Andres Wilkinson

The Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to Andres Wilkinson for exposing the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Customer and Border Protection department.

From CBS News

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer is facing federal criminal charges over allegations he harbored an immigrant who officials say is in the country illegally and is also the officer's girlfriend and niece.

The Justice Department alleges that CBP officer and supervisor Andres Wilkinson was living in Laredo, Texas, with a woman who had overstayed her visa and is now in the U.S. illegally. The woman entered the U.S. on a temporary visa in August 2023, according to the criminal complaint filed earlier this month.

Wilkinson allegedly provided her "financial support, including housing, credit cards, assistance with financial obligations and access to vehicle," the Justice Department said. The criminal complaint states they traveled together through Border Patrol checkpoints near the Texas border.

The Justice Department said Wilkinson was "aware of her unlawful immigration status yet maintained a romantic relationship with her."

According to the complaint, officials collected information "indicating" that the woman is actually Wilkinson's niece, and that she's married to another man. But the complaint also says that her husband, who had filed a green card application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on her behalf in January 2024, canceled the petition in April 2025. A month later, the CBP Office of Professional Responsibility observed Wilkinson, the woman and her daughter together and investigated their relationship for months.

CBP OPR investigators found that the woman was the daughter of a man named J. Santos Garcia-Moreno, whom Wilkinson had listed as his brother in his 2023 background investigation. And when CBP OPR detained the woman in February 2026, she admitted she had been living with Wilkinson since August 2024.

Ralph Mincey

The Conservative Barf Bag Award today goes to Ralph Mincey.  The Committee reviewed his Facebook page and found it full of support for MAGA, piety, and self-pity.

From People magazine

Ralph Mincey, 63, was arrested on murder charges in connection with the deaths of his 57-year-old wife Jennifer Lynn Mincey and 37-year-old daughter Amanda Mincey McBrayer, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.  According to 911 recordings obtained by PEOPLE, Mincey called dispatch after the Wednesday, June 24[2026] shooting outside the home on Gauntt Road in Oxford[Georgia].  “My wife had told my daughter that I didn't take care of my mother and stuff and my daughter came over, her husband brought her over and all of a sudden it was like I'm not taking care of my mom, which I do every day, and I just shot my daughter and my wife of 38 years,” he said.  When the operator asked if they were still breathing, Mincey responded: “No, it don't look like it. It was nine-millimeter right straight to the head.”

Mincey, who was crying during the exchange, told the dispatcher, “I just couldn't handle no more of the f---ing lying and the way they were screaming at me. I just, I lost it. I'm so sorry. Thirty-eight years, I love her.” "We were gonna retire with over a million dollars,” he said.  McBrayer's husband, who also called 911, told dispatchers that he witnessed the shooting. "He shot my wife in the head point blank," he said. "I literally ran away because I have two kids I've got to protect, and I'm scared to go back up there," he said.  He told dispatchers that he brought his wife to her parents' home.  “My wife was drunk,” he said. “She was upset. She wanted me to bring her home. So, I brought her to her parents' house and then she got into it with her dad and her dad said, ‘I've got a gun. I've got a gun. I'm gonna pull the f---ing trigger.’ And he shot her in the head. And then he grabbed his wife by the throat, threw her down and threatened to kill her too. And he said, ‘I don't give a shit. I know I'm going to jail anyway.’”

Chavez-DeRemer

The Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to US Secretary of Labor Chavez-DeRemer for abuse of power.  Rather than be held accountable for the abuse, she threw two of her subordinates under the bus.  Her husband has been barred from entering the Labor Department to protect the women working there.

From Wikipedia

Chavez-DeRemer was sworn in as the 30th United States Secretary of Labor on March 11, 2025.

In August 2025, Chavez-DeRemer praised Trump for firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Erika McEntarfer, after the BLS published its July jobs report which showed poor jobs numbers. Economists and analysts across the political spectrum criticized Trump for firing the BLS head.

In January 2026, Chavez-DeRemer was the subject of an internal complaint accusing her of drinking alcohol in the workplace and engaging in an extramarital affair with a subordinate. Additionally, she was also accused of abusing her power to force aides to run personal errands on her behalf. According to a report in the New York Post, she was accused of directing her subordinates to create trips where she could spend personal time with friends and family. During an official trip to Portland, Oregon, Chavez-DeRemer took staff to a strip club on April 18, 2025. Two of Chavez-DeRemer's aides were placed on administrative leave due to their potential complicity in Chavez-DeRemer's alleged actions. In February 2026, her husband, Shawn DeRemer, was prohibited from the headquarters of the Labor Department, following allegations of sexual assault of at least two of the department's female employees.

