It’s amazing to me how quiet the NDGOP has been when it comes to a man they promoted and supported for years, but Ray Holmberg is theirs. They chose him to be one of their leaders. They placed him in a position of power that few, if any, had for years. Not only did they give him the pursestrings, but they made North Dakota pay for all the ‘perks’ he enjoyed.
The disgusting problem with those perks is that it allegedly involved raping young boys. Holmberg has been charged with traveling to Europe with the intent of paying for sex with a minor and with receiving images depicting child sexual abuse. All while using taxpayer dollars to commit the crimes he’s accused of. Those taxpayer dollars were given to be used any way he wanted, and anywhere he wanted.
The only public statement the North Dakota Republican Party has made is to deflect. They compare children struggling with their sexuality to a man that would rape them. To compare the two is simply repulsive.
The NDGOP owns Holmberg. He’s theirs and their Chairwoman Sandi Sanford knows it. Her Republican Party shares the responsibility of his actions, and gave him the money and power and opportunity to do what he’s been accused of. All the while ignoring what he was doing with it all. They never once requested a report on the meetings he was to attend.
They say absolute power corrupts absolutely. And when it comes to the North Dakota Republican party, it’s absolutely true.
Good riding with you,
