Andrew Johnson offers a far less flattering reality: a pardoned Capitol rioter now preparing to stand trial on child molestation charges in Florida.

Johnson, 44, is scheduled to face a criminal trial on February 9 in Hernando County, Florida, stemming from allegations that he molested a victim over the course of several months beginning in 2024. His arrest came in July, nearly six months after Trump issued sweeping pardons to more than 1,500 defendants tied to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Advertising customers tend to be companies, and those tend to be run by Republicans due to the near requirement for a lack of empathy to succeed in modern business.

The fact they take everything personally is also the reason many are "attacks" on companies (basic consumer/employee protections) as attacks against them personally.
