Pastor With Child Convictions Endorses Whatley | Irvine News

A pastor with a history of child sex offenses just prayed for integrity at a key campaign event for Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley — a move that’s sparking outrage and political firestorms just two months before a pivotal Senate race. The pastor, Daimon L. King, is a registered sex offender with multiple convictions dating back to the late 90s and 2010, and his presence undermines Whatley’s tough-on-crime message — especially as Democrats have already spent over $2.3 million attacking Whatley’s ties to another convicted sex offender, Harvey L. West Jr. Whatley’s team says he didn’t know King was attending, but King’s growing visibility in GOP circles — including appearing alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz — has turned this into a major liability for the Senate hopeful.
