Idaho GOP Hires Larry Craig, The Anti-Gay Senator Arrested For Soliciting Gay Sex

Almost everyone who keeps up with anti-gay republicans caught engaging in gay sex remembers Larry Craig, the senator who repeatedly voted against LGBT rights, but was then caught toe-tapping in an airport bathroom. In case you don’t, here is a refresher.

In June 2007, Larry Craig was arrested in Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport for allegedly soliciting sex in a men’s room from a man who happened to be an undercover cop, Sergeant Dave Karsnia. In Karsnia’s arrest report, it is said that Craig tried to explain away his peering through cracks between stalls and nudging the officer’s foot in a most ridiculous manner:

Craig stated … He has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine.”to explain why he had tapped on a bathroom stall and peeked through the side several times.

As if all of this wasn’t bad enough, Craig was caught using campaign funds illegally to finance his own defense in this case. In order to keep it quiet, he pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of lewd conduct. However, this did not work.
