A Republican aide has claimed that LGBTQ+ organisations are training eight-year-old children how to use butt plugs and dildos.

In a recently resurfaced speech, Erin Mazzoni, who reportedly works for the campaign of Franklin, Tennessee Republican mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson, alleged that children are being given sex toys by LGBTQ+ activists.

Mazzoni told a meeting of the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen earlier this that she’d moved to Tennessee from Bucks County, in Pennsylvania, after apparently discovering that an LGBTQ+ organisation was teaching children how to use sex toys, which, she claimed, caused the community to “fall apart”.

Between sobs, she said: “It started out as Pride coming in, and I thought everything would be OK. It ended with a Rainbow Room where eight to 12-year-old kids were given butt plugs and dildos and trained.

    claimed with zero evidence and a lot of crocodile tears that…

    Can we stop with the satanic panic? Of course we can't, we want our good Christian rules implement and of we have to lie, steal and cheat for that, we totally will, just like Jesus would

    I feel like when making claims like this, you should be expected to prove that what you're saying…you know…happened.

    Surely there's a news article or 2 of people being arrested for child grooming that were in the LGBTQ+ community if this actually happened. Cause if there isn't then she's talking about a crime she didn't actually report.

    Or you know, it didn't happen.

    Literally Satanic Panic.

    Can we just skip ahead to the point in humanity when we’re past all this? It’s exhausting.

    so yeah none of us believe her…but I cant understand the people that supposedly do. If I heard allegations of some organization doing all this child sexual assault…Im immediately calling the cops or making sure the alleger has, finding out specifics of organization and people's names involved. Why is it not immediately being treated like a criminal allegation, and instead being used in a political speech?
