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

(NBC News) A school-privatization activist and frequent Fox News guest whose work has been praised by former President Donald Trump was placed on leave by his conservative nonprofit employer after reports that he had appeared in gay pornography videos surfaced.

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.

A person who resembles DeAngelis and performs under the name “Seth Rose” appears in at least three gay adult films on the pornography site GayHoopla dating to 2014. In the videos, “Seth Rose” does not have sexual contact with other performers; rather, he appears in scenes masturbating solo or alongside other men. The existence of the videos was first reported last week by the blog Str8 Up Gay Porn, which shares gay porn and articles about sex.

After all, facaders gotta facade. Hopefully, the group's appointed spokesperson will be suitably entertained while "looking into the matter".

of Education as a "school choice evangelist:"

Of course one of Walters' (and Stitt's) top anti-public education allies was once a fledgling gay porn star

How big a figure did DeAngelis, who goes by “Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist” on Twitter, become in Oklahoma political circles?

Well, big enough to receive the “Citizenship Award” of the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, the dueling think tank of the moderate Oklahoma Policy Institute, responsible for helping craft a great deal of conservative policy in the state.

Big enough that, to this day, you can find a tweet from Matt Langston, Walters’ top strategist, posted May 25, with the attached underneath picture and these accompanying words:

“@DeAngelisCorey is boldly fighting against the radical teachers unions and woke indoctrination in the classrooms. His new book, The Parent Revolution, is THE roadmap.”
