Romney Aide: fighting porn will be a top priority in a Romney White House.
Republican Mitt Romney insists his No. 1 job is fixing the economy but a former Reagan administration anti-porn prosecutor says the candidate’s campaign has assured him that he also will “vigorously” crack down on pornographers if he is elected president.
Patrick Trueman, a former head of the Justice Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and now the head of Morality in Media, told the conservative Daily Caller that he was quietly promised that fighting porn will be a top priority in a Romney White House.
Trueman said he and another anti-porn prosecutor from the 1980s Justice Department, Bob Flores, met earlier this year with Alex Wong, Romney’s foreign and legal policy director..
“Wong assured us that Romney is very concerned with this, and that if he’s elected these laws will be enforced,” Trueman told the website. ”They promised to vigorously enforce federal adult obscenity laws.”
Around the time Trueman says he received those assurances, Romney signed Morality in Media’s anti-porn pledge along with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, whom he was still battling for the GOP nomination. Since then, he hasn’t mentioned the issue very often.
ALERT: ROMNEY MIGHT BE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR PORN. Please alert your conservative-leaning but still kind of chill relatives and friends.
All I can do is laugh at this point.
