House Freedom Caucus Member Ken Buck On Trump Indictment: I Won’t Support His Campaign If He’s Convicted

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), a member of the pro-Trump House Freedom Caucus, said during an interview on Tuesday that he will not support former President Donald Trump’s campaign if a court convicts him of the charges contained in the federal indictment against him.

Buck’s comments come as Trump appeared before federal Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman in the Southern District of Florida on Tuesday where he pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts for his alleged retention of national defense information, his alleged attempts to obstruct the investigation, and for allegedly lying to investigators.

Buck, who is a former federal prosecutor, said that the allegations in the indictment were “very serious” and that the prosecutors in the case went into great detail to explain to the American public why they believe that the indictment was necessary.

Buck said that he was concerned about equal treatment under the law in the case because Democrats like Hillary Clinton engaged in similar conduct as the former president, but did not face an indictment.

When asked during a CNN interview if he would feel comfortable with Trump as president again given the allegations contained in the indictment, Buck said, “I would not feel comfortable with a convicted felon in the White House, so we’ll see how the case plays out and we’ll see how the evidence is presented and what the defenses are.”

“But let’s just look at Donald Trump’s words in 2016,” he continued. “He said that Hillary Clinton was unfit for the White House because of the way she handled classified information. He said that she wasn’t even qualified to have a low-level State Department job because of the way she handled information. So I think his words have set the standard that America will look at in determining whether he is fit for president.”

Buck noted that Trump was “innocent until proven guilty” and that “after the trial, if he’s convicted of these charges, of mishandling this information, of knowingly concealing his actions, I certainly won’t support a convicted felon for the White House.”

Buck said that Trump could be facing a third criminal indictment in the near future and that the indictments will have a significant impact on the voters in the middle who determine the outcome of elections.

Kids Cartoon ‘We Baby Bears’ To Introduce ‘They/Them’ Pronouns In New Episode

Cartoon network’s “We Baby Bears” kids cartoon plans to introduce school aged kids to gender ideology in an upcoming episode that includes non-binary characters who go by “they/them” pronouns.

The cartoon — that is described for ages 6 and up — will air “Polly’s New Crew” during Pride Month with its “LGBTQ inclusive episode,” GLAAD reported.

The piece noted that some friends arrive to help reunite with their old pal Polly the Pirate Captain who is under the effect of a pirate curse and needs their help.

“I am the great Winnifred, she/her. Actor extraordinaire!” one character said.

“Our crew also has a new addition,” one bear said. “Meet Box! They use they/them pronouns and they make an exceptionally good quiche!” Polly the captain then replied, “I use they/them pronouns as well!”

News of the episode drew a backlash on social media for introducing kids to the this language.

“New episode of [cartoonnetwork’s] kid’s show “We Baby Bears” introduces non-binary characters who go by they/them pronouns,” Libs of TikTok tweeted. “They’re after your kids.”

It is not the first time the children’s cartoon has included an episode dealing with LGBTQ language. Last month, it released an episode featuring trans-identifying male activist Dominique Jackson.

The network also defended it by sharing in a statement, “During the production of ‘We Baby Bears,’ a few crew members came out with they/them pronouns, and we felt that it was important to reflect that in the show.”

“Our show team values representation because it’s something everybody on the show deeply cares about, and that’s why we aim to cast LGBTQ talent like Alok Vaid-Menon, Harvey Guillén, and Dominique Jackson,” the statement added.

The gender ideology push and targeting of kids seems to be coming from everywhere these days including company’s families used to feel they could trust their kids to watch like Nickelodeon.

In 2021, the network released a YouTube video on its “Blue’s Clues & You” channel titled, “The Blue’s Clues Pride Parade Sing-Along Ft. Nina West.” The video featured transgender characters like cartoon beavers with mastectomy scars.
