Rumors UPDATED
I hope this doesn’t give you a shock but Republican State Representative and Baptist minister and Baptist Youth Director Bryan Slaton is accused of having and “inappropriate relationship” with an intern in his office.
I know. Surprising, ain’t it?
The Texas Tribune has the story.
The complaint came after an incident in which Slaton and the staffer allegedly met up at his Austin apartment last weekend. A separate staffer told The Texas Tribune that Slaton drank alcohol with an intern under 21 years old.
The intern, rightly so, ain’t talking to the public after reporting the event(s).
Slaton is back in Austin hiding behind his criminal defense lawyer.
I liked this quote from the article:
“Patrick Short, the attorney for Slaton, issued a statement Monday morning … “We are aware of outrageous claims circulating online by second-tier media that make false claims against Representative Slaton…”
I bet what they REALLY don’t like are the true claims.
1Shocking I say. Just shocking. Out of (cross that out) in character. All that projection shined right back at another righteous, above reproach, fake and a repugnantican politician. Nice try Bryon. Kind of Matt Gaetzish.
2He sure does a lot of denying for someone that claims he hasn’t done anything.
3Dayum. Mamas teach your daughters not to trust old men in Texas politics or any Republicon involved in politics anywhere. Sons, too. btw Old Pat is not that old – 45. Obviously too old to be indulging himself with mauling a minor after prying her with alcohol. But. Not only is he Short by name and several metrics, he looks to be older than Newt Gingrich or Chuck Grassley.
4The Dallas Morning News has a new story with the following headline:
North Texas lawmaker hires defense attorney after infidelity allegations
Rep. Bryan Slaton, R-Royse City, retained a criminal defense attorney in Rockwall in advance of possible investigation.
As my spouse always says, “The straighter the arrow, the bigger the kink.”
5Cue Tucker Carlson to tell his viewers that’s only natural, that pols take advantage of interns all the time, forget about it!
6Grandma Ada, I’m just speculating here but I would not be surprised if the Tuckster doesn’t have a few similar skeletons in his closet. I’d love if that came to light. Again, just speculating mind you in case he wants to sue me. My 1st amendment rights.
7And the evangelicals just keep rolling along. But, her emails…Hunter Biden…Bud Light…! Pathetic and sick.
8Yet again the admonition to “lock up yer horses and yer wimmen
9‘cuz the Leg is commin’ to town” proves eerily true. Strange, huh?
Why are y’all assuming the intern was a girl?
10Rumor has it that Slaton also offered the intern a mifepristone pill, from one of the many he has hidden in his top drawer, to take the worry out of drinking and being alone with him.
11Former Baptist youth minister. Says it all, don’t it?
12He@10
13The article attached uses the pronoun “her”
Southern Baptist hypocrisy should be one word.
14What?!?!? That brave and bold conservative might be a hypocrite?!?!? Get outta town!!!!!
15Hypocrite seems a too gentle a word for this turpitude level. I can’t think of a maxima synonym that fits.
16The definition of sanctimonious.
17The latest is he was giving her a “Loyalty Test”
18RIIGHT!
