The Democratic Party doesn’t have a monopoly on shenanigans, as evident by a scandal that recently surfaced in the state of Oklahoma.
So, state tax dollars were used to pay the woman harassed by Kirby, and the situation was handled behind closed doors by the GOP-controlled Oklahoma House of Representatives. Thus, voters in Kirby’s district had no idea of what transpired when they reelected him in November of this year.
Jeff Hickman couldn’t be reelected this year because of term limits on members of the Oklahoma legislature. It remains to be seen if he experiences any negative consequences for his role in this scandal.
As for Dan Kirby . . .
In his resignation letter, Kirby writes, “Recent events have caused a situation where my continuing in office would be such a distraction that I could not serve my constituents in the manner they deserve.”
Recent events have caused a situation? If Kirby were a Democrat, then the Oklahoma GOP would be scolding him for refusing to accept responsibility for causing this scandal in the first place.
In a 01/25/16 letter to the Oklahoma House of Representatives, Hollie Bishop’s attorney states, “Ms. Bishop was sexually harassed by Rep. Dan Kirby and wrongfully terminated in retaliation for reporting said harassment.”
The letter also states that Bishop was not told the reason for the termination of her employment.
Folks, this situation reeks with corruption.
Being that Oklahoma’s House of Representatives is under the control of the Oklahoma GOP, Ricky Ricardo would say to the latter . . .
The “Wanted” posters say the following about David: “Wanted: A refugee from planet Melmac masquerading as a human. Loves cats. If seen, contact the Alien Task Force.”
