Apparently, the stuff that this kid is being accused of (and seems to have admitted to) occurred when he was in sixth grade.

It’s totally fair to slam him for the dumb stuff he is saying now.  But there’s no way stuff you did when you were 11 years old should follow you around in your adult professional life.

Awful take. We aren’t talking about dumb forum posts or underage drinking here, this guy blackmailed someone with nude pictures to try to get more of them. There is no age he could’ve done that at to make it anything other than psychopathic. He should be nowhere near elected office.

There’s a reason why we sometimes prosecute 15-year-olds for adult crimes but never prosecute 11-year-olds.  An 11-year-old is not a morally mature person.  He could have murdered someone when he was 11, and I don’t think it should be held against him as an adult.

I agree that an 11 year old shouldn’t be prosecuted for murder as an adult, but that isn’t what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about ability to hold office. Doing the stuff he did isn’t prosecutable (and shouldn’t be), but it shows he is clearly not well-adjusted. His more recent behavior shows he hasn’t completely changed since then either. Someone who has done those sort of things is not the sort of person who should be in a position of power in my opinion.

The independent jagoff caucus has officially formed:

Good to know there is literally no chance of this kid lasting another term now.
