Only took 1,000 words to get to the word Democrat. Shocked.
To clarify, the full statement reprinted above (capitalization errors in the original) is the one Gauthier released earlier today, not his later alleged decision to drop out.
Disgusting behavior which he doesn’t renounce. He’s just going to be more careful from now on. Gross.
Let me boil this down to three words - I’m a victim.
I guess you can say that Gauthier really blew his political career.

What is the Democratic/Farmer/Labor party? Is that a obscure democrat?
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
If I were to be plausibly charged with such a disgusting act and were in the public’s eye, I would quickly remove myself from said eye. I suppose Mr. Gauthier does have some sense of shame...for a Democrat.
Not only does he see himself as the victim - but he also took an overdose of pills wanting to parlay his little drama into a ‘pity appeal’ for votes. He’s one creepy democrat...
What a sad day.
The left-wing Minnesota Farmer-Labor party merged with Minnesota's Democratic Party in 1944 (about the time Hubert Humphrey came on the political scene). At times in the Depression both Senators and the Governor had been Farmer-Labor. Ever since, Minnesota Democrats have officially been Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party or DFL.
The DFL is one of those strange Minnesota things. A merger of the Democrat Party with the (even more) Leftist/populist Farmer/Labor party, brought about by Hubert Humphrey during WWII.
Until fairly recently, MN’s Republican Party was officially named the Independent Republican Party, for similarly idiosyncratic reasons.
Maybe he could run for Barney Frank’s old seat. Pun intended.
It "only" took 7 paragraphs to get there.
What’s sad is that there are people who see equivalency between a single, stupid statement on the one hand, and a perverted act that’s a part of a lifetime of perverted acts on the other, and actually favor the pervert.
You need to seriously examine your values, Newz.I am not sure you are on the right forum, but it isn’t my call.
To me, defending the rights of the unborn trump sodomy any day.
I will pray for you, and while I am, please do some soul searching about right and wrong. Do not let the end justify the means, for that is how we got into this present mess.
To quote that old hymn...
Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever, ’twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calv’ries ever with the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth,
They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth.
Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own.
Is this guy married?
I don’t think it was leadership.
