The Disgusting Chairman of #45's 2016 Oklahoma Campaign is in Big Trouble
-
Republican Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shortey has been hit with child prostitution charges after being caught having sex with a child within 1,000 feet of a church in Moore, Oklahoma. Sen. Shortey is known for being the chairman of #45's campaign for Oklahoma in 2016. He's also known for introducing a bill in the Oklahoma state legislature outlawing the use of aborted fetuses as food. Yeah, I know :crazy2:
Now wasn't there a situation last year where the son of Michael Flynn retweeted some nonsense about Hillary Clinton and Democrats running a child molestation ring out of a pizza restaurant? And wasn't there a horrible shooting as the result of that dangerous misinformation? Now we have a REAL instance of a REAL person involved in lawmaking committing a horrible crime against a child. I haven't said it before on here but I'm saying it now, Republicans are dangerous.
The Republican party in Oklahoma is letting him keep his job by the way, they've only suspended some of his privileges. Are we surprised by that though? :crazy2:

Let's face it. The Republican party is now the fascist party of America. This was not always the case. I have to admit that I admire Geoge H. W. Bush. Uh, loath his politics tho. H.W. could greet the minions of foreign gov'ts BY NAME! This is a good thing. W. and Trump would be hard pressed to tell you who is/was head of Mexico or Canada. This is totally not good. I think we can attribute this whole split to Nixon's 'Southern Strategy'. Conservative Dem's (John Connally who rode in JFK's fatal car) switched parties. Moderate Republicans (hey, did you know that Elizabeth Warren was one? Me neither.) were forced out of the party, or at least left voiceless. We are in a political wilderness and we need a good guide.

fascists ::)
It's another word that has lost all meaning due to the left throwing it at everyone they disagree with.

It's just sad how quickly everyone got over Republicans spreading a lie that could have cost people their lives in that pizza restaurant; meanwhile, a Republican has been caught literally in the middle of a real child prostitution ring and it's no big deal. To make it worse, he served as #45's Oklahoma campaign's chairman! So ironic.

Stupid question…..does doing it within 1000 feet of a church make it more of a crime?
-
I haven't heard of that being the law, but 50 states with their own laws so you never know.
In Texas, you can't have an adult bookstore (wink, wink) within a certain distance from a school, church and a few other places.

I just feel like the punishment for child prostitution and the punishment for child prostitution within 1000 feet of a church should be the same.

The really disgusting thing on display here is the outright hypocrisy of many Republicans- they had no trouble pushing the totally debunked pizzagate just because they were trying to hurt Democrats.
But here is a proven case of child prostitution on display- and because it's one of their own implicated, their response and condemnation is nowhere near as intense.
At least have some consistency with your principles! ::)
