It’s so funny how Republicans love to stir up the moral outrage of the community. Meanwhile they disproportionately seem to have murderers, rapists and child molesters in their ranks.
Well yeah when you believe space babysitters can forgive you for everything shitty you do there’s no need to not be shitty. Just apologize and you’re good.
Imagine having this kind of skeleton in your closet but people have largely forgotten it and you decide to tempt fate by running for public office. What in the dumbass is this? This is next level hubris.
Wow. Even for the GOP, which has no problems with con men, thieves, rapists, and child molesters in their ranks, a convicted murderer is quite an achievement.
Republican Mark Edgington, 53, told the New Hampshire Bulletin last week that he had hoped voters would look past his 1989 second-degree murder conviction, but that it becoming public had caused him and his family distress.
What
He maintains his innocence and told the Bulletin that he was hiding in the motel bathroom during the killing was carried out by a friend.
Great leader he would be
“Who among us hasn’t hidden in a motel bathroom while their friend murdered the manager outside? I ask you! When brought to justice, where I was innocent, I instead pled ‘no contest’ as an innocent person would. I’ll paraphrase my Lord and savior Jesus Christ when I say ‘Let ye who hasn’t been convicted of murder cast the first stone’!” -Edgington probably
Innocent people plead guilty or no contest to charges all the time, tbh. I think what’s crazy is running for office as a member of the party famous for its calls of “law and order” after spending eight years in the big house at the hands of the “law.” You might think that would clue you in that maybe the legal system is not all it’s cracked up to be.
