“I think Craig feels the Republican Party threw him under the bus “
Craig threw himself under the bus when he pled guilty.
he cant blame the Republican party or others for that.
Besides, this ‘rowback’ is absurd. Pleading guilty then backtracking from then ... Resigning then backtracking *again*.
This man is as disabled in making decisions as Democrat Sen Tim Johnson (D- SD).
They both should resign - for health reasons!!
I’m not saying his rational is correct but from his perspective he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor that didn’t include any sexual misconduct. He is probably also trying to rationalize his guilty plea to other circumstances around the arrest like the officer claiming he wouldn’t call the media about it and the fact it’s a deferred adjudication meaning had he gone a year without it leaking it would have been expunged from his record and no one would have known about it.
