Older readers should assure the young people in their lives that America's elected officials have not always behaved this way. True, the president's annual State of the Union address has often featured interminable interruptions for applause. But not until President Donald Trump came along did the members of one party...

Robert Edwards — the creator and co-founder of ‘Squatty Potty,’ which was featured on the show Shark Tank — is facing some serious and disturbing allegations. He has been arrested in Utah on child p*rn charges. Specifically, he’s accused of buying child sex abuse materials on the internet over the span of many years.

Edwards is “partnered” to a man and is a “co-parent” to four children, according to his profile on Southern Utah Cares. During his appearance on Shark Tank, Barbara Corcoran said there was something about Edwards that felt off to her. Authorities say Edwards purchased a “trove” of CSAM between 2021 and 2025. An undercover FBI agent joined a group chat where horrifying material was being distributed. Edwards was allegedly one of the participants. In November, law enforcement executed a search warrant and confiscated his phone that “contained multiple videos and images of [CSAM],” officials claim. Edwards has pleaded not guilty.

FBI agents found videos and images on his devices, including content downloaded just two weeks before his arrest. Built a fortune on bathroom habits. Allegedly spent his free time doing something far more disgusting. Edwards was reportedly busted by an undercover FBI agent in a disgusting chat room for viewing child sex abuse videos. He is pleading not guilty. A DOJ press release has more: An indictment was unsealed today in the District of Utah following the arrest of a Southern Utah entrepreneur, and original co-founder and creator of the “Squatty Potty,” after he was charged for receiving sexually explicit images of a child. Robert Edwards, 50, of Ivins, Utah, was indicted by a federal grand jury on February 10, 2026. He was arrested on February 12, 2026, in Washington County, Utah. During his initial appearance on the indictment, he pleaded not guilty and was remanded to the U.S. Marshal Service by U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Kohler in St. George. According to the allegations in court documents, beginning in March 2021, and continuing through November 2025, in the District of Utah, and elsewhere, Edwards knowingly received multiple images of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In March 2021, an undercover FBI agent assumed the identity of an online profile account and joined a group chat used to trade child sexual abuse material. The online meeting room was viewing a collection of child sexual abuse material videos, which were being streamed on the main screen. Participants in the meeting were visible, including one user later identified as Edwards. As alleged in court documents, the investigation continued and in May 2025, FBI agents learned that Edwards was suspected of purchasing additional child sexual abuse material via his PayPal account, which flagged four transactions involving Edwards’ account as possibly related to CSAM. On November 4, 2025, law enforcement executed a search warrant on Edwards’s person and residence. Agents seized a cell phone from his vehicle, which contained multiple videos and images of child sexual abuse material, some of which downloaded onto the cell phone just two weeks before the search warrant was executed. At Edwards’s residence, law enforcement seized additional devices and found additional child sexual abuse material files. Edwards is charged with receipt of child pornography. His detention hearing is scheduled for March 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in courtroom 2B at the courthouse located at 206 West Tabernacle Street, St. George, Utah 84470. United States Attorney Melissa Holyoak of the District of Utah made the announcement. The case is being investigated by the FBI Salt Lake City Field Office, St. George Resident Agency. Assistant United States Attorney Christopher Burton of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah is prosecuting the case.

The vast majority of Democrats disgraced themselves during President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night. During the speech, most Democrats refused to stand when President Trump honored Iryna Zarutska’s family, Erika Kirk, and multiple veterans. Sen. Fetterman was one of just a few Democrats who actually showed some respect by standing and clapping. And now, he’s calling out other members of his party for refusing to do so. Watch this: BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) says he was one of the Democrats to stand up for Iryna Zarutska and Erika Kirk at Trump’s State of the Union “Even Erika Kirk. Can’t we just be more kind to a WIDOW? How can’t we acknowledge that?” “I clapped for the family that lost… pic.twitter.com/VMCMIBY8VC — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 25, 2026 BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) says he was one of the Democrats to stand up for Iryna Zarutska and Erika Kirk at Trump’s State of the Union “Even Erika Kirk. Can’t we just be more kind to a WIDOW? How can’t we acknowledge that?” “I clapped for the family that lost the Ukrainian girl…the Venezuelan political prisoner…the veterans.” “I’ll always clap for things I agree with, like striking the Iranian sites.” “And if I don’t agree, I certainly won’t yell, scream and disrupt the whole thing.” Folks, this is called acting like a normal American. It shouldn’t be controversial to honor veterans who fight for our nation or people who lost innocent loved ones. That’s just basic human decency. Yet, once again, Sen. Fetterman is the only Democrat acting like a normal person here: pic.twitter.com/Mi2lDXpmCD — Liz Wriston (@facetioussoup) February 25, 2026 Not every Democrat was even present at the State of the Union, by the way. Many of them ‘protested’ by holding alternative events. As expected, these counter-events were incredibly cringe. One even featured some dancing frogs… Full scoop on that here: Absolute Clown Show: Democrat Bring Out Dancing Frogs During Their Counter State Of The Union Event Sen. Fetterman wasn’t pleased by that, either! Watch his response to the “dancing frogs” here: John Fetterman calls out his own party for humiliating themselves by yelling through Trump’s State of the Union speech and holding cringe protest events: “I don’t believe as a Democrat that dancing frogs really move the ball for us”
