Turns Out the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's Latino Caucus Vice Chair Is a Convicted Sex Offender

Democrats have spent the last two years screaming about the Epstein files and accusing President Trump of being a "pedophile" (he's not) and saying Republicans are "pedophile protectors" (they're not). Spend any amount of time on social media and some leftist will accuse you of supporting those atrocities in about six minutes if they know you're a conservative.

Now in Wisconsin, the vice chair of the Democrat Party of Wisconsin's Latino Caucus, Diego A. Rodriguez, is a convicted child sex offender. Rodriguez is also the campaign manager for Democrat State Assembly member Priscilla Prado, who is running for reelection this year.

In a MAJOR scandal, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's Latino Caucus Vice Chair (who is also the campaign manager of a Democratic State Assembly member) is a convicted child sex offender who had sex with teenage boys while working as a church youth pastor.…

Here's more: 

A registered sex offender is serving as Vice Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Latino Caucus and as the campaign manager for a Democratic state lawmaker. Diego A. Rodriguez was convicted of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime after he tried to meet up with an undercover officer posing as a teenage boy on the gay dating app Grindr. Rodriguez was working as a youth leader at a church in Racine at the time.

The Hispanic News Network first reported that Rodriguez, 32, has been working as campaign manager and political consultant for Democrat Milwaukee Rep. Priscilla Prado as she runs for re-election in the 9th Assembly District. He has also canvassed for Ismael Luna, the Democratic nominee in the neighboring 8th Assembly District on Milwaukee’s south side.

Rodriguez is an extremely active, connected member of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and currently co-chairs its Latino Caucus. According to Rodriguez’s LinkedIn profile, he also “serves as the Coalition Coordinator for Justice Forward Wisconsin.”

First, it was revealed that @WisDems’ largest donor is Big Tech billionaire Reid Hoffman, who visited Epstein Island and sent Epstein ice cream “for the girls.”

Now, we learn that the vice chair of their Latino Caucus is a convicted sex offender.

Rodriguez also attended David Crowley's victory party on primary night, after spending the day knocking on doors for Crowley.

Hi @DavidCCrowley, quick question: Why did a convicted pedophile (who had sex with a teenage boy in an alley behind a Target store and is currently on the state sex offender registry) spend primary day last month knocking doors for you and attend your victory party that night? pic.twitter.com/BFj6Lbl7ci

State Rep. Priscilla Prado has fired Rodriguez from her campaign and vows a "more thorough vetting process" in the future.

He was also fired by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

UPDATE: After our reporting on this, both Prado and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin said they fired Rodriguez. Neither would answer any questions about why they employed a convicted pedophile for so long.

We all know why they wouldn't answer any questions about why they employed Rodriguez. That's because every accusation is really a confession. Remember, Democrat Gov. Tim Walz literally pardoned a child sex offender to protect him from deportation, and Democrats routinely support soft-on-crime legislation and policies that let child abusers go free.

So it's no surprise they'd employ them.

Townhall has reached out to both the Wisconsin Democrats and the Crowley campaign for comment.
