A Conservative Inc. political operative formerly employed by the RNC and the Republican Senate caucus was arrested on Friday and charged with the distribution of child pornography.
In chats ascribed to Verastigui in the criminal complaint, the 27-year old says “when a baby screams it’s my favorite,” describes his “love” for “young rape,” and admits to trafficking in child pornography.
Verastigui’s Linkedin account features his work experience as a Senior Digital Strategist for the Senate Republican Conference and as a Senior Designer for the RNC.

Verastigui’s final tweet before his arrest by DC Metropolitan Police commends Republicans who voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments, suggesting the GOP operative is aligned with the establishment wing of the party.
Most disturbingly, Verastigui previously worked for Students for Life of America and spoke at pro-life rallies. His alleged involvement in the victimization of children represents no less than the heights of hypocrisy.
Verastigui was employed by Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions at the time of his arrest. The energy policy group confirmed his termination in a statement provided to multiple media organizations.
“The details of the allegations against Mr. Verastigui are tragic and shocking,” they wrote. “He is no longer employed by the organization and we are prepared to fully cooperate with law enforcement requests in this matter to any extent needed.”
