Republicans are constantly screaming about how Democrats are pedophiles, that they support grooming children into perverted lifestyles, etc. etc. So why is it that nearly every time we see a story about a public official, camp counselor, clergy person or other authority figure sexually abusing kids, harassing women, or possessing child porn, it's a member of the Grand Old Party?
The latest example is now-former Representative Scotty Campbell of the Tennessee General Assembly, who has quickly resigned after being confronted by the press about sexually harassing legislative interns. (Cannabis gummies and a lot of lunging were involved.) The sweet side of this story is that Campbell was one of the Neanderthals who led the fruitless Republican charge against the Tennessee Three. Now, the two Justins are back in, and Campbell's the one who's out.
Are these Republicans all morons, or is Campbell just more proof that folks who hate government are terrible at governing? Or are they just awful, awful people? Can we check "all of the above"?
P.S. The GOP's Tennessee Three own goal has also shone a spotlight on the execrable speaker, Cameron Sexton, who has residency issues and, ugh, apparently likes to sleep with lobbyists. Stay tuned. We cats PURR.
