Check out this headline:
Why was he pressured? Well, because people found out he was convicted of sexual abusing teen boys a few decades ago.
You'd think they would include that in the headline. Here's Spotlight Delaware on the Democratic Party Chair in Sussex County, who balked (ironically, as you'll see in a moment) at the initial calls for him to resign.
The Sussex County Democratic Party Chair, Jeff Balk, who was the subject of recent controversy over his decision to remain in leadership despite his past sex crimes against minors, resigned Sunday night ...
His resignation comes amid a growing call from state Democratic leaders for him to step down, two days after Spotlight Delaware first reported on Balk's past. He spent seven years in a Missouri prison in the late 1980s for paying young boys for sex.
This is the party that celebrates Harvey Milk, after all.
Before his resignation, Balk had been at the center of a weeks-long standoff between Sussex Democrats and their state party leadership over whether he should remain in his position as county chair.
Delaware Democratic Party Chair Evelyn Brady had asked Balk to step down earlier this month, citing what she called the best interests of the party. But Balk refused. And his local coalition stood behind him, urging Brady to walk back her demand for his resignation.
Balk finally resigned after all the national Dems from Delaware, including trans rep Sarah McBride, demanded he do so.
Just your normal, small-town Democrat politics?
Old adage in politics: never get caught with a dead girl or a live boy. Nothing new under the sun.
Unless tom hagan comes to your defense, senator.
But why would the Democrats demand that he resign? He fits right in with the rainbow crowd.
The Dems sure attract real winners to their party.
Just resigned? Why not executed?
Delaware politician? Hmmmmm?
This is just who they are. No surprise in the least to anyone who pays attention.
The Pervert Party
Oh yeah, that one has “the look”. Kinda like Chris Wallace.
Kinda like DeNero..................
Then he’s a registered sex offender unless he (probably) got some legal pressure to limbo under that low bar. How tf do people like this get in positions influence lawmaking?
They know how to manipulate people. They manipulated children so adults are no problem...............
John Wayne Gacy all over again.....
Resigned, not promoted?
Old adage in politics: never get caught with a dead girl or a live boy. Nothing new under the sun.
Unfortunately, the DemoKKKrats of my generation (Gen-X) consider both to be resume’ enhancers.
Gee. I would have thought that would have been a huge “resume enhancer” for the rabid, godless, communist, anti-American, RAT party....did I miss something??? /s
aw geez, not this shiite again...
the democrat party is a mental disorder.
Exactly.
And the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the kkk and Japanese internment camps.
