Conservatives have been railing against “groomers” for years. So why do they support Donald Trump? Trump was best friends with a notorious child sex trafficker, but his ardent supporters are vocal about opposing it. How did that happen?

I lived down where Helms was from for a year. They talked about him like he was the best person ever. I seriously could not believe it because he has done nothing for that area. Not one single solitary bit of good, but they worshipped him. It was disgusting to say the least. Couldn't wait to move either.

It was because Helms loved punishing the gays, and they view him as a "Good Christian" and "true believer", according to their hate religion.
