A big hat tip to Josh for finding this article. Remember that Florida state legislature that got busted last week for soliciting a blow job from a male in a bathroom? Yeah – the family of party values. But it also turns out this gem of the GOP is now using his excuse for the act as being scared of the black man he solicited it from (who was an undercover cop):
State Rep. Bob Allen told police he was just playing along when a undercover officer suggested in a public restroom that the legislator give him oral sex and $20 because he was intimidated, according to a taped statement and other documents released Thursday.
Allen has already denied any wrongdoing, but the recordings and documents offered new details about what he and police say happened on July 11 inside the men’s room at Veterans Memorial Park.
“I certainly wasn’t there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn’t there to exchange money for it,” said Allen, R-Merritt Island, who was arrested on charges of soliciting prostitution.
“This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park,” Allen, who is white, told police in a taped statement after his arrest. Allen said he feared he “was about to be a statistic” and would have said anything just to get away.
Yeah that is a great defense. So this Republican is not just a racist, closet homosexual – he is also down right stupid. Let’s hear it again for GOP “family values”!
