Kyle Biedermann (R), who is running to unseat a fellow Republican in a March primary, blasted the state House for expelling former Rep. Bryan Slaton (R), “who had sex with a 19-year old intern after plying her with alcohol,” the Texas Tribune reports.
Said Biedermann: “Was he convicted? What was his crime? Is it a crime to have sex with a 19-year-old woman? In your house, not at the Capitol.”
Every member of the GOP-dominated House voted to remove Slaton last year after an ethics investigation.
