GOP candidate announced his school board bid with a Bible verse – then got busted for sexting an underage girl

https://www.rawstory.com/louisiana-school-board-candidate-busted/

A Louisiana school board candidate is accused of soliciting nude photos from an underaged girl on Snapchat, The Advocate reported this week.

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office says a woman contacted them and said her 15-year-old daughter had exchanged messages that were "sexual in nature" with Joshua Schopp, 20, on the platform. The victim reportedly lied about her age to Schopp initially, telling him she was 17.

But even after learning the victim's true age, Schopp continued to ask for nude photos and sent her a video of himself with his genitals exposed -- a video which the mother screen-recorded and handed over to police.

Police conducted a search warrant at his home and found clothing matching the person in the video. Schopp was then arrested and brought to EBRSO headquarters for questioning.

I guess for a GQP pervert in Louisiana, anything is possible.

Hey MTG, you're so worried about protecting "children's innocence", how about doing something about your fellow GQPer Schopp who was Schopping for some underage companionship?

Probably the case in every state. If there are no age restrictions, anyone, 18 years of age is an adult and can hold office.

Even though they are legal adults, I'd prefer a candidate that's older and has more emotional maturity and wisdom.

OTOH, Trump was 70 when he was elected and he had none of either quality.

he's running to make sure your kid can't read "The Diary of Anne Frank," or "Maus."

Anybody getting the idea that the GOP is worried about the wrong things?

There was also some offensive reference in the first few pages of Kafka's America that needs examination to see if it should be banned.

His intentions are good.
