For years, Tim Tebow has been working with state and federal officials to raise awareness to help get laws passed to end human trafficking and child pornography. It’s a cause that is super commendable–for sure. And he’s on the verge of success.

Democrats have taken up his cause, suggesting that President Donald Trump targeted Lemon for his political…
