So now the GOP convicted pedophile is now being investigated for making racist remarks. This is the kind of person that GOP keeps in office.

AZ House ethics committee launches investigation into Rep. David Stringer's past conduct

PRESCOTT (3TV/CBS 5) - The Arizona House Ethics Committee has formally launched an investigation into questionable behavior by state Rep. David Stringer (R-Prescott).

Two formal ethics complaints have been submitted by fellow lawmakers.

The ethics complaints are directly related to past comments Stringer has made that some considered racist and insensitive.

There was also a news story in the Phoenix New Times that said Stringer was charged with sex crimes when he lived in Maryland 35 years ago.

One of the charges involved child pornography, according to the article.

Rep. Reginald Bolding (D-Phoenix) filed one of the ethics complaints against Stringer.

"The most troubling thing is that voters in his district didn't realize when they elected this guy, that he was charged with child pornography," said Bolding. No matter how long ago it was, and we know he's been making more racially-charged statements."

but the Republican lawmaker from Prescott has said he is not stepping down.

During a House Ethics Committee meeting Thursday, Chairman Rep. T.J. Shope read this statement:

“The Committee has received two ethics complaints against Representative Stringer, and I’ve distributed copies of those complaints to members of the Committee and the subject of the complaints. Pursuant to Rule 14 of the Committee, Representative Stringer will have an opportunity to respond in writing to the complaints.

“In order to facilitate a timely, impartial, and thorough investigation, the Committee will be contracting with outside counsel to investigate the complaints, interview potential witnesses, and provide legal advice. The Committee may widen the scope of the review if additional evidence is presented during the course of the investigation.

“I would urge anyone who has information relevant to this investigation to contact the Committee.

“I cannot give members a sense of when the review may be completed at this time, but we will be working diligently to finish our work as soon as we can without compromising the integrity and fairness of the investigation.”

How in the world was this man elected?

He came from Baltimore and had his record expunged there in 1990 (yes you can do that there). He has three child sex charges including child pornography. Here's more about that https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news...-1983-11183294

He is not a convicted pedophile you lying clown. Falsely making this accusation is grounds for immediate ban. :action-sm

So basically... He had his record cleared, then moved across the country where no one would know of his past crimes....

You would think there would be some kind of security check done by the FBI before people are allowed to run.

Great idea. The FBI should clear all candidates. They would know about his record even after it was expunged.

The telling thing is THE GOP has no issue with his child sex crimes. In fact, they refuse to kick him out...

He ran as a Republican... Lets remember they tried to vote a pedo into office in Alabama as well.

Pedophilia is as common with Repukes as racism and xenophobia. I'm almost starting to think it's a requirement so the GOP has something to hang over your head if you don't tow the line for big business and fuck over your constituents.

Damn you're gullible! An accusation from some Democrat lady after 40 years, right before an election, with the evidence being debunked, and you still believe Roy Moore is a pedophile. Ok, I have large bridge in Brooklyn for sale. I'll give you a good deal on it .
