A member of the San Francisco Republican Party County Central Committee has been arrested after parts of a headless, handless, and footless body wrapped in garbage bags found in July were identified as his missing fiance, the San Francisco Standard reports. A Navy veteran, 42-year-old Joseph C. Roberts was charged after DNA evidence connected him to the killing of 27=year-old Rachel Elizabeth Imani Buckner.
What makes this more than a typical Republican-kills-a-woman story is that Roberts made a name in conservative circles by vocally defending himself against allegations made by three women at Savannah State University in Georgia that Roberts sexually harassed them, which got him expelled from the school. His cause was picked up by “men’s rights” activists and even Donald Trump, whom Roberts supported, as an example of the #MeToo movement gone wild.
