Trump-supported activist put on leave from employer after gay porn reports

Corey DeAngelis has been a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, a conservative education nonprofit group founded by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, since 2021 (DeVos’ website says she is the former chair of the organization, and the organization’s site does not mention her as being currently involved). Asked about DeAngelis and the adult film reports, Rebekah Bydlak, a spokesperson for the organization, said, “We have placed the employee on leave as we look into this matter further.” Bydlak declined to comment further. In the videos, “Seth Rose” does not have sexual contact with other performers; rather, he appears in scenes masturbating solo or alongside other men. In a Fox News segment last year, DeAngelis spoke out against the Los Angeles Unified School District after it held a “Week of Action” to honor famous LGBTQ people, including former NFL player Carl Nassib. “It’s just so strange how the far left is so obsessed with inserting sexual topics into elementary schools,” DeAngelis said in the segment. “Why not just focus on the basics, get the math, reading and arithmetic correct?” In an appearance on Fox News in May, DeAngelis criticized and linked the student-led protests against the Israel-Hamas war to how LGBTQ issues are talked about in public schools. “They’re not focusing on the basics — math, reading and writing,” he said. This year, DeAngelis released a book titled “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids From the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.” A description of the book says it “exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools.” Trump praised the book on his social media site, Truth Social, in May. “Corey DeAngelis is a FIGHTER for Parental Rights,” Trump wrote. “His new book, The Parent Revolution, is a great guide to help Moms and Dads take back control of their children’s education from the RADICAL MARXISTS ruining our schools.” Trump’s endorsement of the book is pinned to the top of DeAngelis’ Instagram account and quoted at the top of his X account. In July, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance shared one of DeAngelis’ X posts that included a video of Vance vowing to fight for schoolchildren to “get a good education and not an indoctrination.” A spokesperson for the Trump-Vance campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Last week, DeAngelis shared an X post from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that mocked support for trans girls playing on school sports teams that correspond with their gender identities and the Drag Story Hour children’s reading program. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
