NORRISTOWN — Montgomery County Republican Committee Chairman Robert Kerns resigned Thursday amid accusations he sexually assaulted a woman last month.

MCRC will follow the procedures outlined in its bylaws on the selection of a new party chairman,” the press release stated. “All day-to-day activities of the committee will continue uninterrupted.

Many outlets here in Philly have been avoiding this major story, preferring to focus on the fundraiser that the President attended here in Philly last night (where the media continued the "Obamacare" pile-on). I expect they are hoping this story will get lost over the weekend.

Edit to fix dupe quote.

3. These idiots think that they can get away with anything when it comes

to this stuff.

One guy came on to my wife in the supermarket one time, he was a low-level borough politico, and I walked around the corner and he actually almost had her cornered. I asked him if I could help him with anything, and he asked my wife, "Is this your husband?" I peremptorally retorted, "Yes, and I am about to become a problem for you." He left quickly...
