Ronny Jackson Receives Brutal Fact-Check Over Lie About Katie Porter

By Conover Kennard — December 15, 2022

A lie started circulating quickly on social media about Rep. Katie Porter, claiming that the Democratic lawyer said pedophilia isn't a crime. Rep. Ronny Jackson tweeted that Porter is the "embodiment of evil." Porter was talking about people on social media (Trump supporters) labeling LGBTQ individuals as pedos and groomers because of their sexual orientation.

CNN's Daniel Dale took Rep. Drunky McDrunkFace to task for lying about what Porter said.

Absolutely not what Porter said. The transcript clearly shows she was arguing that LGBTQ people are *falsely* called groomers and pedophiles on social media merely because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. She did not defend pedophilia. https://t.co/35SfSiEQuN pic.twitter.com/MAkRoF4JUo

Libs of TikTok, a noxious woman who is highly transphobic and homophobic, did the same thing. Even some of her supporters called her out. And she inadvertently proved Porter's point.

Her followers called her out.

I'm a free speech absolutist, but I'm not a fan of dishonesty. That's not what she said at all. She said the implication that someone IS a pedophile based solely on their sexual orientation is harmful - and of course it is.

I like Libs of TikTok, 100% against groomers and pedophiles, but that's not what she said.

I didn't hear where she said pedophilia isn't a crime. Can somebody respond with the timestamp where it starts?

Others called her out, too.

You deliberately cut out the start of her sentence to make it seem like that is what she was saying, but still anyone with half a brain can tell what she's actually talking about. This is a pathetic post. https://t.co/ReCffet6wt

Baldfaced lying is always a prominent feature of right-wing stochastic terrorism/eliminationism. Chaya Raichik, as you can see from viewing the video, is a liar. A vicious one. https://t.co/11zwf2LxAq

Why do you @libsoftiktok have to lie so blatantly? I guess you hope your followers won't bother watching the video. https://t.co/H2yUkYo93F

John is right. That's precisely what she was doing. The TikTok lady knows that Trump supporters will believe a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g without doing even a little research. I have an account on Truth Social. I admit that I use it to annoy people because I'm obnoxious like that, but the second I opened that account, I was flooded with people calling me a groomer or a pedo. It happens every single day there.

So, it's not just the LGBTQ+ community. Trumpers have spread that lie to include anyone that doesn't agree with them -- because Democrats support gay rights. It's harmful and dangerous rhetoric. And it's kind of bizarre to see that the first thing Truth Social users do in the morning is to think about pedophilia. They should all have their browsing history checked, including the TikTok lady.
