  1. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

  4. I still remember the “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” from the Republicans when they pushed the Patriot Act.

    So much for that I guess.

  7. They are accessories after the fact to child sex trafficking and child rape. 
    The GOP is a decades-old RICO.

  10. Are we shocked that the people who turned their backs on Jesus for being ‘liberal’ are now protecting pedophiles?

  11. Columbia University records have recently been hacked and exposed. The Panama Papers were hacked and exposed. Bank accounts and big box stores have been hacked and their data exposed. But not the USA files from the Epstein and Maxwell prosecutions?!?

  13. If only we knew what high profile democrats the house republicans were trying to protect. /s

  14. Well, obviously. GOP stands for “Grand Old Pedos”, after all.

  15. Wonder how the conservative sub is spinning this one lol

  16. This totally makes sense for them to do 😆. How do you justify it as a lawmaker or a member of the party? I would love to hear the rationale. 🤡

  17. The only reason to vote to hide the list of pedophiles from America is if you’re on it

  18. Names of those that voted to block. Chip Roy (Texas R) did not vote. Ralph Norman (South Carolina R) actually voted with the Dems

    Virginia Foxx, North Carolina, Chair

    Michelle Fischbach, Minnesota

    Erin Houchin, Indiana

    Nick Langworthy, New York

    Austin Scott, Georgia

    Morgan Griffith, Virginia

    Brian Jack, Georgia

  20. Wow they’re really out here protecting kid touchers….

  21. Hmm… No mention of this in conservative subs, wonder why?

  22. And the echo chamber of r/conser will never mention this

  23. Trump: Obama, Hillary, and Biden wrote these files!

    Republicans: It’s their fault we voted this down, too!!!

  26. Dems would be pants on-head stupid to not let up the pressure on this. I’m so sick of Republicans handing over wins and Dems completely fumbling it.

  28. Republicans, always protecting pedophiles aka their own

  30. If there’s one thing Republicans love more than protecting Billionaires, it’s protecting pedophiles.

  31. What makes me think that the Conservative sub is quiet over this one?
