Discussion: Tennessee House Expels One Of Its Own After Sexual Misconduct Allegations

None were teenagers? Tennessee must be evolving. Good to see them expel this man. Wonder who the two no votes were?

WHY do so many of these sleezy bastids turn out to be Republicans? (Anthony Weiner notwithstanding)

ā€˜Durham wrote to a federal judge in 2014 seeking a more lenient sentence for Bedford County Baptist youth pastor Joseph Todd Neill who was convicted of on federal charges of possessing child pornography (Neill had also pleaded guilty to two state counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, and as part of Neillā€™s federal plea deal, he admitted to initiating a sexual relationship on more than two occasions with a minor who was a member of the church where he was a youth minister). Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey called the move ā€œpoor judgment.ā€ā€™

This little prick threatened to reveal the names of the women he sexually harassed if he got expelled. Okay, knock yourself out.

FOX Brothel is a perfect fit for him.

Durham is in his early 30s.

I canā€™t even imagine making a play for a woman in her early 30s.

Also: unclear on the concept that legislatures make their own rules.

Who were the two who didnā€™t vote his butt out of the House?

So heā€™s going with ā€œThe accusations are false, but even if I did do the things they said I did, those things wouldnā€™t count as sexual harassment anyway.ā€

In other words he knows that his first line of defense, that he didnā€™t do the things heā€™s accused of, is extremely shaky ā€“ he canā€™t be sure what witnesses or evidence might pop up ā€“ so heā€™s laying down a second line of defense, based on pretending** the things heā€™s accused of arenā€™t even examples of sexual harassment in the first place.

** Or maybe heā€™s in deep denial and actually believes that bullshit.

What, you mean to tell me that this upstanding white Christian motherfucker wasnā€™t the lead speaker at the recent Value Voters Summit? Lord, what an oversight!
And who will replace a man of this caliber, since Richard Speck, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer have all passed away?

These fucking ā€œdeplorablesā€ are starting to stack up like firewood. Maybe he can get a job beating up protesters at Trumpā€™s rallies, since he seems like the kind of man who would strike a woman - just like Daddy Trump!

Tom Hiddleston dating Taylor Swift was ā€œpoor judgementā€.
Durhamā€™s actions were fucking criminal.

No teenagers, but I think a few may have been his sisters.
