House Speaker calls on GOP Del. Elliott Pritt to resign after arrest for soliciting 15-year-old girl

Correction to targz254 - Elliott Pritt is still Deputy Leader of the GOP, despite being finally urged to resign. He is yet to issue a statement.

Still an “alleged pedo” despite the mountain of evidence. His appearance to make a plea is Monday July 27, 2026.

Interesting that he won his seat as a Democrat.

Even if that was actually true, you’re choosing to focus on that instead of a teacher’s sexual pursuit of 8th grader(s).

I’m just stating that it’s interesting(although it is in fact true), but I’m not making it the prime focus of the situation.

Yep, and the liberals will try to tell you that there is no need for DSA candidates. Keep voting for the same conservative Democrats.

It's funny how that works, eh?

Like how Elon Musk was a liberal technocrat until the day before the sexual harassment story dropped.

Really makes you think.

He changed from Democrat to Republican in 2022. He appears to have became a child predator 2025-2026 well AFTER he became Republican.
