WV Metro News ^ | January 9, 2021 | Brad McElhinny

Derrick Evans, facing federal charges for entering the U.S. Capitol with a mob, has resigned from West Virginia’s House of Delegates.

“I hereby resign as a member of the House of Delegates, effective immediately,” Evans said in a one-page letter submitted to Gov. Jim Justice and the House.

The House released another statement from Evans expressing regret.

“I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians,” Evans stated.

“I hope this action I take today can remove any cloud of distraction from the state Legislature, so my colleagues can get to work in earnest building a brighter future for our state. And more importantly, I hope it helps to begin the healing process, so we can all move forward and come together as ‘One Nation, Under God.’”

THANK YOU LIGHTMAN...THANK YOU SO MUCH

I know this man and this is the second time he’s fallen on his sword.
The first time was about two years ago when he was banned from protesting at local abortion clinic for doing stupid crap.

He fought hard and won to get in the WV House and he falls on his sword again.

The guy’s heart is in the right place, but you can’t fix stupid.

Perhaps its better if people on our side are this idiotic, that they do resign.

Aye.

With “friends” like these who needs enemies?

We all should reread and take to heart 1 Peter this exhortation:

1 Peter 2:19-25

It is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? For if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God’s approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.

“He committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth.”

When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

Why is he playing pattycake? He went to the march for a reason....no? I only hope he will start a local legal and powerful resistance. He certainly wouldn’t be going far making and obeying the laws anyway...since the dems disregard the laws whenever it suits their purpose. Frankly...many repubs aint doing that hot either.
