It's horrible when elected officials break the law, and the trust given to them by the public

Pennsylvania state senator resigns amid child pornography investigation, lawmakers say - CNN

Pennsylvania state Sen. Michael Folmer handed in his letter of resignation Wednesday amid allegations that police found child pornography on his phone, Senate leaders said.
"We are sickened and disturbed by the charges brought against Mike Folmer yesterday. We have reviewed the criminal complaint and spoke with Mike Folmer early this morning to insist on his resignation from the Senate," read a statement from Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati and Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman.
On Tuesday, Scarnati and Corman said they would immediately remove Folmer as chair of the state government committee.
Folmer's seat is now vacant. According to the state constitution, the Senate president must issue a writ for a special election to fill the seat.

I don't know. I would think a story about an elected official is more important than a mere donor.

Good riddance, it seems.

Hope the district he represented elects someone better in the special election.

What gets me is that he uploaded child porn to a public platform. How ignorant can you be?

I have noticed a certain sense of invulnerability among Republicans. They double down hard on the family values and then we find out they've been sexting pages, or in this case, uploading child porn. It happens over and over. You'd think they'd learn.

He looks like your standard rich old white guy.

I think new tech, lack of knowledge about it, along with automatic expectation of privilege.

He is probably trying to find a way to blame the Democrats, framing him somehow.

He probably did it but is there any chance he was set up?

He isn't even attempting to claim a set up. One image uploaded, and more on his phone.

They are not republicans. They are bought and paid for corrupt party puppets. These sick politicians both republican and democrat in PA do not represent the people of either party. They do the bidding of their rich masters who fund both parties. We get the illusion of choice as the rich and powerful keep us divided so they can control our government.
 
And may he burn in any hell that I'm wrong about not existing.
 
Preying on children is too vile for words....if this person is guilty, I hope he is put under the prison.
 
If you upload illegal images to a public clearnet website, you deserve to get caught. He reminds me of the lady who made a video about how she stole some cash from the bank.
