Accuser: GOP Candidate Masturbated 'Penis In His Hand' In Front Of Me

By DANIEL STRAUSS Published OCTOBER 10, 2014, 6:00 PM EDT

Republican Congressional Candidate Carl DeMaio, running in California's 52nd Congressional District, allegedly once asked a campaign staffer to come into his office and when the staffer did DeMaio, whose back was turned, turned around and masturbated in front of the staffer.

That's according to Todd Bosnich, a former staffer for the DeMaio campaign, who detailed the allegations of alleged sexual harassment against the Republican candidate, which included making inappropriate advances, massaging and kissing his neck, and groping, in an interview with CNN that aired Friday afternoon.

"I saw his hand —— his penis in his hand," Bosnich said when describing the incident. "He had a smile on his face. And as soon as I came over, he was looking at me."

Well, being you have to be a complete moron to be gay and Republican, I'd say it's true.

He's also convinced Dems are living in LA LA Land and refuse to accept it's a dangerous world.

He's a fan of FOX "News".

Mention the gay issue to him and he says, "That's not all they're about" and then I see him post something on Facebook of a list of Dems who supposedly voted against the troops. It's infuriating because he comes off with the usual smug superiority while being 100% WRONG on every issue.

But that's not all they're about. They're anti-women, too. The two usually go together.

They also vote against veterans.

I guess he's fooled by the flag lapel pins and the fact that they love to make their military contractor friends rich. Too bad.

even though we have the likes of DeMaio and Filthy Filner (at least HE'S gone) in our fair city, please don't paint with a broad brush. We welcome your tourist dollars and know you'll have a GREAT time while visiting!

And as a resident of the 52nd congressional district, I will be pulling the lever for Scott Peters.

Game Network on, too. I think it's a terrific idea, since "news" is so tainted. These old game shows can keep you engaged while you're waiting and not turn you into a hatemonger.
