It takes a special kind of depravity to look at a story as horrific as the rape of a child and have your first thought be 'but this story might help evil conservatives!' But, if there's one thing that our Canadian cousins to the north seem to be well stocked in these days, it's a cynical moral depravity it seems. So, the Canadian news network CTV, a news network owned by Canadian media conglomerate Bell Media, looked at a story about a group of migrants in Italy gang raping a 13 year old girl in a park in Sicily and their first thought was 'Gee, this story seems like it'll help those awful far right folk! That's no good!'

The article itself notes that this isn't an isolated incident, but is rather part of a horrifying trend that's been going on in Italy ... last year there were apparently two separate instances of groups of migrant men and boys horrifically raping people - in one instance, a 19-year-old girl, and in another, two cousins who were 10 and 12 years old at the time. But clearly the real story here is how this will help those evil far right folks and their completely inexplicable distrust of random unvetted migrants being flooded into their country without any real background checks, right?

Yes, being against violating women and young girls is apparently a far-right issue now ... which makes the far-right seem like the good guys, right? It might explain why Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni's 'Brothers of Italy' party is doing so well in polling there ... since the opposing parties apparently, we assume, aren't prepared to jump onboard the anti-child rape bandwagon for fear of offending immigrants.

OG Horses Kisses (@CdnFreedomGirl) ~ So let’s get this straight ... if you’re against migrants gang raping minors, you’re far-right.
Hopefully the Canadian left takes out some billboards with this message, it's unlikely that the Canadian Conservative Party or its leader Pierre Poilievre would object.
Chase Patterson (@chasewpatterson) ~ If politics has led you to a point where opposing gang rape is a thing you have to do while walking on eggshells, then something is very wrong with you.
Lauren Southern (@Lauren_Southern) ~ The only reason a gang rape would give fodder to the far right is if they were the only ones pushing policies to aggressively try to stop it, right @CTVNews??