Austin Smith

The Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to Arizona Republican Austin Smith, who has promoted himself as an “election integrity warrior.”  He has repeatedly blamed the Democrats for election fraud.  He has pled guilty to forging signatures on petitions to help him qualify for an election.  Of course, he declared the charges as politically motivated.

From Wikipedia

In 2023, he introduced a bill that passed the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona Senate to ban ranked choice voting in the State of Arizona. The measure will appear on the statewide Arizona ballot in November 2024. He is a member of the far-right Arizona Freedom Caucus in the Arizona House of Representatives.

Smith has long been an "election integrity warrior" and promoter of stolen election conspiracy theories, dismissing signature verification on Maricopa County ballots as "a joke". In April 2024 he withdrew his bid for reelection and resigned from Turning Point Action, three days after he was accused in a court filing of forging voter signatures on petitions he filed to qualify for the July Republican primary. Smith denied wrongdoing but said he could not afford the cost of litigating the matter. The allegations were referred to the Arizona attorney general's office for review, while Smith alleged Democrats had engineered the complaint.

In June 2025, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that Smith had been indicted on 14 counts related to fraudulent candidate signatures on his nomination for the Republican primary in Arizona's 29th district. Smith was "charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors, including deceiving the Secretary of State's office with petitions containing forged elector signatures and signing names other than his own to the nominating petition." He pled guilty in November 2025, admitting to having forged more than one hundred signatures.

Tim Sheehy

The Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to Tim Sheehy for placing his own political aspirations above the interests of the economy and nation despite a tacit admission that he knows what he is doing.  He is also demonstrating the conservative preference for political theater of principled governance.

From The Daily Montanan

Montana’s junior U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy has frequently criticized renewable energy, but his own Gallatin County home appears to run on “green energy crap,” which most people would likely call a solar and battery storage system.

Sheehy’s choice of power seems to be at odds with his public positions on green and renewable energy, and he isn’t talking about the apparent contradiction either.

In a news story by E&E News and Politico on Tuesday, the outlets report that Sheehy, a Republican and critic of the “Green New Deal” and other Democratic-backed renewable energy proposals has installed solar panels on his house while voting against federal policies that would have offered residents tax breaks for similar actions.

When confronted by reporters from the Washington-D.C.-based publications, he balked at questions, saying that he wasn’t commenting on his own personal house.

The Daily Montanan also reached out to Sheehy’s office for comments and clarification, but had received no response by Wednesday afternoon [02/25/26].

But the two national news organizations had experts review publicly available satellite images to confirm the solar panel-battery system that was installed in 2020 or 2021. Two sources said that Bozeman-based OnSite Energy installed the system, according to E&E News and Politico.

Sheehy has criticized a wide swath of renewable energy projects from military applications to residential applications. He has characterized renewables as “green energy crap,” according to E&E News.

Politico also reported that Sheehy’s solar panels have been known for some time, briefly causing renewable energy lobbyists to be hopeful that he would become part of a small but apparently growing portion of the Republican caucus who has supported renewable energy projects, but those hopes were soon dashed as Sheehy came out with full-throated support of President Donald J. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” which reversed many renewable policies, including provisions that industry leaders estimated would cost as many as 760,000 jobs by 2030, according to E&E News.

Sheehy’s opposition to green or renewable projects stands in contrast to his business and some writings before he became a politician in which he said his aerial firefighting company would only become more important with climate change and an increase in firefighting needs.

Craig Scott Valdez

The Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to yet another Republican raping children.

From Alaska Public Media

A state legislator’s former chief of staff faces charges of child sexual exploitation and child sex trafficking. Federal agents arrested Craig Scott Valdez, 36, early Friday in Juneau, according to court documents. Valdez is an Anchorage resident listed as having served as Republican Wasilla state Sen. George Rauscher’s chief of staff since November. Valdez was terminated Friday hours after the charges were made public, according to a press secretary for the state Senate minority caucus, of which Rauscher is a member. Valdez was also elected as chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans in January 2025 and became the group’s state committee chair last month, according to social media posts.

