Sen. Anthony Bouchard says he is staying in the U.S. House race following the disclosure that he impregnated a 14-year-old when he was 18, striking a defiant tone at the possibility that he could face repercussions in the Wyoming Legislature.
“They’re gonna censure me for (what I did) 37 years ago? That’d be great,” he said. “Do it. Bring it on.”
Bouchard has faced a wave of criticism after he acknowledged late Thursday that he had impregnated the girl, whom he married a year later. But speaking to the Star-Tribune after a Monday legislative meeting in Gillette, Bouchard scoffed at the idea that he might drop out.
“I’m standing strong. I’m not going anywhere,” Bouchard told supporters in a Saturday Facebook live video.
Bouchard disclosed the pregnancy after learning he was going to be the subject of an investigative story, which the U.K’s Daily Mail then published Friday.
On Monday, Bouchard declined to answer follow up questions about whether he was still in high school at the time the two met.
“I’m not talking anymore about that, about this story,” he said.

On Friday, the U.K.’s Daily Mail published the story that apparently prompted Bouchard to make the Facebook Live video. It cited “an unnamed Republican operative” who is “in the Donald Trump faction of the party.”
“We want this to be known about him because we need to clean the field,” the operative is quoted as saying. “Five other candidates in the primary are going to split the vote in a small place like Wyoming, and Cheney is going to waltz in again.”

He was picked by the RINO establishment to ensure Cheney wins in Wyoming. No way with this arrogant, shameless freak wins the Statewide primary.
I thought the Romeo and Juliette laws were about HS aged kids with a different of 4 years or less in their ages?
But I’m wrong.
In any case:
“In Florida, it is illegal for a person age 18 or older to have sex with someone under the age of 18, even if the sex is consensual.”
So there it is. It’s rape. Burn him.
He might be 100% agreeable in my thinking, however, I wouldn't want him running against a Dem, because they use DIRTY TRICKS to get elected. We need to get the best possible REPUBLICIAN ELECTED!!
Cheney's campaign staff would love to make ads featuring Bouchard's estranged son. He will be well compensated for saying that Bouchard got drunk and beat his mother on most nights.
No. Get out of the race now.
He won’t win.
Needs to get out.
Maybe he will get the hint
when a dead horse head
is on his driveway.
