Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard (R), who’s challenging Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for her House seat, acknowledged in an interview with Casper Star-Tribune that he impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 18.

That’s not creepy at all.
Well, he DID marry her and they DID keep the baby. She killed herself years later, which is sad, but it does happen - even in the best of families!
How about giving him some props for doing the right thing even though he was a dopey teenager? Why are some of you falling into this trap set by Cheney’s handlers?
The ‘Republican Purists’ around here will never be satisfied, I guess. *SHRUG*
Yep these damn Republican purists continue to vote for the likes of Graham, Collins, Merkowski, Romney, and McConnell GO FIGURE!!!
Good candidates don't get 14 year olds pregnant. Good candidates don't get thrown under the bus, terrible candidates lose elections that should be won.
This loser hasn't even come close to being nominated, it is moronic to support him now. If it was the day before the election, and there was no alternative, then go for it.
Cheney’s will flood the field of opposition
That bitch Mary Cheney is behind this.
An 18 year old and a fourteen year old fall in love, have sex, have a baby.
He marries her. Later on they divorce.
A story as old as Adam and Eve.
On what planet is this a scandal?
A left wing rag says he’s not good candidate. They said they same about Trump. You going to dust bin him, too?
All across the country formerly red states are now blue. All because GOP voters won’t stand and fight. There is seemingly always a good reason to cut and run. They fold at the first sign of adversity while our fascist opponents burn down the country. Binning this candidate based on one leftist report is silly.
I noticed that, too.
Mary Cheney’s secret army of puritanical slanderers.
So predictable.
This makes me dislike her more than ever.
So you think an 18 year old is an adult? They love them in the military because they are incredibly stupid an mailable. An 18 year old boy and an oversexed 14 year old girl are not the best combination for restraint of behavior.
I wouldn’t call that crowd ‘pure’ by any stretch. ;)
No, the guy told us directly that he got a 14 year old girl pregnant, who later killed herself, and is estranged from his son. If you don't understand the imperative to avoid candidates with critical flaws, you are the reason red states turn blue. You have to win elections to stay red. Putting up losers like this guarantee we lose.
"All across the country formerly red states are now blue. All because GOP voters won’t stand and fight."
See above, it people who fail to understand that we need candidates who can win that are turning red states blue. No unforced errors, start with a clean candidate.
The 14 year old was so distraught she MARRIED the guy. How awful of her have the baby and do that.
Fragging our own will just make it so no sane person ever run as a Republican. Nobody needs these knives in their back.
Regardless, thanks for illustrating exactly why the GOP loses and why our near 250 of American Heritage is going up in flames.
You don’t think we can do better than a guy who got a 14 year old pregnant (who later killed herself)? Like putting this guy up is begging to keep Cheney.

True that! Running him is truly asinine. My motive for posting “So what?” was only to trigger some response.
And then killed herself. Way to go bro. And I'm sure the press interviews with the estranged kid are gonna be awesome.
"thanks for illustrating exactly why the GOP loses"
The dude isn't the only candidate, the face that you are so eager to suck up on him is freaking pathetic. Pick someone better.