A grand jury on Tuesday indicted Valdez on charges of sex trafficking a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor – for both allegedly producing and receiving child sexual abuse material – and coercion and enticement of a minor. The alleged crimes occurred in October 2025, according to the indictment. Court documents detail a specific instance in which Valdez allegedly lured a 15-year-old girl to his Anchorage home. But prosecutors also wrote that the FBI has identified at least 11 other potential victims, and federal authorities are asking the public for help as their investigation continues.

In a court filing supporting Valdez’s detention in jail, federal prosecutors laid out what they say happened in October:

Valdez had met the 15-year-old girl on Snapchat, picked her up at her home and drove her to his house, “for the purpose of sexually exploiting the child to celebrate his birthday,” the detention memorandum says.

[…]

The girl later told investigators that other children had introduced her to Valdez when she was 13 or 14 years old. Law enforcement officials do not think the October incident was the first time Valdez exploited the girl, nor do they think she was his only victim.

Michael Santiago and Michael James

The Conservative Barf Bag today goes to Michael Santiago and Michael James for compressing into a single encounter so many conservative values: racism, misogyny, violence, sexual aggression, and rudeness.

From The New York Times

The two men live-streamed the Feb. 19 encounter online. In it, they approach a woman on a street corner in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, and one of the men, wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, demands a kiss.

The woman, who is Black, refuses the man, who is white, and he becomes belligerent, setting off a war of words in which he uses racial epithets and tells her he wants to have sex with a “slave.”

He then ducks down to kiss her boots — only to burn them with a lighter.

On Thursday, the police arrested two men, Michael Santiago, 31, and Michael James, 33, in connection with the incident. The men were charged with criminal mischief, menacing and attempted assault, all as hate crimes, as well as harassment, criminal tampering and arson.

[…]

The episode in Chelsea unfolded at West 26th Street and Seventh Avenue at about 3 p.m., according to the police. In it, a man whom the police identified as Mr. James can be heard cursing at the woman, using racial slurs and telling her, “You’re my slave.” At one point, he asks to kiss her fuzzy boots, and she allows him to. While crouching on the pavement, he pulls out a lighter and singes the fur, which she does not appear to notice at first. Mr. Santiago, according to the police, is filming.

“One of the individuals engaged the victim in conversation and leaned in to kiss her,” the Police Department said in a news release. “The victim pushed him away, after which the individual proceeded to make anti-Black statements toward her.”

Stephen Bratton

Yet another conservative has been convicted of raping children.  This story is from 2021, but conservative malignance is timeless. 

From ABC News

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A former Southern Baptist pastor who supported legislation in Texas that would have criminalized abortions was sentenced last Friday to 17 years in prison for child molestation, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

Stephen Bratton, 46, had been accused back in 2019 of subjecting a teen to inappropriate touching that escalated to "sexual intercourse multiple times a day or several times a week" from 2013 to 2018, according to Thomas Gilliland, with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Bratton admitted he molested the teen girl for about five years, starting when she was 13.

Bratton, who is a father of seven, was outspoken in support of a bill that would have abolished abortions in Texas and threatened to punish women who undergo the procedure with the death penalty.

Madison Paige Jones

Today the Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to Madison Paige Jones, who once went viral wearing a Trump hat with her wedding dress at her wedding. 

From TV6 Negaunee, Michigan

 A Texas woman confessed to police officers that she sexually assaulted a 5-year-old child at the direction of her boyfriend, according to an affidavit.  The Midlothian Police Department named Zackery Dondlinger, 37, and his girlfriend, Madison Paige Jones, 30, as suspects in the investigation.  Court documents show that on Dec. 17, Midlothian police went to the home of a woman who identified herself as a friend of Jones.  She told officers that Jones and Dondlinger were in a relationship and that she had concerns about Dondlinger’s behavior toward a 5-year-old child in Jones’ home.

Officers then spoke with Jones, who confessed to sexually assaulting the 5-year-old at Dondlinger’s direction, according to the affidavit.  In the documents, Jones said Dondlinger was having sexual fantasies about the child.  The affidavit said that Jones described the sexual acts in detail to officers. She also explained that she sent videos of the acts to Dondlinger via Snapchat to satisfy his sexual needs.  Officers searched Jones’ iPhone and found a message from Dondlinger that confirmed Jones’ story about performing the sexual acts at his request.

