Clark County (WA) GOP Elects Convicted Child Predator to Leadership Role

[muriel_volestrangler]

In 2010, a 43-year-old Dan Clark visited the home of a 15-year-old girl repeatedly over the course of two months. He would knock on her bedroom window, use a chair to climb into her house, “hug and kiss” on her bed, provide her with alcohol, give her a secret cellphone to use to communicate with him, and give her wedding magazines for when they would eventually get married.

Clark was arrested on suspicion of 10 counts of residential burglary with sexual motivation, according to court records. He was later convicted of residential burglary, violation of a civil anti-harassment order and furnishing alcohol to minors, and he was sentenced to roughly nine months in jail.

...
Because that creepy-ass guy just got elected chair of the Clark County Republicans Bylaws and Resolutions Committee in Washington. The state’s GOP elected him to a leadership post within their party despite knowing about his past.
...
Again, that’s appreciated, but Blom must have known that Trump admitted to barging into Miss Teen USA dressing rooms so he could look at naked 15-year-olds. What stopped him from leaving in 2016, 2017, or 2018?

You can’t pretend you’re concerned about sexual predation of children when Trump is the party leader and you decide to stay in the party. Just because Clark’s situation is closer to home doesn’t change that.

2. Convicted Child Predator Resigns from Leadership Role in Clark County (WA) GOP

Just days after child predator Dan Clark was elected chair of the Clark County Republicans Bylaws and Resolutions Committee in Washington, he has resigned following all kinds of coverage from news outlets and pressure from even within his own party. The county’s GOP had elected him to a leadership post within their party despite knowing about his past.

The Columbian reports:

Dan Clark, also a precinct committee officer, confirmed Monday that he resigned on Saturday night as chair of the party’s Bylaws and Resolutions Committee. He declined to offer additional comment, including whether or not he intends to remain as a PCO.

It’s entirely possible, then, that Clark will still serve the party in some capacity. Sounds about right for Republicans.
...
Remember: Clark wasn’t kicked out of his seat. He resigned. Had he not done that, there’s no indication the county GOP was going to boot him. The GOP shouldn’t get credit for him stepping down.
