For years, Republicans have accused teachers, librarians, LGBTQ Americans, and political opponents of threatening children. But what happens when those accusations collide with disturbing scandals involving members of their own party? In this episode of Under the Radar, Mary exposes the hypocrisy behind the GOP's child protection rhetoric, beginning with a controversial campaign ad from California Republican Steve Hilton, criminal cases involving former Republican lawmakers Justin Eichorn and RJ May III, federal charges against former West Virginia legislator David Pritt, and the disgrace of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert. And then there's Donald Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein files. Journalist Katie Phang is challenging the Justice Department over withheld records, including FBI interview materials containing unproven allegations against Donald Trump. Republicans have spent years pointing fingers at everyone else. Now the scrutiny is turning toward their own ranks, raising serious questions about hypocrisy, transparency, and accountability.
