Young American couple doing missionary work are killed by gangs in Haiti
In case anyone was curious about what sort of politician has a daughter who's a full time missionary, yes he is exactly the cruel and corrupt grifter you'd expect, and a notably half assed one.
He introduced a bill to "regulate sexual content" in libraries, which he claimed was inspired by drag story hour, however drag story hours were not addressed in the bill.
He sponsored a bill to let parents sue schools if they don't like what their children are learning.
He's tried to pre-emptively block ranked-choice voting and forcibly de-transition adult prisoners as part of the "Missouri Child and Adolescent Protection Act."
My favourite is that he tried to pre-emptively block cities from banning pet store animals, at the request of Petland and others, after Petland was linked to bacterial infection outbreaks, puppy-mills and some fairly obvious cruelty. "He further acknowledged that he had not researched existing Missouri law on the matter." (per wikipedia)
If you're cruel or rich, Ben Baker's got your back.
Part of that RCV bill is also aimed at outlawing the current Approval Voting primaries they use in St. Louis. There's been interest in switching the entire state to approval, and Ben Baker just can't have that happen.
Couldn't have happened to a better person. It's a shame child protective services didn't intervene in time. Indoctrinating children is child abuse.
