Yes, it was a Republican, in case anyone else was curious.

Least surprising revelation ever.
Not a drag queen? Shocking.

If it wasn't we'd have heard about it from everyone who watches Fox News.
Defences may include: Fake news!, fraud, I was just doing my own investigation, I made a poor judgment and have now turned to god.
So how does traveling outside a country for the purpose of breaking its laws where those laws aren't on the books work?
This feels like a more disgusting form of the same idea behind offshoring jobs and bank accounts. "Well see it is legal over here so fuck you lawman!"
As an American citizen, you are subject to its laws, even abroad.
Even if its legal for citizens of Z to do X in country Z, If you get caught doing it and come back to America, where X is illegal, you will be arrested for doing X.
AFAIK, This is really only gone after for major drugs and sex crimes. As long as you're not stupid enough to announce it to the customs agents, or posted videos of you doing it all over the internet and draw massive attention to yourself, no one will typically care if you ate a pot brownie in Amsterdam
We should be extraditing him to the country where he broke the law. If it's legal over there, well.. that's shit and we should put pressure on them to change that.
But, while his actions are completely morally repugnant and he should be removed from society, I'm not clear on what law he broke in the US.
Maybe it's illegal to travel through federal land (airports) with the intent to rape? But if that's the case, we may need to shut down our military airports.
There is a law in the US that says if it's a crime at home, you can't do it abroad either.
Which really seems like an overreach, but I can see why they'd use it for stuff like this.
You'd think corporations would fall afoul of this constantly. But I bet it only applies to people
I think it'd be more seen as a violation of trafficking laws, it's fundamentally the same act and intent as bringing a sex slave into the US, just going the other direction.
Wildly tangential, but did you know the military actually has their own vacation airport and hotel service? Like they get their own airline and everything, fuckin' wild.
Oooh, that might be it. I hope they get him
easy, you write a law saying that's illegal, then you enforce it when they come back.
Pedos gonna pedo
Those damn DRAG QUEENS are at it again!