Dondlinger is charged with sexual performance by a child, a first-degree felony.  He was initially arrested Dec. 23 in Loving County on a lesser degree of the felony offense, but the charge has since been upgraded.  Jones is charged with the following:

·      Aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony

·      Indecency with a child by sexual contact, a second-degree felony

·      Indecency with a child by sexual contact, a second-degree felony

·      Possession of child pornography of more than 500 visual depictions, a first-degree felony

Hugo Holland

Today’s Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to Hugo Holland, a well-funded candidate for a judgeship.  His campaign is led by the leader of the local Republican party.

From ProPublica

Hugo Holland’s aggressive legal tactics made him one of Louisiana’s most renowned prosecutors and helped turn Caddo Parish, a majority Black community in the northwest corner of the state, into one of the nation’s leaders in death penalty convictions.

[…]

In at least two death penalty cases, Louisiana judges found that Holland withheld evidence. In a third, he secured the conviction of a Black 16-year-old, comparing the boy to a dog and telling the jury to “get rid of it”; prosecutors later admitted that Holland and his team had failed to turn over evidence.

Defense attorneys have also accused him of racism, pointing, for example, to a capital murder case several years ago in which Holland emailed one of them to say he was going to spend Veterans Day in his pickup truck looking for “a Black guy or a Mex-can.” Holland called it a joke. Holland, 62, is now running for judge in the First Judicial District Court in Caddo Parish, and his nascent campaign appears to have substantial backing.

[…]

As an assistant district attorney in Caddo Parish from 1991 to 2012, Holland displayed a portrait of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan, in his office.

[…]

The doubts surrounding Holland’s death row convictions have taken on even more urgency since the election of Jeff Landry, who upon being sworn in as governor in 2024 said he wanted to execute every prisoner on death row as quickly as possible.

[…]

In 1997, Holland secured a death sentence against Hampton for a murder that happened during a liquor store robbery in Shreveport. The Louisiana Supreme Court later found that Holland had withheld grand jury witness testimony that someone else fired the fatal shot.

[…]

Holland withheld evidence in a third death penalty case, involving Corey Williams, a 16-year-old convicted in the fatal shooting of a pizza delivery man in Shreveport. Williams’ 2000 death sentence was reduced to life without parole because the boy has a severe intellectual disability, according to court documents. Fifteen years after Williams’ conviction, his attorneys alerted the court that Holland had concealed a trove of evidence that they said proved his innocence.

[…]

Holland’s unprofessional behavior in and outside of the courtroom is also a grave concern, she said. During a 2018 postconviction hearing for a murder case, Carbia said Holland claimed he couldn’t hear when she was questioning a witness, so he began following Carbia around the courtroom as she spoke.  “He’d come stand looming over my shoulder with his coattail pushed back so that you could see the firearm on his hip,” Carbia recalled in a recent interview.

James Lawson

Today’s Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to James Lawson, the pastor of the Apostolic Life Church in Kosse, Texas, a conservative Pentecostal church.

From KWTX Television Station 10

The now former pastor of Apostolic Life Church in Kosse, Texas, on Wednesday was sentenced to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of repeatedly sexually abusing a young relative over the course of several years.

On Feb. 27, 2026, a Limestone County jury convicted James Lawson, 62, of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child, Indecency with a Child by Contact, and Indecency with a Child by Exposure.

[…]

During the trial, jurors heard testimony from the primary victim, who is related to Lawson. She described how, between the ages of 4 and 12, she visited Lawson and his wife in their home.

She testified that Lawson took her for rides on a four‑wheeler and rubbed her genital area, reached under her shirt and squeezed her breast, touched her genitals while she was in bed and while she sat on his lap under a blanket watching television, and changed clothes in front of her and, on at least one occasion, went skinny dipping with her.

[…]

During the trial, two of the victim’s sisters testified that Lawson also inappropriately touched them. They said Lawson would them, put lotion on their bodies, and wash their hair even after they were old enough to care for themselves.

The girls also said Lawson would make them sit on his lap under a blanket while watching television and rubbed their bodies, including their inner thighs near their genital area, making them feel uncomfortable.

The girls said Lawson touched their breasts under the pretense of “checking their bras” to make sure they were tight.

One sister and a cousin also told jurors that Lawson insisted on showing them how to shave their legs while they were in the bathtub, even after they said they already knew how. Lawson then instructed them not to tell anyone.

