Tennessee Republican David Hooven has vowed not to be alone with “a member of another sex” if elected to the state’s House of Representatives, as “from Presidents to janitors all are tempted.” Hooven made the pledge on his official campaign website, where he said that if elected “my primary focus will be to honor God.”
Completely unnecessary thing to commit to for a normal person with a properly aligned moral compass. This dude is creepy as fuck.
“You can’t trust me to behave like an adult in a room with just one other person, but you can trust me with the power of the state.”
I mean it sounds a heck of a lot more like he doesn’t want to create any room for false accusations. I know professors who follow this logic and don’t hold private meetings with any students primary out of protection of themselves from being accused of something. If you’re a politician with enemies I can at least see the logic to some extent.
Next week’s article: “Tennessee Republican David Hooven’s mistress has alleged…”
Right?! This reads like “had some issues in the past, but so far they’ve all been under the rug, and need to keep it that way.”
Does he own a gun?
Because if he’s tempted to rape any women he’s alone with, wouldn’t he also be likely to kill someone?
Men can have sex with each other too. As a man, I don’t know if I’d feel safe alone with him. Maybe no one should be alone with him. I don’t think anyone would be safe.
Holy fuck. What a low bar these voters have. And wanna bet this guy will break the no-rape pledge?
Religious people terrify me
I must be some kind of super human man as I can spend hours with women without having sex. Is there any way to monetize this outworldly power?
So, Mike Pence again?
