Christian Conservative Speaker of the Ohio House arrested in $60 million bribery case

Ohio’s Republican Speaker of the House Larry Householder was just arrested by federal authorities in a $60 million bribery and conspiracy case. Householder ran for office in 2018, saying: “I’m a Pro-Gun, Pro-Life, Christian Conservative with the highest NRA rating in Ohio’s history.”

Also arrested were an advisor to the Speaker, the state’s former GOP chairman, a former Ohio Civil Rights commissioner, a consultant, and Neil Clark, who boasts of being “one of the best-connected lobbyists in Columbus” on his company’s website.

A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney David DeVillers described the case as a “public corruption racketeering conspiracy involving $60 million,” the Cincinnati Enquirer also reports.

Saying, “this is about right and wrong,” Householder drew headlines last year when he attacked the Ohio Library Council, and a local library for being “a resource for teenage boys to learn how to dress in drag.”

The library had scheduled an event for teens which was to “include a drag queen makeup tutorial, crafts, a safe-sex program, and games,” NewNowNext reported. The event was relocated.

DeVillers has scheduled a 2:30 PM local time press conference.

I don't know who this is made for. The only people still interested in her are Republicans desperately clinging onto their last boogeyman, and I can't imagine that most of them will care to watch it.

That's a worse idea than the Confederacy show HBO thought about doing.

What if Hillary was the first woman president of the CSA?

Not knowing about the die-hard Hillary sycophants is a significant blind spot in the bizarre landscape of US politics.

Did you know 1 in 4 Clinton primary supporters in 2008 voted for John McCain in the general election when she didn't get the nomination?

But she hasn't been part of the political landscape for almost four years, and my feeling was that she was always more a candidate of convenience for most than one who engendered any particular passion. I'm sure she has a diehard base as all politicians do to some degree, but I can't imagine it's big enough to justify a retconned miniseries.

she literally chimes in with needless, divisive, spiteful rhetoric any moment she can

What if Hillary got blown by Monica Lewinsky?

If calling out Trump's idiocy on social media qualifies as being part of the political landscape, then I hope that I and many more hundreds of millions around the world can rely on your vote this November.

I really don't understand why you get so verklempt still about someone who's political career is over, can you not just leave her to run her pizza restaurant in peace?

I don't understand what's causing this blind spot for you but I don't think I can overcome it with any number of examples