David Mays

The Conservative Barf Bag Project proposes to demonstrate by sheer weight of numbers – so far the CBBA has been given 387 times – that barf baggery and conservatism can be correlated so frequently that concluding that a causal relationship exists is reasonable, even without specifying which is the cause and which is the effect.  But what is the Committee to do when conservatism and barf baggery become indistinguishable?  Such is the case with today’s recognition of the loathsomeness of David John Mays with the CBBA.

Richmond lawyer David Mays argued before the court that the Fourteenth Amendment does not prohibit segregation in public schools.  When he failed, he went on to become the architect of the South’s campaign of “massive resistance” to integration.

From We the People by historian Jill Lepore

David John Mays, born in 1896, just seven years after the death of Jefferson Davis, was a child of The Lost Cause.  “I had almost memorized the The Clansman when still a little fellow,” he recalled, referring to Thomas Dixon’s 1905 novel, The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, in which a thinly disguised Thaddeus Stevens, calling the Constitution a “worn-out rag” (“We have outgrown the swaddling clothes of a babe. We will make new constitutions!”), orchestrates what Dixon calls “the Black Plague of Reconstruction,” leading heroic Southerners to form the Klan to defend the constitution in the spirit of “Chivalry, Humanity, Mercy, and Patriotism.”  In 1915 Mays took the train from Virginia to the capital to watch D. W. Griffith’s film adaptation of the book, The Birth of a Nation.  Two years later he’d seen his first lynching, in Memphis.  He and his friends “howled with excitement” at the prospect, he wrote in his diary, and watched with a mob of three thousand as a Black man named Ell Persons was doused with gasoline.  “When the match was applied,” Mays wrote, Persons “made no sound except for a faint pig squeal.”

Thomas Wideman

Republican and member of the "MAGA faith community" Thomas Wideman joins the long line of conservatives indicted for trying to rape children.  He is the son of the man who founded Covenant Eyes, the software used by Speaker Mike Johnson to monitor his son’s sexual behavior.  Last year he was arrested for arranging to have sex with a fourteen-year-old girl.  The Committee gives him the Conservative Barf Bag Award.

From Bishopaccountability.org

According to a probable cause affidavit, Wideman began communicating with the detective, Sgt. Anna Birkeland, on July 23 through the Hush app when he responded to her post that said “Heyyyy” and featured a smiling horse. Wideman said he was 37, and Birkeland responded that she was 14.  Wideman then texted how he’d like to touch the girl, which included deep kissing, touching her breasts and pushing his hips into her.  On Aug. 10, he suggested a meeting with the teen where they could “kiss a little and see what happens.” Birkeland expressed interest but said it would have to be when her “mom’s at work and sister at a friends.”  Two days later, Wideman texted Birkeland that he may have secured an apartment where they could meet. When she asked what they would do there, Wideman responded, “Taste every inch of you. Caress your body. Respond to your needs and desires. Let you explore what it’s kind (sic) to have someone completely adore you.”

Wideman and Birkeland scheduled a meeting for Aug. 14, although they selected another location near the address Birkeland provided as her home. Wideman told her to wear something “simple and mature.”  “Definitely something that makes you look older, but whatever feels natural,” he texted. “Nothing with high school names or anything for sure.”  Wideman, who told Birkeland he was married, texted that he would bring condoms but said that even if all they did was make out “it’s still a great day.” He also requested a picture of the girl in her bra but did not receive one.  When Wideman arrived at the meeting spot, officers surrounded his vehicle and arrested him before transporting him to the Kent County Correctional Facility.  They also confiscated his cell phone, where officers say they discovered 12 videos featuring child sexual abuse material. All of the videos included prepubescent or young females, and some were violent, in addition to being sexual in nature.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael

Today’s winner of the Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to Ramsey Khalid Ismael.

From NBC News

Johnny Somali, 25, whose real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, had been barred from leaving South Korea since he was indicted in 2024. On Wednesday, he was detained immediately after he was sentenced on a range of offenses, which also included distributing sexual deepfakes, according to the Seoul Western District Court.

Somali, a self-proclaimed internet troll, is best known for posting provocative videos on YouTube, Twitch and other platforms, several of which have banned him.

During a visit to Seoul in 2024, Somali drew outrage when he posted a clip of himself kissing and making sexual gestures toward a statue commemorating the tens of thousands of Korean women Japanese forces forced into sexual slavery during World War II.

[…]

While he was on trial last year, Somali tried to enter the courtroom wearing a red “MAGA” hat associated with supporters of President Donald Trump but was stopped.

