Ohio Republican Party calls on House candidate to drop out of race over Ashley Madison account

Source: Cincinnati Enquirer

COLUMBUS - The Ohio Republican Party is asking House candidate Joe Dills to withdraw from the three-way Clermont County primary after Dills admitted to signing up for an Ashley Madison account in 2013.

“Mr. Dills crossed a line by joining this lewd and inappropriate website," party Chairman Jane Timken said in a statement Friday. "I call for his immediate withdrawal from the race. There is no place in our party for people that exercise such a gross lack of judgment.”

Dills disclosed Friday that he signed up for an account with the online dating and social networking service marketed to people who are married or in relationships to "connect with women for inappropriate relationships."

Dills, who was endorsed by the Clermont County Republican Party and Ohio Republican Party, said in a Facebook post on his campaign's website that it was a mistake to join the website. Dills, of Union Township, said he was single at the time and said he never used the site to actively meet with anyone.

How does having an Ashley Maddison account stack up against paying porn stars for sex, paying off porn stars after sex or raping/sexually assaulting a few dozen women ?

(They don’t care if you’re married or not)

Some reports have also noted that, once a person gets past the initial sign-up page, he or she can choose "happily married" or "unhappily married" as a status before finalizing a profile and meeting new potential dates.

A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.

The Ohio Republican party is wasting its energy. NO REPUBLICAN CARES!

Surely they are not that daft. In fact, who ever of those initiated it, maybe Chairman Timken, may even get bombarded on Twitter by deplorables for being a Never Trumper and worse than Democrats for daring to even request he drop out.
