Congressman Charles Boustany blames John Kennedy for spreading prostitute-involved claims

U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany on Wednesday blamed State Treasurer John N. Kennedy — one of his opponents in the U.S. Senate race — for spreading a story about the Lafayette congressman's alleged involvement with a murdered prostitute.

"The allegations made about me by Ethan Brown and spread by the Kennedy campaign are wholly and completely false. It is all total lies – and everyone, even John Kennedy, knows it," Boustany said in a news conference that marked the first time the Republican personally addressed the issue.

Boustany said Kennedy operatives sent numerous texts and emails last week almost immediately after BuzzFeed News reported the allegations detailed in a book published Tuesday.

"John Kennedy is the only candidate who has spread this false story against me. His staff was sending it to people all over Louisiana instantly after it appeared online. Many of you were the recipients of calls, texts, and emails from his staff and associates shopping this story. His campaign manager was exposed in a story in The Advocate last night (Tuesday) admitting to peddling these lies," Boustany said.

1. glad I read a couple of sentences down. was trying to figure out how in the hell a man who has

been dead for nearly 53 years could be responsible for the rep's problems.

2. My thought as well

and then I wondered why, if he was reaching out from the great beyond, he wasn't going after Trump.

(Or haunting Poppy Bush until he cracks and publicly tells all he knows about JFK's murder.)

3. With Republicans, that's no excuse.

Not only would they blame JFK for things like this, they'd blame Obama for JFK.

4. My initial response as well.

7. John Kennedy Brought Me to This Thread

I was doing the same thing you were doing; trying to find out what John Kennedy had to do with prostitution claims. I did wonder if their was some other John Kennedy that could be behind the claims. Then like you I saw the name John H. Kennedy.

5. How would the Kennedy campaign know if this allegations are false or not?

Boustany's former staff member ran the hotel and was a pimp to the murdered women. drip drip drip.
