House GOP Candidate Admitted To Getting A 14-Year-Old Girl Pregnant When He Was 18-Years-Old

In the process of trying to exile GOP House Representative Liz Cheney, Republicans are seemingly beginning to tell on themselves in the most unflattering of ways.

Anthony Bouchard, a member of the Wyoming state Senate and United States House candidate running to unseat Liz Cheney amid the GOP’s distaste for her after she refused the Trump election narrative, has admitted to a local newspaper that he impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 18-years-old and living in Florida. Yes, you read that correctly, 14-years-old.

Bouchard says the pregnancy led to a brief marriage between himself and the underage girl when she was only 15 and him 19. The GOP House candidate claims that he is willingly admitting to the disgustingly inappropriate relationship in an effort to get ahead of the story before the media did as his personal life gets more and more attention amid his candidacy against such a high-profile opponent like Liz Cheney.

Bouchard says the inappropriate relationship took place somewhere around 40 years ago — as if that’s supposed to affect our level of disgust in some way.

In a Facebook live video yesterday, Bouchard said, “Bottom line, it’s a story when I was young, two teenagers, you’ve heard those stories before. She was a little younger than me, so it’s like the Romeo and Juliet story.”

Yes, he actually compared statutory rape to a fictional Shakesperian play. But I digress.

He went on to say that the young girl was under “a lot of pressure” to have an abortion but she ultimately gave birth to a baby boy.

The GOP candidate had that absolute audacity to question “Why is this a big deal?” at one point in the Facebook live video.

Apparently, the young girl’s mother gave permission to a judge for her to wed Bouchard. The two were married for three years before divorcing. Bouchard told the local paper that his young ex-bride committed suicide at the tender age of 20, after their divorce. In his Facebook live video, he almost seemed to explain away the suicide by telling viewers that the girl’s father, who was a police officer, had also killed himself and that the daughter and father were buried beside each other.

Neither accounts have named the late, young mother.

Bouchard goes on to explain that his relationship with his son born from these inappropriate actions is complicated.

“Some of the things that he’s got going on in his life, I certainly don’t approve of them, but I’m not going to abandon him. I still love him. Just like when he was born,” the GOP House candidate said before making a dramatically emotional exit from the video’s frame.

To make himself even more disgusting than he already was, Bouchard went on to frame himself as a victim of “dirty politics” and accuse unnamed political opponents of digging up dirt on him to help “people like Liz Cheney win.”

“This is really a message about how dirty politics is,” Bouchard whined. “They’ll stop at nothing, man, when you get in the lead, when you get in the lead, and when you’re somebody that can’t be controlled, you’re somebody who works for the people. They’ll come after you. That’s why good people don’t run for office.”

Buddy, Liz Cheney called bullshit on Donald Trump’s election lies. You raped a 14-year-old child (Because, yes, that is statutory rape. I don’t care if she “consented.” She was underage, he was 18,) impregnated her, pushed her into a marriage when she was only 15, divorced her, and then used her suicide as a sob story for “dirty politics.” Not. The. Same.
