N.H. state rep (R) running for re-election charged with felony domestic violence assault

A New Hampshire state representative is accused of choking a pregnant intimate partner and kneeing her in the back during a domestic assault earlier this summer in Boscawen.

Republican Rep. Robert Forsythe, 38, who is seeking re-election this November, faces one felony count of second-degree assault and two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence in connection with the incident in the early-morning hours of June 28. Forsythe, a Boscawen resident, is out of jail on bail conditions, including electronic monitoring, pending the resolution of the case in Merrimack County Superior Court in Concord.

House Republican Leader Dick Hinch condemned the alleged behavior, saying “domestic violence and assault are unacceptable and wrong and have no place in our society,” but he stopped short of calling on Forsythe to resign.

“Rep. Forsythe is the only person who can put pen to paper, and sign a resignation letter,” Hinch said. “The people of Boscawen have the right to ask him to resign if they believe he can no longer represent them. They also have the ability to vote for alternative candidates, including write-ins, if they believe they no longer want Rep. Forsythe to represent them in Concord.”

Once the story was published online Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Chris Sununu quickly called for Forsythe to step down.

4. Why do they all look like that?

Seriously. They all have a certain look. It's like incels have taken over the republican party.

5. well, he was a breeder (he choked his preggo partner), but yes, that is a look common

to Rethugs. I have no really full explanation, I am sorry. All I would do is waste your time speculating.

6. Yep. Pretty much spot on.

It's perfect.

7. I find it interesting that...

People in the state have evolved to a point where domestic violence has become a crime. Sure wasn't true when I was enslaved and beaten regularly, some of my siblings raped and whatever female pretend mother figure floating through could be raped and beaten too. And according to authorities, that was all okay because we weren't being starved or actually killed by a rapid method. Same in Maine and the rest of New England.

So this asswipe abuser got busted, I hope the new rules actually put his sorry butt where it should be, in jail. Maybe a regrooving program can be initiated for these shitheads so they can act like civil humans when they get out.

Wish such public interest was in place when I was there.
