Dunno. Do you have an example of a right-wing child politician?

Don't think that counts. This guy had no previous political activity, was thrown into the sunlights by hostile media then disappeared (afaik) after it backfired.

I think he/his situation is a useful datapoint. He was vilified, only to later learn that the Native American man had himself engaged in "racism" ("blackface" halloween costume).

It's very simple. Regardless of whether you are a child, if what you have to say is consistent of the narrative a media outlet wants to promote, you will get coverage. If it is not consistent, provided it is not newsworthy or controversial, you will not get coverage.

I have 5+ major newspaper quotations, a podcast, and TV appearance that backs this up. Why? Because what I had to say was consistent with what they wanted to say.

I get your point. Still I think that the right do not seem to spontaneously propel kids into the spotlights. The op mentioned prolife. I read that the prolife movement is very strong in the US, yet it has not produced a 15 yo girl accusing the adults of murder. Maybe it will now.

You get my point, so I'm repeating myself, but... It won't, because it's a narrative that runs counter to what most media outlets want to promote. Both the right and the left use children to promote their views. You just see the left's more often because they get coverage.
