Gene Abdallah was a South Dakota state legislator. When he was nominated for the Board of Pardons and Paroles, a woman came forward alleging when he was a lawmaker and she was an ACLU lobbyist he asked if he could watch her pee. He denied it but withdrew his name from consideration.
His denial was disgusting, “I resent the fact that she’s using sleazy and gutter politics for some sort of personal gain. If she’d spent as much time trying to keep her family together maybe she’d still have them now.”
