The Clinton Derangement Syndrome at the Media Research Center never really ends. Take this April 29 post by Tierin-Rose Mandelburg that’s initially notable because she focuses on a church volunteer being involved in sexual misconduct rather than a public school employee:
An Arkansas teacher was arrested Wednesday for allegedly sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy she met at a church beginning in 2020.
Reagan Gray, a volunteer at the Immanuel Baptist Church, allegedly sent nude photos to the young boy after hunting down his cell number on the church’s WhatsApp group.
Gray, 26, was a teacher at the Little Rock Christian Academy and volunteered at the Immanuel Baptist Church. The boy didn’t attend the school, but was part of the church’s student ministry where Gray volunteered.
Then the Clinton derangement kicks in:
Oddly enough, former president Bill Clinton had once praised the church where Gray and her victim met. Back in 1993, Clinton, who was born in Arkansas and lived for a time in Little Rock, tearfully thanked the congregation just days before starting his first term as president.
“Were it not for this church…I believe it would be virtually impossible (that) I would be going to Washington next week as president. And I am absolutely certain I would be less prepared for the job,” Clinton told parishioners at the time.
Hate to say it but, with a man like Bill Clinton praising a congregation for his campaign success given his second term’s…er…less-than-“happy” ending, it’s not surprising that another alleged sexual abuser just cropped up in the same circle.
That’s right — Clinton made this abuse happen because he was once a member of this church. If Mandelburg can’t work in her most loathed targets, she’ll apparently just ignore a story. She has never, as near as we can tell, written about the longstanding culture of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
