"These heinous acts are antithetical to what Republicans stand for," a spokesperson for the Republican Party of Hood County said.

A Texas Republican city council candidate is facing felony child pornography charges after being arrested just hours before the elections.

Brad Benson, a candidate for Place #4 on the city council of Granbury, located just southwest of Fort Worth, was arrested on November 6. “I can confirm he was arrested by the District Attorney’s Office yesterday and charged with two felony child pornography charges, he should have a bond set today,” Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds told Newsweek.

The Republican Party of Hood County (RPHC) withdrew its support for Benson after more details about the charges emerged.

    I strongly believe that sexuality is a topic that should be handled within your own family, not in public schools or flaunted in parades.

    Really? Really??

      No worries, I’m sure he handled all the CSAM in the privacy of his own home. That counts, right? /s
