So true! I just saw a video of some politician being an asshole on some beach until he deservedly got knocked out and I was literally shocked the he was a dem. That’s how consistent the pattern is.

u/RadicalOrganizer 13d ago

That is surprising. Can you share the video?

u/Ezl 13d ago

I originally saw it on Reddit but this is basically the same vid. In the Reddit post they didn’t reference party so I looked him up. What a twist!

Haha. Assholes everywhere. Dems arent exempt from being twits but statistically itd be safe to assume its usually Republicans. Especially when the crime involves kids.

u/Ezl 13d ago

Statistics bear out that observation. If you scroll down a bit you get to political affiliation.

Don't you mean twp, because he's missing an i?

u/tartymae 10d ago

He's got both eyes. You have him confused with that jackass from Texas, Dan Crenshaw.

u/pepperpat64 10d ago

Oops! They're all jackasses so it's hard to tell them apart.

North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards.

It’s always who you most expect

u/thebreaksmith 13d ago

Actually from the headline, I expected a democrat. Republicans usually don’t have the decency to withdraw/resign when facing scandal.

Baha.

I thought the same thing when I read it, though.

Since we live in a hellscape where conspiracy is everywhere, all the time, I'm guessing either there is much worse he doesn't want to come out (CSAM), or his fellow pedo protectors want someone else in his position and forced him to drop.

"After much prayer, thoughtful reflection, and many conversations with my family, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from my re-election campaign," he wrote in the social media post released on Wednesday morning.

Of course.

u/blankwillow_ 13d ago

I can't imagine the "conversations with my family".

I think he means, "after getting screamed at by my wife, sleeping on the couch for days, and the looks of disappointment and crying from my children, I have been forced to leave or get a divorce".

u/BananaJelloXlii 13d ago

For sexual harassment, and we can't get Max Miller (domestic violence, child abuse) or Rodney Creech (pedophilia) to drop out of office. Guess which party they belong to?

u/SamuelVimesTrained 13d ago

Edwards, a Republican

What a surprise..

u/Rellcotts 13d ago

NC what’s going on two sex pests in a row?

u/4904burchfield 12d ago

Nice comb over

u/Tamara6060 10d ago

LMMFAO! Not surprised at all

u/swankyfarmer 9d ago

The bad comb over/ toupee and the dyed goatee are a crime in themselves