During the incident, he said that “Korea is a vassal state of the United States,” drawing backlash, according to local reports. Four months later, he was seen holding a Japanese Rising Sun flag, which is viewed in South Korea as a symbol of Japanese imperialism, and making remarks that “Japan should reoccupy Korea.” He also proclaimed that “Dokdo belongs to Japan,” in reference to disputed islands that both countries claim as their own, local reports said.

Somali has repeatedly drawn controversy when he has traveled outside the U.S., including during a trip to Japan, where he taunted subway commuters about the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, which killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of people.

Blake Cozzens

The Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to Blake Cozzens, a 2014 Republican candidate for District 72 of the Utah House of Representatives.  In 2018, he pled guilty to a charge of attempting to pay a prostitute in a sting operation and another charge of bank fraud and embezzlement in 2025.

From KSL.com

CEDAR CITY — The former treasurer and chairman of the Iron County Republican Party, who is facing federal charges accusing him of embezzling $1.9 million and using the money, in part, to gamble, is now facing additional charges in connection to an alleged domestic violence-related offense while awaiting trial.

Blake Floyd Cozzens, 35, of Cedar City, was charged Tuesday [10/14/25] in 5th District Court with kidnapping, a second-degree felony; and assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child and damaging a phone, all class B misdemeanors.

[…]

According to an arrest warrant affidavit filed Tuesday, Utah Highway Patrol troopers in July "responded to reports of a domestic violence incident" on I-15. "During this investigation, the troopers determined this to be a verbal fight only, and no law enforcement action was taken that night."

But in August, the alleged victim in that incident, Cozzens' wife, contacted troopers saying she had additional information she now wanted to share. She said she and Cozzens had gotten into a fight while driving on I-15, and "she took her phone out and began to film Blake when he took her phone and threw it in the back seat," the warrant states.

When the woman told him she was going to call 911 and tried to retrieve her phone, Cozzens "grabbed her right wrist and twisted it, which caused her pain," according to the warrant.

When she told Cozzens to pull over so she could get her phone, he got off the freeway at the next exit, let her out of the car, but then drove off, the warrant states. By the time the wife had flagged down a passerby for help, Cozzens had turned around and attempted to "put her back in the vehicle by force while she told him that she did not want to go inside the car because he was going to hurt her again. (She) said that she told Blake a few times that she did not want to go inside of the car, but he still forced her into the car," according to the warrant.

All of this occurred while the woman's 3-year-old daughter was in the car, according to court documents. After she was forced back into the vehicle, the woman said that Cozzens told her "that they would take her daughter and deport her because she is not a U.S. citizen."

The Alexander brothers, Oren, Alon, and Tal

The Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to the Alexander brothers, Oren, Alon, and Tal, for drugging and raping as many as sixty women including two under-age girls, over more than a decade.  They appear in the Trump-Epstein Files.  They are well-connected in Florida Republican circles and have attended parties at the Trump White House.

From Wikipedia

More than 30 women accused Oren and his twin brother, Alon, of sexual assault in June 2024. Tal has also been implicated in multiple assaults. Several of the accusations, some dating back decades, were corroborated by "dozens of former classmates, brokerage employees and agents".

[…]

By December 13, 2024, approximately 40 alleged victims, including minors, had accused the Alexander brothers of rape.

[…]

The trial was presided over by judge Valerie E. Caproni. Assistant U.S. Attorney Madison Smyser in opening statements said "The brothers used whatever means necessary — sometimes drugs, sometimes alcohol, sometimes brute force — to carry out their rapes." During trial, the jury heard testimony from a woman who said that she met the brothers, and was drugged by them before awakening nude in bed with them. Part of the evidence used at trial was a video that Oren Alexander himself had filmed of a sexual assault he had committed.

[…]

The three Alexander brothers were convicted in Manhattan Federal Court on all charges, including the most serious of sex trafficking, on March 9, 2026.

From WUSA 9 CBS

A pardoned Capitol rioter [Bryan Betancur] who live streamed himself touching women's hair on the Metro last month was arrested again after a D.C. judge issued a warrant for his arrest for stalking, one day before his status hearing.

[…]

Betancur was arrested twice at the beginning of March [2026] for incidents on the Metro in Arlington and in D.C. His first arrest came after videos of a person stroking women's hair on Metro trains began circulating online, coming from live streams from an account named BryanBetan75949 on X, formerly Twitter.

