An anti-Trump Democrat from Georgia was just arrested as part of a multi-state sting operation that targeted child abusers. Carl Sprayberry (D), who previously called for Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago to be bombed, was one of 18 suspects arrested in the massive operation.
For context, calls for violence against the president are nothing new, especially as his battle against the deep state intensifies, but the failed attempts on Trump’s life have cast this violent Rhetoric in a new light. Many conservatives have wondered if these repeated calls for violence were to blame for the political chaos that has plagued America for years.
In any case, prominent conservative influencer Libs of TikTok took to social media on May 1, 2025, to break the story. She posted, “BREAKING: Former failed candidate for Georgia State House, Carl Sprayberry (D), who called for Mar-a-Lago to be bombed, has been arrested as part of a human trafficking operation targeting people who arranged to have s*x with a child and has s*xually explicit conversations with children online.”
In the comments under her post, conservatives flocked to criticize the suspect and the Democrat party. One such comment read, “Democrats are the party of increasing violence. Thankfully, some are now finally facing legal justice.” Another called for retribution, saying, “They’re sick and have no worth in society whatsoever! Anyone taking advantage of our most innocent should be publicly humiliated and publicly [punished] ”
Noting the pattern of unhinged behavior, one user thought that Sprayberry should have been arrested well before this incident. The comment stated, “Threats against Mar-a-Lago—a federally protected site—aren’t just reckless, they’re attacks on national security infrastructure. The Secret Service exists to prevent exactly this kind of destabilizing rhetoric from becoming action.”
Continuing the well-worded post, the account stated, “Meanwhile, the same failed policies that allowed human trafficking networks to flourish under Biden’s open-border disaster now see predators like Sprayberry exploiting systemic weaknesses. Real accountability means crushing both physical threats to presidential security and the bureaucratic rot enabling child exploitation,” concluding, “No more excuses—lock up traffickers and secure our institutions.”
Describing the operation, officials described how they apprehended the Democrat for his alleged crimes. A statement reported, “Additionally, the operation targeted those who are willing to exploit children by purchasing sex with a minor. Online child predators use social media sites, messaging apps, and websites on the Internet to find children, begin conversations with them, introduce sexual content, and arrange a meeting with the child for the purpose of having sex. Boys and girls are both targeted by these predators.”
