GOP candidate allegedly sued a Republican activist for stalking to hide his own affair with her: lawyer
written by Matthew Chapman March 4, 2019

On Sunday, Popular Information, a political blog run by Judd Legum, reported an astonishing story about Stony Rushing, a Union County commissioner and gun range owner running for the Republican nomination for the special election in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.

Rushing, who gained attention for campaign ads in which he was dressed up as Dukes of Hazzard antagonist Boss Hogg, apparently filed a lawsuit in 2015 on behalf of his young daughter against Tracy Wesolek, a local Republican operative who later was elected to the Town of Waxhaw Board of Commissioners. The lawsuit sought a temporary no-contact order for “STALKING OR NON-CONSENSUAL SEXUAL CONDUCT,” and vaguely suggested that Wesolek had assaulted or molested his daughter.

But it turned out that Rushing failed to disclose he was having an extramarital affair with Wesolek, and had professed his love for her and suggested leaving his wife for her shortly before he filed the complaint in court. Rushing admitted this after Wesolek’s attorney, John Snyder deposed him in the district court — and he could not provide any evidence for his allegations against Wesolek other than a teasing Facebook post from Wesolek’s son. Snyder speculated to Popular Information that Rushing had fabricated the whole thing to give himself “political cover” against rumors the two of them were involved romantically.

Asked to comment by Popular Information, Rushing said that the judge had forbidden him from discussing the case in his order — but this is not true. He also proclaimed on Facebook that he would be willing to detail his “sexual history from loss of virginity to today” to any reporter who can get McCready on record about abortion, the Green New Deal, and details of the ballot fraud investigation.

4. Rushing threatened to "whip" and "slap" another commissioner

"Mr. Chairman, I'm begging you to call for a recess. He's fixing to get in the middle of getting his rear end whipped."

"What are you going to do in a recess?"

"I might go slap his face."

5. OMG. So Rushing believes North Carolina really needs to send his trucculent, stupid @$$ to Congress.

What a wildly under-qualified P.O.S. he is.

Unbelievable!

Can you imagine how his family members must love their lives with him?

Thanks for the documentary of Republican local politicians! It's HORRIBLE!

We can't afford for the Democrat to lose to this hamhead. It would disgrace the entire party. We'd never get over it.

6. Does anyone else resent how COMPLICATED Republican corruption has become?

It makes my brain hurt trying to absorb WHAT is going on in this article.

Oh for the old days. Used to be scandals could be described in a few words. “Hired a prostitute.” “Took money from a lobbyist.” “Had an affair”

Now, it’s more like childhood game called “Madlibs”or a bad game of Jeopardy — “had an affair with - a Russian spy who - bankrolled the NRA...” “colluded with - nonstate intelligence operation to - hack emails and - steal presidential election while money laundering via - Banks of Cyprus once run by - secretary of treasury”. I’ll take “aiders and abettors for $10 million, please.” “Lobbied on behalf of Ukrainian oligarchs before becoming RNC Deputy Finance Chairman”

I think this one is “Covered up affair by accusing partner in affair of molesting his daughter to avoid interfering with his campaign to replace the GOP congressman who paid people to steal and fake absentee ballots..”

Can’t wait for national enquirer headlines..
Nixon tattoo makes first appearance in federal prison...
Maybe the Enquirer can cover it from the inside
In addition to college young republicans, the GOP can start “Prisoners for ‘Pubs” groups

At least they’ll finally be on board with restoring voting rights for felons