[…]

According to the filing, Betancur repeatedly messaged the woman on X and Telegram about mental health, her feet and sexually explicit topics throughout 2024 and 2025. And some of the messages he posted on his account publicly, the document says. Three weeks and a half weeks ago, the woman was at an event in D.C. when Betancur allegedly Nazi saluted at her and claimed she was "Antifa" in attempt to have her removed from the event. When she did leave the event later, the documents say, he followed her and yelled after her, calling her a "Jewish b*tch."

[…]

It's not the first time Betancur has been arrested for stalking. In 2024, he violated an anti-stalking order to be near D.C. activist Brianne Chapman several times. In September 2024, he was hauled back to jail for two months. He was also sentenced to two years' probation.  Betancur was convicted of illegally entering the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

[…]

He served four months in prison.

[…]

In charging documents, he was described as a "self-professed white supremacist" who said he wanted to be a “lone-wolf killer." Betancur was pardoned by President Donald Trump on the day of his inauguration in 2025.

Craig Long, 41, a Tampa-based fitness entrepreneur and self-described MAGA influencer, was among 266 people arrested in Polk County, Florida, during a large-scale prostitution, human trafficking, and child predator sting. Sheriff Grady Judd said 247 of the arrests were tied to human trafficking, with suspects collectively having 1,028 prior charges before deputies added 439 more. The operation involved federal, state, and local agencies, with cases still pending. Long’s public persona as a pro-law enforcement, pro-Trump influencer with over half a million TikTok followers contrasts sharply with his alleged criminal conduct. Sheriff Judd underscored this irony, noting Long’s previous rehabilitation and his access to influential circles, including meeting Donald Trump at a UFC event. This juxtaposition highlights tensions between political branding and personal behaviour, a dynamic often scrutinised in public figures.

Chuck Edwards

Yet another Republican member of congress is being investigated for sexual misconduct involving young female aids.  Chuck Edwards is the two-term, married Republican representative from North Carolina.  The Committee has given him the Conservative Barf Bag Award.

Axios News reports that three sources told them that they witnessed conduct by Edwards toward two female staffers in their 20s that they described as inappropriate. The sources said Edwards' behavior crossed professional boundaries and created an uncomfortable work environment.  Axios reviewed receipts showing Edwards had booked two rooms at the Bellagio hotel from Nov. 8 to Nov. 11 in 2025, as well as messages indicating that the woman was also in Las Vegas on at least one of those dates. Edwards expressed deep personal affection for the staffer in a three-page handwritten note that sources said the congressman gave to the staffer shortly before she left his office.  "You are the most amazing woman," the letter, reviewed by Axios, began.  "I only wish I could explain the joy and meaning to me for the time we spent together at the office — but especially away from it," the letter read.  "Your kindness, encouragement, and light-heartedness have written a complex chapter in my heart that I will never stop reading."

Edwards' decision to promote the second female staffer to a senior position, just a year and a half into her junior staff role and less than two years after graduating college, contributed to internal tensions in the office, three sources told Axios.  The second female staffer was chosen over a more experienced colleague who left the office shortly after the promotion, the sources said.  Edwards' office has one of the highest turnover rates in Congress, with 59% turnover in 2025, more than double the House average of 27%.

Max Miller

The Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to Trump-endorsed, Republican Max Miller of Ohio.  He has a long history of alcohol abuse, driving while impaired, lawlessness, and physically attacking his women.

From Wikipedia

In 2011, he was charged with "operating a vehicle without reasonable control" and operating a vehicle impaired (OVI) after crashing his Jeep Grand Cherokee, and told officers that he had had "two to three beers and several shots" the night before and "woke up in urine-soaked pants".  Miller pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and failure to control.

Trump-endorsed GOP Representative Max Miller has been accused of physically abusing his ex-wife Emily Moreno.

[…]

Court filings obtained by the Daily Mail revealed that Emily is attempting to change their custody situation due to Miller’s “dangerous physical behavior” while their 2-year-old daughter was present. Moreno stated that Miller hit her during a custody exchange with their daughter in February, bruising Moreno’s arm and torso, as shown in photos obtained by the Mail. Moreno also claims that Miller threw a pot of boiling water on her in 2024 while their daughter was present.

[…]

Miller has faced similar accusations in the past. His ex-girlfriend, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, 49, alleged that he pushed her against a wall and slapped her after she accused him of cheating in 2020.
