Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the conservative education nonprofit American Federation for Children, is alleged to have appeared in several gay adult films.

A school-privatization activist and frequent Fox News guest whose work has been praised by former President Donald Trump was placed on leave by his conservative nonprofit employer after reports that he had appeared in gay pornography videos surfaced.

Corey DeAngelis has been a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, a conservative education nonprofit group founded by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, since 2021 (DeVos’ website says she is the former chair of the organization, and the organization’s site does not mention her as being currently involved). Asked about DeAngelis and the adult film reports, Rebekah Bydlak, a spokesperson for the organization, said, “We have placed the employee on leave as we look into this matter further.” Bydlak declined to comment further.

    Something that will never stop being funny to me is seeing hardcore republicans and trump supporters getting caught doing gay stuff. Like, you wouldn’t have to hide it if you weren’t so desperately trying to create the stigma among your own party on a daily basis. It’s literally their own fault. If they weren’t against it you could just be gay and still support Trump and nobody would bat an eye. But instead they create this whole thing and just make it harder for themselves. I just find it so god damn funny.
