Eric Swalwell campaigned with New Hampshire’s first trans state rep who faces child porn charges
It has been revealed that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) attended campaign events with former New Hampshire state representative Stacie Laughton, who was arrested in June on child pornography charges.
Laughton, 39, has been federally charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children and aiding and abetting by the US Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts. He was THE FIRST OPENLY TRANSGENDER LAWMAKER IN THE UNITED STATES.
I was going to say, he was made history by being the first federal lawmaker to be indicted for child pornography, but before I said that, I decided to check. And guess what. Not even close.
Here's a list (at the federal level):
Dennis Hastert
Buz Lukens
Mel Reynolds
Anthony Weiner
As far as party identification goes, it's even; 2 R, 2 D.
At the state and local level, the list is much longer.
