Republican Candidate Threatens To Sue Democrats Over Charges Of Sexual Harassment

OH-13 House candidate Tom Ganley (R)

Republican congressional candidate Tom Ganley is obliquely threatening to sue his opponent — Rep. Betty Sutton of Ohio’s 13th district — and the rest of the Democratic Party after multiple women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment.

I have reason to believe the vile lies against me have been carefully orchestrated by Betty Sutton, the Ohio Democratic Party, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. I will be meeting with my attorneys this weekend to see if legal action can be filed for the Democrats’ efforts to derail my campaign and ruin my reputation.

Before Ganley concocted that explanation for the rash of sex crimes he’s been accused of, House Minority John Boehner put Ganley on the list of candidates he’d be campaigning with this weekend.
