Sex Trafficking Survivor’ at Democratic Convention Not Really a Victim of Sex TraffickingBy Alicia Powe Leave a Comment Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest The Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced the evening’s roster of speakers on Tuesday night. The list included “sex trafficking survivor” Ima Matul, a woman who first came to the United States as a teenager looking for a better life. Matul, an Indonesian woman who first came to the United States fleeing an arranged marriage as a teenager and in search of looking for a better life. She, however, is not really a sex-trafficking survivor, she only plays one at the convention. From Reason Magazine: Today the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced the evening’s roster of speakers, including “sex trafficking survivor” Ima Matul. On Tuesday evening, Matul spoke during the “Fight of Her Life: Secretary of State” portion of the night’s remarks, between U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. There’s just one problem: Matul isn’t a sex-trafficking survivor. That’s not to diminish what Matul went through—according to her bio, Matul was born and raised in Indonesia and took a job in the U.S. as a teenager. But the recruiter turned out to be a human trafficker. Matul was forced into domestic servitude, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, providing childcare, and performing other household tasks for a family in Los Angeles. She worked long days, seven days per week, and wasn’t paid. Oops. The party of victimhood miscategorized her victimhood. The DNC never lets the facts interfere with the narrative. Maybe Al Sharpton could sell her exaggerated story to Rolling Stone. If the media was unbiased, this inaccuracy would actually be on the network news; it would only fair. But it’s not, naturally. Democrats sure are a bit strange when it comes to sex trafficking and child abuse. They call this young lady a victim of sex trafficking when in reality she suffered through “labor trafficking.” But also addressing the convention is a real child molester Lena Dunham, but she is called a “celebrity.” ALERT: How To Be Sure To Continue Seeing Our Content On Facebook.
