  1. Why hasn’t Republican Campaign Chairman State Rep Greg Rothman condemned fellow Republican State Rep Aaron Bernstine a serial philanderer and child abuser? Is Greg Rothman continuing to support Aaron Bernstine’s reelection?

    In one video obtained by the USA TODAY Network, Aaron Bernstine, R-10, New Beaver, Lawrence County, is behind the camera, but his hand is shown holding a cigar and offering it to his son.

    When the young boy takes a puff, Bernstine tells him to “hit it harder” and “breathe in,” followed by a woman’s voice saying, “No.”

    A second video has Bernstine again off camera asking his son, “What are we going to chase in Nashville?” The boy replies in a whisper, “Cadillac p—ssy,” using a vulgar term for vagina.

  2. Vote Democratic up and down the ticket.

    Protect the United States from the terribly unethical cowards called the modern Republican party. Republicans haven’t done a single thing to earn votes over the last 4 years.
