(LifeSiteNews) — A member of Congress used her platform during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing to weaken the definition of pedophile by stating that it’s an identity rather than descriptive of both a heinous condition and criminal act. 

While questioning the president of Washington, D.C.’s LGBTQ+ lobbying powerhouse, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) said that use of the terms “groomer” and “pedophile” on social media allege “that a person is criminal, somehow, and engaged in criminal acts, merely because of their identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity.” 

In a video clip circulating on social media, Porter came across as sympathetic to those who identify as “pedophiles,” while not mentioning the plight of kids subject to those who use grooming tactics to sexualize children. 

“According to California Democrat Rep. Katie Porter, pedophilia isn’t a crime — it’s an ‘identity,’” noted social media influencer, Ian Miles Cheong, who posted the video clip.
