Lawmaker Changes Party Before Being Expelled

March 2, 2018 at 9:09 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

Colorado state Rep. Steve Lebsock “was expelled from the House in a 52 – 9 vote Friday, following allegations of sexual misconduct by five women,” KDVR reports.

“The effort, led by Democrats, was successful in barring Lebsock from his position.”

“At the last minute, Lebsock changed his party affiliation to Republican… Colorado law says a vacancy will be filled by a person in the same political party. That means Lebsock’s party change gives his seat to Republicans, despite the fact he was a Democrat until Friday.”

then at the last minute shoot the arrow into your party. What a slime.

He sounds perfect for a job in the Trump administration. I hear there are lots of openings available!
