A political cartoonist who developed an online following among anti-Trump readers of the Washington Post has been arrested on charges that he possessed child sexual assault material.
Darrin Bell, who has been celebrated in left-wing media for unflattering caricatures of Trump voters, Republicans, and parent rights advocates, was taken into custody Wednesday morning by Sacramento County Sheriffs Deputies, according to multiple media outlets.
The Sheriff’s Office has said Bell’s arrest was the first by the task force connected to AI-generated material. Such material was incorporated into existing child pornography law on Jan. 1.
Bell’s arrest drew widespread attention from Trump supporters on social media, who noted the irony of his charges versus his criticism of conservatives.
The cartoonist had previously compared Trump voters to Nazis for expressing concerns over child predators, among other unflattering portrayals of the president-elects supporters.
Bell, 49, won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 2019.
He’s being held on $1 million bail pending a Jan. 17 hearing.

Ok …..follow along here ,
Whenever democrats accuse you of something, you can be very sure that they themselves are the ones who are actually doing it .
The hits just keep on coming . When Trump rolls up all this dirty carpet left behind by Biden , we will discover a lot more of this kind of hypocrisy. Insects scattering everywhere .
And , as one more cup of kool aid for his party faithful , Biden reads his speech last night about misinformation and oligarchy. That’s rich coming from his gang of liars and thieves .
Bye bye Joey you pathetic loser .
Hopefully Attorney General Bondie will start investigating these holier than thou lefties to root out and prosecute their malfeasance. Lawyer up lefties.
Speaking of pedophiles, cant wait to see the Epstein list. Why do you think gates wife divorced him? Why do you think kimmel is so rabid about trump? Maybe they’ll be roommates in the near future.
The perverts have been able to get away with their addictions for so long
they believe their behavior is invisible and harmless to society. Like drug abusers.
You’ll want to do some research on the Grooming and Rape gang problem in England that’s been covered up for more than 10 years. Just read a comprehensive article on it in the Washington Examiner. Combination of multi-culturalism and reprehensible liberals protecting their lily-black reputations.
