There’s a disturbing pattern that keeps popping up in American public life.
Have you noticed that time and again, the loudest voices screaming about how awful and immoral President Trump is turn out to have very serious skeletons rattling around in their own closets? We’ve noticed. It seems like the left’s moral megaphone is blaring one minute, and the mugshot headlines follow pretty close behind.
Now we have another one of these disturbing types of cases to share with you. Another anti-Trump TDS radical, who was just arrested for one of the most disgusting crimes on earth.
Robert “Bobby” Edwards, the millionaire entrepreneur behind the wildly successful “Squatty Potty” brand and a former Shark Tank darling, has been federally charged in a child exploitation case that has rocked Utah.
Of course, Edwards has pleaded not guilty, and the case will play out in court. But the basic facts laid out by federal prosecutors are disturbing and damning. We’ll get to those shortly.
But there’s more to this story than just legal facts, because right now, many Americans are openly questioning the much bigger left-wing agenda when it comes to kids and adult political activism. Especially around the very disturbing transgender movement, which targets young kids.
“We aren’t transing kids. No one is doing that. It’s right wing talking point.”

That concern has been growing for years, and cases like this pour fuel on the fire.
And of course, we can’t ignore the fact that the media will be very selective in how they report on this alleged crime. But one thing you can bet is they won’t be calling up Bernie Sanders and asking him to disavow one of his biggest and loudest supporters.

Because Mr. Edwards was never shy about his hatred for President Trump or his love of all things “Bernie.”
The case against Edwards is solid. It centers around allegations that federal investigators uncovered illegal material tied to the Squatty Potty founder during a multi-year probe.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Utah, the investigation began in 2021 and eventually led to a federal grand jury indictment earlier this year. Edwards is being held without bail as the case moves forward.
Here is the X post that’s spreading like wildfire online:
Utah gay Trump Derangement Syndrome-afflicted Bernie Sanders Democrat charged in Federal child porn case. Robert “Bobby” Edwards, the creepy Squatty Potty millionaire founder pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail after a grand jury indictment.
The millionaire founder of Squatty Potty has been federally charged with receiving child pornography in Utah, authorities said.
Robert “Bobby” Edwards, 50, was arrested for allegedly buying and receiving countless images of child sexual abuse material between March 2021 and November 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Utah announced Monday.
The entrepreneur whose product promises to help users “get off the toilet” was indicted by a federal grand jury Feb. 10 and arrested Feb. 12 in Washington County, Utah.
Edwards pleaded not guilty in his initial court appearance and was ordered held without bail by Judge Paul Kohler in St. George, authorities said.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, in March 2021, an undercover FBI agent joined an online meeting room where people were viewing child sexual abuse material videos on a main screen.
“Participants in the meeting were visible, including one user later identified as Edwards,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Four years later, in May 2025, FBI agents said they found the Squatty Potty founder allegedly bought more child sexual abuse material using an online payment account.
On Nov. 4, 2025, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Edwards’ home, where investigators said they found a cellphone in his vehicle that “contained multiple videos and images of child sexual abuse material, some of which downloaded onto the cell phone just two weeks before the search warrant was executed.”
They allegedly also found more images of child sexual abuse material in the home.
Edwards founded the Squatty Potty in 2011 with his mother, father and brother, according to the Washington County Historical Society. The idea came after a doctor told his mom that using a footstool to raise her knees on the toilet would help with longtime constipation.
Edwards, seeing a business opportunity, fashioned a footstool with a cut-out that could wrap around a toilet base.
In 2012, the Edwards family featured their invention on the show “The Doctors” and then pitched the product on ABC’s “Shark Tank” two years later. They made a deal with Lori Greiner, one of the show’s investors, and had $12.3 million in sales within three months of their “Shark Tank” appearance.
“Now everyone is like, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’” Edwards said in a 2018 CNBC interview. “I have proven a lot of people wrong, and it’s felt really good.”
The company was purchased by Aterian, Inc. in 2021. Aterian released the following statement after Edwards’ indictment:
“Aterian has no affiliation, partnership or ongoing relationship with Mr. Robert Edwards. Edwards was part of a group, including private equity firms, that sold specific assets to Aterian in a one-time transaction in 2021. Following the completion of that acquisition, all associations with Edwards and his family ceased. He is not an employee, a partner or a stakeholder in our company. Any claims to the contrary are categorically false.
“We are deeply disturbed by the indictment against Edwards. The nature of these allegations is abhorrent and wholly inconsistent with our company’s values. While the family was previously referenced on our website in a historical context, we have removed those references. They have no role in our brand’s present or future. Aterian remains committed to the mission of Squatty Potty: improving digestive health for our consumers.”
During Edwards tenure at Squatty Potty and even after he sold the company, Squatty Potty has posted some of the most grotesque and disturbing social media posts. Edwards own social media account contains alarming posts and gay activist images that coincide with the period of time he was engaging in child pornography.

The Squatty Potty brand became a household name after its breakout moment on Shark Tank. Edwards was widely celebrated in entrepreneurial circles as a gay, liberal success story.
Now things look very different, don’t they?

You can’t help but wonder if he sold his million-dollar business to chase what he saw as his real passion in life: child porn.
The legal process will ultimately determine Edwards’ fate, and that process matters, but like we said earlier, they’ve got a strong case, and Mr. Edwards is likely in some very big trouble.
