“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
Democrats have gone all-in on grooming children, it seems.
Of course, you’ve heard about the Woke opposition to Florida’s bill forbidding teachers from talking about sex to kids through the third grade.

You’ve heard about Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s decision to go easy on predators (and if not… click here!).
But now some Democrats seem to have taken the whole idea literally.
The latest Democrat to be caught up in child porn—who came within a hair’s breadth of becoming governor—didn’t just oppose a law or hand out a light sentence to another offender: Police say he downloaded child porn onto his computer.
His name is Eliot Cutler, and he was part of the political upper crust until he got arrested on March 25 for possessing child porn.
Matthew J. Foster, district attorney for Hancock and Washington counties, said his office got a tip that the prominent liberal politician was a child porn user and held a two-month investigation.
They searched Cutler’s two homes in Portland and Brooklin, Maine, where they found that they were looking for—and more.
Police who busted into his home on March 25 charged Cutler on four counts of possessing illegal sexual content featuring children under the age of 12.

But they say they found 10 images of child porn, so more charges could be coming.
It’s bad news for the 75-year-old Cutler, who served in the office of former Democratic senator and presidential hopeful Ed Muskie before he worked for President Jimmy Carter.
And he came within 10,000 votes of being governor of Maine.
In 2010 and 2014, Cutler ran for governor of Maine as an independent, because the Democratic Party’s candidate seemed hopeless. But there was no doubt where Cutler stood: He’s been a hardcore Democrat for most of his political life. Not only did he work for Democrats, but he gave them his money—bunches of it.
The Republican Party of Maine tweeted out the list of Democrats who have received donations from Cutler, and it’s a who’s who of the modern Left.
Who has received campaign funds from this accused kiddie porn user? President Joe Biden, who once told a crowd of children, “I love kids jumping on my lap.” Also Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the most left-wing member of Congress until the election of AOC.
Former President Barack Obama cashed Cutler’s checks.

After the police raid, Cutler retired from his position as part of the Board of Directions of the Lerner Foundation, which focuses on jobs. The president of the foundation pronounced himself not just disturbed but “deeply disturbed to learn about the serious accusations brought against Eliot Cutler.”
The group said that, coincidentally, his work with them had run out two days before his arrest. “His relationship with the Lerner Foundation terminated as of Wednesday, March 23, 2022.” What a stroke of luck!
But don’t cry for Cutler too long: He’s already out of jail.

He left the Hancock County Jail on Saturday after he posted $50,000 in bail.
If he’s convicted—at his trial, which starts in May—he could face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Experts say he won’t serve that long.
“Cutler most likely would be sentenced to a few years in prison, and would only have to serve a number of months of that time in prison followed by several years of probation,” reports the Bangor Daily News. “While state law outlines maximum sentences for the crime Cutler is accused of committing, a number of factors point to him spending a few months, not years, behind bars.”
“Those include a requirement that Maine judges consider similar cases and sentences imposed by other judges in crafting their own sentences, as well as Cutler’s lack of criminal history and the small number of images found on his electronic devices so far.”
The Democrats’ war on America’s children continues.
