W.Va. delegate stripped of committee position over sexually explicit TikTok

[Lasher]

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – The sexually explicit videos were posted to Putnam County Republican Delegate Joe Jeffries’ Tik-Tok account earlier this week.

The clips, which are too graphic to describe, have colleagues and the public weighing in. One TikTok reader said “Shouldn’t you act more professional? Because you’re an elected official?” Jeffries responded with, “I’m an elected official, but I’m still a real person.”

“I think it shows a serious lack of judgment at best. And for the same Delegate who introduced a bill to ban sex education, for him to post vulgar videos on a social media platform that’s aimed at teenagers, it’s really disgusting,” responded Del. Mike Pushkin, (D) Kanawha.

Late today, House Speaker Roger Hanshaw issued a statement saying quote: “I believe Joe Jeffries is an embarrassment not just to the House of Delegates, but to the entire state.” He then stripped Jeffries of his committee vice-chairmanship.

The family values party strikes again.

1. Republican "Family Values" at work, I guess. n/t

2. I am glad other Repugs took away his Chairmanship. Good for them.

6. The whole thing is probably bull roar. He's a Republican.

Republicans don't do stuff like that. Do they?

3. Is this him?

TikTok user @jenfrmthablock said, “This is a personal account and everyone preaching family values it’s a joke. Family men can’t talk about sex? This is the problem with people today.”

So, yeah, when you swing around family values like a Victorian purity club to knock down everyone who doesn't fit into a tight puritan ideal, don't be surprised when that club comes a swinging when you can't walk the line.

7. TikTok appeals to younger users, as 41% of them are between the ages of 16 and 24.

There are other places where he could offer pointers about oral sex.

4. He wants kids to learn about sex the way he did - in the gutter.

In February, Jeffries was the lead sponsor of House Bill 2157 proposing to eliminate teachings of sexuality and forbidding displays relating to sexuality in public schools.

Katy Hill was forced to resign when her ex leaked nude photos of her to the press.

This asswipe gets to keep his job. He should be run out of town.

This is the same guy who introduced legislation to keep sex-ed out of schools.

8. That's what Derrick Evans thought.

But he was arrested as part of the January 6 insurrection. He resigned from the WV House of Delegates on on January 9. Now in addition to misdemeanors, he's been charged with a felony.
