.

So far as I know, nothing posted in the OP is untrue. Certain claims about the story may be inaccurate, but the alleged perpetrator was a former judge and former president of an LGBT organization which acted as a fiscal sponsor for "Drag Queen Story Time".

Correction: the OP's title is somewhat misleading.

So what is the point? I sure there have never been child sexual predators in the church err wait ...

Whataboutery.

Whataboutery.

The truth of the details of an individual case don't exclude that case from being used as a dog whistle by those with a particular axe to grind.

Using incidents that are scandalous but non-representative to direct popular anger is a particularly cheap and nasty tool that those on soap boxes across the political spectrum use... not to mention how often this particularly cheap and nasty tool is used in this forum.

So what is the point?

I'm guessing the point we're intended to reach is that LGBTQ people all molest children and therefore shouldn't have civil rights/should all be locked up/it's okay to attack them on sight.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Ya i mean so what that there's now been three pedophiles tied to this group and the UK twitter of the company is reposting phrases associated with the infamous Pedophile Information Exchange. Surely it's all coincidental.

Most people would assume the phrase is referring to the older gentleman in the picture. Because most people aren't constantly hunting for proof that anything and anyone they don't like or understand must be part of a vast worldwide pedophile conspiracy.

It is the headline of the news.

It would seem there is an indifference to criminal charges of LEFTists. People who are branded by the media as being opposed to the equality of all individuals must prove their innocence. I am certain everyone on planet Earth knows that American courts should function on the premise that one is innocent until proven guilty.

Rittenhouse is an example as one branded by the media for being opposed to the equality of all individuals. The example of indifference to criminal charges of LEFTists is the bike lock professor. The bike lock professor had nobody attacking him with skateboards and guns.

Nope, that's just the right desperately grasping for some of that sweet, sweet victimhood. Because believing the big mean world is out to get them is easier than admitting that their unhappiness comes from their own poor choices and taking some responsibility for their own lives.

Rittenhouse traveled out of state specifically because he was looking to murder some people. He could very well have killed someone you care about had they crossed his path and he assumed they were "LEFTists".

Dismissing scandalous incidents which don't conform to a particular narrative is equally dangerous. Real world harm is caused when political interests are prioritized over victims.

In this situation, has the scandal been shown to be representative of a systemic issue?

Potentially, but that isn't particularly relevant to my point. This thread evidences the propensity of some to deflect from, or out right dismiss, the entire case because it is viewed as politically inconvenient.

We don't really disagree here tho do we.

To reconcile our two viewpoints. There is a danger of scandalous cases being used as dog whistles by those who seek to gain by their non-representative salaciousness. And there are some who would seek to dismiss individual cases that don't fit their political narrative.

Looks like a recipe for responsible journalism if you ask me.

Because the other side doesn't do the exact same thing? we seen it recently with the Boulder shooting. Worse they automatically racially tie it when this kinda shootings happen, without any evidence.

I'm guessing the point we're intended to reach is that LGBTQ people all molest children and therefore shouldn't have civil rights/should all be locked up/it's okay to attack them on sight.

No, but then again what has LGBTQ civil rights have to do with putting children on drag contests? I suppose that is the point. There is civil rights, and then there is children in drag contests. Why conflating the two?

Haven't we already covered whataboutery in this thread?
