Democrat radicalism is at an all-time high. But it’s coming back to bite them.
Because a huge fraud stunner has hurt Harris and the Democrats right before Election Day.
This election, more than ever, has largely been characterized as one between two different visions for America, with Kamala Harris and the Democrats representing the far-Left vision and Donald Trump and his Republican coalition representing a sort-of populist Right vision.
Donald Trump has been harping on the campaign trail that the radicalism of the far-Left is too dangerous for Americans to trust. He’s been lamenting the crazy LGBTQ agendas that the Democrats want to use to force onto all Americans everywhere. It’s been an issue bubbling up to the surface and can’t be ignored anymore.
The problem for the Left is that this issue, which they are so serious about standing on, is full of corruption that will turn off Americans. Who can forget the Loudoun County scandal when a “transgender” minor’s attack on another minor was brushed under the rug by a corrupt school board. Many political analysts say that this handed Glenn Youngkin an upset win for the Governorship in Virginia.
According to a new report, the head of an LGBTQ non-profit has been caught literally stealing taxpayer dollars. The individual is being hit with a bevy of felonies that will likely put him behind bars for life.
‘Qu**r Works’ Founder Indicted on Multiple Felony Charges
Jacob Rostovsky, the founder and CEO of the LGBTQ+ non-profit Qu**r Works, has been indicted on 53 felony counts for allegedly embezzling nearly $1 million in taxpayer funds. The charges include fraudulent claims, grand theft, misappropriation of public funds, insurance fraud, perjury, and money laundering.
Rostovsky, who has identified as “openly transgender” since age 13 and describes himself as a “transgender man,” established Qu**r Works in 2018 in California. The organization’s mission focuses on providing mental health support to the “transgender and gender non-binary” community, offering services such as free therapy, workshops, and “gender affirming letters” from licensed therapists after just one or two sessions. These letters can be presented to healthcare providers and insurance companies as evidence of the necessity for gender-related medical treatments.
The District Attorney of Riverside County announced the indictment last week, detailing an investigation that uncovered 89 instances where Rostovsky allegedly submitted false statements and forged documents to obtain over $840,000 intended for the non-profit’s activities. The investigation revealed that Rostovsky diverted a portion of these funds for personal expenditures, including shopping at high-end retailers like Disney and Burberry, and stays at the Beverly Garland Hotel.
In 2021, Qu**r Works received funding from Riverside County for programs aimed at assisting homeless individuals and victims of domestic violence. The following year, the City of Palm Springs granted the organization $200,000 to develop a universal-basic-income pilot program, which was later supplemented by an additional $500,000 grant intended to support 180 participants with monthly stipends.
City spokesperson Amy Blaisdell expressed full support for the District Attorney’s investigation, stating, “The City of Palm Springs fully supports the Riverside County District Attorney’s efforts in investigating and indicting [Rostovsky] for allegedly defrauding the taxpayers of our city, our county and state out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
Further allegations indicate that Rostovsky impersonated a Qu**r Works client to file a fraudulent insurance claim, resulting in a personal gain of $90,000 from the non-profit’s insurance carrier. He also faces multiple accusations of money laundering.
Rostovsky turned himself in at the Riverside District Attorney’s Office on October 17 and was released on bail set at $944,000.
District Attorney Mike Hestrin called for a broader investigation into potential government misconduct regarding the administration of the contracts, stating, “It is simply unacceptable that public funds are handed out with the lack of due diligence or oversight that is alleged in this case. The people of Riverside County deserve better from their public officials who have a duty to act as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
In 2023, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) awarded a $500,000 grant to Qu**r Works for gender-related medical treatments, with payments initiated in February 2024 and halted by late June. While a total of $153,864.14 was disbursed, the indictment does not claim any misuse of these funds.
In a statement to the Desert Sun, CDPH officials noted that upon learning of the investigation in July 2024, they reached out to Qu**r Works, which expressed a desire to terminate its grant agreement effective July 1, 2024. They confirmed that no further funds were issued and stated, “While an initial analysis of progress reports provided to CDPH by Qu**r Works revealed no inconsistencies in their expenditures related to their grant agreement with CDPH, the Department is in the process of determining whether additional actions are required.”
