Singer R. Kelly is being tipped for a bright future in the Republican Party after being arrested on sex trafficking charges.

The arrest marks the latest in a string of sexual charges against R. Kelly, who has faced various accusations over the last two decades.

Leading Republicans now believe that R. Kelly could have a bright future in the party as a result of his criminal background.

‘Sure, he’s committed statutory rape and trafficked some women, but who among us hasn’t?

‘If you ask me, he could be the next big thing for the Republican Party. We’ll be needing another celebrity to take over once Trump stands down and it’ll be nice to have someone we can point to whenever we get called racist,’ one anonymous Republican told us.

Little is known of R. Kelly’s actual political beliefs, but that has never stopped an American politician before.
