Widow of Kentucky politician who committed suicide in response to allegations of sexual misconduct will run for his now vacated seat.

Courtesy of Fox News: 

The wife of Kentucky State Rep. Dan Johnson, who killed himself on Wednesday amid a bombshell report's accusations of sexual assault, announced Thursday that she would pursue her husband’s seat, saying “his fight will go on.” 

Dan Johnson, a preacher and a Republican, committed suicide Wednesday on a bridge in Mt. Washington, according to Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell. The coroner confirmed that Johnson died of a single gunshot wound to the head, and the weapon was found near the 57-year-old's body. 

The statement from Johnson’s widow, Rebecca, said she was running for the position because “these high-tech lynchings based on lies and half-truths can’t be allowed to win the day.” 

“Dan is gone but the story of his life is far from over,” she said.

I think the story of his life is that he was yet another over privileged white guy who hid behind religion while preying on young girls and when he got caught killed himself.

Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

    In the meantime roy moore has found a way to enrich himself,a fund called something integrity fund to investigate voter fraud in the senate race!

    I imagine he gets to keep the money if he "doesn't get enough" to do this so called investigation

    Christians in the US are getting pissed at Evangelicals. Their special brand of crazy has finally tarnished being a Christian. It’s taken way too long in my opinion. People like these yahoos, Moore, Trump, etc, etc, are killing off Christianity AND the GOP. We progressives need to run with this.

      "Christians" like Catholics and Mormons are just as bad as evangelicals.

      Catholics and Mormons both believe in the divinity of Jesus. (That still makes them just as bad as evangelicals, in my agnostic opinion.)

    It seems to me that she's not grieving too hard since it took her exactly one day before announcing that she'll run for her husband's seat.

    OT?'On Friday night, Laura Ingraham and conservative commentator Michelle Malkin slammed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, for his handing of their ongoing Russia investigation.

    “If you’re dying to see California Congressman Adam Schiff, just turn on the television at any point in the day,” Ingraham began. “Any time. Any channel. Because the top ranking Dem on the House Intelligence Committee is the main proponent of the Russia collusion narrative.”
    "“Here’s the problem. He’s like a carnival barker but there’s nothing under the tent!” Ingraham reacted. “There’s not a shred of evidence backing up his accusations. But that doesn’t stop him from playing the mainstream media like a fiddle.”
    Ingraham then brought on Malkin, who joked that the congressman’s “loose lips” may “sink Schiff.”
    "Malkin said. “It is interesting, isn’t it, Laura, that when Mr. Blabby McBlabbermouth of the House Intelligence Committee goes on the Collusion Narrative Network that they never ask him about all of these botched stories that clearly seem to point back to whoever’s leaking these false stories in the first place.”

    Malkin added that Schiff has “FIRED MORE DUDS” than the North Korea missile program in the past year."

    here's the whole report on the gunfondling pastor who offed himself.

    Lots more to it than just the allegation of the accuser.

    The guy was allegedly a lifelong grifter and arsonist!

    Mrs Rep Johnson sure wasted no time dropping her grief and shock to focus on enhancing her power.

    Don't these people make you sick?

    Nobody's going to vote for her anyway.

    suicide is only the answer to terrible terminal illness. he could have fought this. he could have accepted any punishment as a man, not a self pitying child. Al Fracken did. other democrats did. people who do news did. a coward.
