If You Believe That Text Message Wasn’t An Offer For Quid Pro Quo…

…then Rep. Brian Kelsey has another one for you:

“The Democratic Leadership is so unethical they not only dismissed my claim of lying and sexual harassment that they knew was true, but they’re now trying to browbeat the one person in this state that’s standing up for ethics. First they blamed the victim of the sexual harassment for its becoming public, and now they are trying to punish

the whistleblower for filing the complaint. It’s not going to work. I’ve always stood up for ethics in this state, and I always will.”

The Democratic Leadership dismissed his claim? Excuse me?

The ethics committee is comprised of six Republicans and six Democrats. The motion to dismiss Kelsey’s ethics complaint against the new speaker was put to the committee by Rep. Beth Harwell, veteran legislator and former TNGOP chair.

The vote to dismiss was unanimous. Meaning all six Republicans, including the big two, Jason Mumpower and Glen Casada, voted against him.

Democratic leadership? Not exactly.

    Yes, he is.

    AC, why have you retired the Stuntbaby of Germantown tag? For the past month, it has been excruciatingly appropriate for use in reference to Kelsey.

    It wasn’t conscious but we do seem to have moved on to a higher level since the days of hog parts in envelopes. Wouldn’t you agree?

    Is Kelsey a physician? I thought only doctors had a Christ complex?
