Originally published at: Bizarre Texts, Gifted Guns, 30 Types of Ice Cream: Rep. Faces Censure Following Sexual Harassment Allegations - TPM – Talking Points Memo
The bipartisan House Ethics Committee on Monday recommended that Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) be censured for his behavior towards two young women on his staff. As documented in a report and accompanying appendix, Edwards lavished the staffers with gifts including “guns,” sent romantic text messages and relentlessly sought to spend time alone with them. Edwards…
The people of North Carolina will reelect him, proving that they have no decency.
Once again, Tim Walz was right.
Obviously, NC GOP voters won’t care about this. They wouldn’t care even if he had Swalwelled them.
I’m more curious how Mrs. Roberts feels about hubby spending so much money, time and attention on a couple of college girls.
The Adam Sandler tickets should be disqualifying.
Jfc. But remember, rotten orange is their hero. This is all of them. Just that this perv has been outed. All are garbage. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I don’t mean to blame his wife, but what red flags were out there like charge card expenses, strange absences , or excuses not to be home? Young women are so vulnerable around these creeps.
He was when calling the republicans “weird”. He then stopped saying it when he became the VP nominee 2 years ago.
Edwards lavished the staffers with gifts including “guns,” sent romantic text messages and relentlessly sought to spend time alone with them. Edwards has been in the House since 2023, and is married. The committee emphasized that it found no evidence that Edwards committed sexual assault or explicitly propositioned the women for sex.
Or you could posit that no evidence isn’t the same as ‘absence of other evidence’ as in - did he pester male staffers constantly to have intimate dinners with him too?
A KitchenAid mixer. That’s how you know it’s love.
In all fairness, what young woman could possibly resist Sebastian Gorka’s creepier brother, and his hunka hunka burnin’ dye job?
and relentlessly sought to spend time alone with them
Oh!
What he did was wrong? ; - )
Did his Grindr profile surface already?
That and the guns.
damn right
The gerrymandered GOP supermajority in the NC state legislature passed a gerrymandered congressional map that cracked Asheville between two extremely rural districts, allowing people like Chuck Edwards and Madison Cawthorn to get elected. Both Edwards and Cawthorn have made a point of having no offices in Asheville, as neither of them have any interest in addressing the needs of constituents there.
Really. Do they expect him to hide his light under a bushel?
Gross. ![]()
You mean he was stopped. By the campaign consultants.
Another day ending in day for Republicans.
Hey man, long time no talk. Question for you. Do most Canadians hate all of us now, or do they still distinguish between Trump and the extreme minority who support him, and all of the rest of us? What’s your take on your fellows’ opinions about the U.S.?
