DeSantis Having First South Carolina Event With State Senator Arrested For Molesting His 3 Year Old Son
2023-04-20
[Laura Loomer] On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, just one day after he was hosted in Washington DC by the Heritage Foundation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is scheduled to make his first appearance in South Carolina, but his entrance into the key-early primary start is already off to a rocky start.

DeSantis will be speaking at Spartanburg at First Baptist North Spartanburg on Asheville Highway at an event scheduled to begin at 7 p.m, but doors open at 5:30 p.m.

DeSantis was invited to speak in South Carolina by State Senator Josh Kimbrell.

Joshua Kimbrell is currently a South Carolina State Senator, representing District 11. He was elected in November 2020....

I have confirmed that Sen. Josh Kimbrell was arrested on October 14, 2014 and charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under the age of eleven. He was accused of fondling and committing other sexual acts against his three-year-old son, and was held behind bars without bond. Supporters of Kimbrell came to his defense, and he blamed the charges on his ex-wife, Kacy Kimbrell.
Yup, they'll do that
The charges were eventually dropped by the Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor, Walt Wilkins, in February 2015, four months after Kimbrell’s initial arrest. Wilkins stated, "Upon receiving this case from the Greenville Police Department and completing an investigation spanning almost four months, my office has determined that there is insufficient evidence to prove the elements of this crime beyond a reasonable doubt."

However, the Greenville Police argued otherwise, and released a statement supporting their decision to arrest Josh Kimbrell, and the charges filed against him. Greenville Police, which made the initial arrest, also put out a statement and stood by their decision to arrest Kimbrell. "We understand that the solicitor's office has declined to prosecute the case against Josh Kimbrell. However we stand by the fact that probable cause was established to obtain the warrant for Kimbrell's arrest."...

It is also worth noting that DeSantis’s scheduled event in South Carolina with Kimbrell comes one day after the Daily Mail confirmed my reporting from December 2022 about how DeSantis’s admitted best friend, and one of his donors named Kent Stermon was under investigation for sex with a minor at the time he committed suicide.
It's about time the DeSantis hit pieces started to show up in earnest.

#4  What more does Trump want? Even with his ego (and, yes, he got screwed in the 2020 election), he's checked the block that only 45 others have ever done...can't go higher than that. Just stop, Donny.

#2  Wish him and Trump could bury the hatchet.

Trump as President for 1 term and DeSantis following up for 2 more terms as President might eliminate a lot of the LSD / Deep State Anti-USA agenda 5th column.
