Sexual Harassment
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Bill Schuette was the Congressional representative for District 10 for three terms before he ran for US Senate and lost. He served two years in the Michigan Senate before becoming the Attorney General of Michigan from 2011 to 2018 and ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor against Gretchen Whitmer in 2018. He’s a fairly typical conservative Republican, opposing gay marriage, abortion, legalization of marijuana, and the Affordable Care Act.

He also denigrates professional women while they are working as shown in this video where he sexually harasses a camera operator insinuating she would want to do more than just film him. You can judge for yourself if women can expect to be treated as his professional equal. In his defense, Schuette said the video was heavily edited. The Detroit News obtained the entire clip and verified the accuracy of the clip, refuting his defense.

Jack Ryan was the Republican candidate for Senate running against Barack Obama in 2004. That campaign was derailed when the media won disclosure of his divorce settlement with ex-wife Jeri Ryan. In the divorce, she stated that he forced her to go to swingers clubs and pressured her to have sex while others watched. This…

James E. Dutschke, who preferred J. Everett Dutschke, ran in 2007 as the Republican nominee for Mississippi State District 16. He lost. He had some legal issues including a conviction for indecent exposure and an arrest for child molestation when he was arrested for sending ricin to President Barack Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, and Mississippi Judge Sadie Holland. Coincidentally, it was Judge Holland’s son who defeated him with more than twice as many votes (3551-1425.)

He was charged with fondling three underage girls at his taekwondo studio, one of whom was just 7 years old. He was arrested for sending ricin in April 2013. He tried to frame an Elvis impersonator for the ricin attack by quoting from his Facebook posts. He eventually pleaded guilty in federal court and was sentenced to 25 years for the ricin letters. He also pleaded guilty to state court to fondling a minor and was sentenced to 20 years for that to run concurrently with his federal sentence.

Indecent Exposure
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Jon Grunseth was the Republican candidate for Minnesota governor when two women spoke up, accusing him of swimming in the nude with them when they were teens staying overnight with his daughter. It is interesting that the allegation of having a consensual affair with an adult woman was what led him to resign and not…

Andrew Buhr, Republican committeeman for Hadley Township in Missouri and an unsuccessful GOP nominee for the Missouri House in 2000, was arrested for statutory sodomy. He did not deny having sex with the thirteen-year-old boy but claimed he thought he was older. Enough on the jury thought it was possible to mistake a thirteen-year-old child…
