A Trump-backed pastor has dropped out of Oklahoma’s Republican primary after the Daily Mail exposed his intimate relationship with a campaign aide. Jackson Lahmeyer, 34, said in a statement: ‘After prayerful consideration with my wife, Kendra, and my team over the last twenty four hours, I’ve made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for Congress. ‘I do not want to be a distraction to my family, my church, and

“Prayerful Consideration with his wife”. One can only imagine what that prayer session was really like - “Go to hell you cheating SOB and see you in court”. End of prayer session! What is about so many of the preachers who find it impossible to keep it in their pants?

If he was running as a Dimocrat, this would be a qualifying credential.

But when Bill was caught having a bj in the Oval Office, well everyone said "tee hee, isn't that cute. Women I worked with said "that's between him and his wife." No. It wasn't. He was on the phone at the time talking to a senator about sending American troops into a war zone. But then we all know the MSM will do any and everything to destroy Republicans. As for this instance, I don't know anything about it but with all the promiscuity out there by politicians, it's a little odd this became a big deal.

Who in RNC vetted this guy?/ Anyone do background checks on candidates? Did he lie? Not candidate material and not a leader one should follow. His congregation should also have second thoughts.

#4, here's what makes this a Big Deal.
Look at the first name in the article..... TRUMP!
They don't give a 'Rat's ass about the candidate.
The 'story' is that it's a candidate that Trump endorsed, so when he fails for whatever reason, the Lamestreams can count it as a mark against Trump.
In this case, they also seem to imply that Trump knowingly endorsed a guy who was unfaithful to his wife, so they get a 'two-fer' implied slam on Trump.
I commonly see the same thing in the Lamestreams whenever someone who is associated with a 'Celebrity' does something dumb.
It's not "Joe Blow, a local nobody, did something wrong", no.
It's "[Insert Name of Celebrity here]'s [insert connection to celebrity here] did something wrong."
It's all about the 'clicks'! Put in a Celebrity's Name, and... Lots of Clicks!
In this case, it's also a slam against President Trump.
So much of today's media is just.... trash.
Maybe it's always been this way.
Maybe it's the nature of a portion of the people who go into the 'news' (that is, entertainment) business.
Growing up, there was the 'Big 3' TV networks and the local paper.
They would get together and all tell the same stories, from the same viewpoint, and often using the same phrasing. How much was the truth, and how much was lies.... as a regular person, there was no way to tell, no way to check.
I am glad that we now have the Internet, as WE can pick and choose what sources to trust, what to read, what to watch, and what to believe.

Clearly the pastor was not paying the 'home wrecking whore' enough to earn her silence. She is obviously capable of raising more than campaign funds. They both may have a bright future in politics - as democrats.

I real pastor would have told any woman dressed that immodestly that he could not be around her or have her as part of his campaign. I real Christian pastor understood that words of Jesus "if you look at a woman to lust after her, you have committed adultery" and would have gone out of their way to stay away from any woman who obviously wants men to look on her with lust. This guy should slink off into the sunset never to be heard from again and he should pray that his wife forgives him and agrees to stay with him while he goes through counseling.

So, a Republican drops out for text messages with a woman, while a Dem with Nazi tattoo and a history of mistreating women is supported strongly by Dems.

I’m tired of this keeping score of candidates backed or not backed by President Trump. There is no one who would be better as our president. No one.

#8's comment made me wonder.... if someone 'got wind' of their goings-on and offered this woman some significant Ca$h to blab to the media. After all, there are plenty of evil 'Rats with money burning a hole in their pockets to do harm to America, and a plain 'ol Sex Scandal against someone -a conservative- who has presented themselves as a moral person, is their stock in trade. It's the standard 'Rats Politics of Personal Destruction.
#12, that is the textbook example of the difference between the way the Leftist Lamestreams treat imperfect Conservatives, versus how they treat evil, shameless Democ'Rats.
#18, that's what the 'Rat Lamestreams DO. Constant drumbeat of anything negative about Conservatives, Patriots, Republicans, and their Number One target, President Trump. Constant drumbeat of ANYTHING they can find negative about Christians and Caucasians, while favored minorities -no matter how evil or disgusting- get a pass, and another pass, and another pass, on, and on, and on.

Dispatch Times, a small regional British newspaper, is now reporting only because he was "Trump's" pick.

34 years old and five kids? Only a pastor or somebody on the public dole can afford that many kids because the congregation is paying. He doesn't have the brains to be much of anything useful to other people.
