Ted Cruz Event Gives 'Courage' Award to State Rep Who Gave Away Adoptees to Molester
August 12, 2015 at 2:51 pm
Quote:Arkansas State Representative Justin Harris, who gave away his adopted daughters to a child molester because he and his wife thought they were possessed by demons, will be given an award for courage at a dinner for Senator Ted Cruz tonight. Harris and a fellow state representative, Charlene Fite, are being commended for “standing strong in faith.”
The Arkansas Times’ Benjamin Hardy wrote a stellar, multi-part, Pulitzer-worthy series on how Harris and his wife “rehomed” two adopted children with a man named Eric Cameron Francis, who raped one of them, a six-year-old child. Francis was convicted of rape and second-degree sexual assault, and will serve 40 years in prison.
Meanwhile, the The Family Council Action Committee, a “family values” organization associated with the national, hotly anti-gay and anti-abortion Focus on the Family, thinks Justin Harris deserves some recognition for his bravery. Hardy reports he will be awarded a “Power of Courage” award at the Crawford County Republican Party’s “Lincoln Day” Dinner in Van Buren. According to the ticketing information, which you can see here, the dinner will be held at Van Buren High School beginning at 6 pm.

It is amazing what sort of people win awards. And it is another example of the use of the phrase "family values" in connection with people whose values are so very bad.
