Liz Cheney's challenger reveals he got a 14-year-old girl pregnant when he was 18 and is 'almost

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

estranged' from his son

Anthony Bouchard, a conservative lawmaker mounting a primary challenge against Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, revealed on Thursday that he fathered a child with a 14-year-old girl when he was 18 and is "almost" estranged from his son. The woman died by suicide in 1990 when she was 20 years old, Bouchard said.

A Wyoming state senator, Bouchard said he wanted to get ahead of a news outlet and others investigating his past and revealed the information in a 13-minute Facebook Live video. He wrote on Facebook that he was "dodging a bullet from the Fake News Media" by posting the video.

"So, bottom line, it's a story when I was young, two teenagers, girl gets pregnant," he said. "You've heard those stories before. She was a little younger than me, so it's like the Romeo and Juliet story."

Bouchard and the girl, whose identity he didn't reveal, got married in Florida when she was 15 and divorced three years later, he told the Casper Star-Tribune. Florida's law at the time allowed for two people to get married at any age if there was a pregnancy involved and a parent consented, the news outlet noted.

Guess this will be a plus as far as the Trumpers are concerned.

1. Girl he statutorally raped, forced to marry him, divorced three years later & dead by suicide by 20

Yeah, victimless crime, indeed. What a pig.

[Lovie777]

2. And blamed her family for her death . . ...

Sounds about right for a RWer.

[momta]

29. Pig, indeed.

"Romeo and Juliet"? Seriously?

She's dead. He's not. That's not how I remember that story ending.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

3. GQP's best and brightest.

[3catwoman3]

4. A "little" younger? Romeo and Juliet? What a load...

...of cow manure.

The difference between 14 and 18 is enormous.

[DENVERPOPS]

41. He has a history of liking them young

he will be the perfect fit as a male Republican..............

Hell of a campaign platform: "I seduced a child"

probably because he couldn't get any dates in his age bracket...........

[tanyev]

5. Somebody's never seen or read Romeo and Juliet.

[Midnight Writer]

6. In Romeo and Juliet, they both committed suicide.

[stopdiggin]

10. so, we're still waiting for the other shoe ... ?

----- ---- ------------ -- -----

[sop]

11. He just committed political suicide.

[Caliman73]

20. If only. In a sane political environment, that would be true. Today?

It is a toss up. Specifically why he prefaced his statement with "Fake News" which we on this side of the political spectrum, say, "How is revealing relevant facts about you as an adult (albeit young adult) and continuing problems which seem to be a result of personal decisions, fake news?" While on his side, people accept is as code that the "liberal media" is trying to destroy him by some untoward method.

I mean if I had killed someone at 18 and the circumstances were less than clearly justified self defense, I would expect people to question my fitness for public office. Maybe that is just me though.

This guy got his 14 year old girlfriend pregnant, didn't stick around to be in the child's life, and wants us to consider him an upstanding human being? Burden is on him to prove it.

[mn9driver]

35. If Trump endorses him, he will have the Q vote locked up.

And Trump will endorse anyone running against Cheney. Count on it.

[AZLD4Candidate]

40. This is Wyoming. Look at their two worthless senators, especially Trumper Lummis

And their ex-worthless senator Michael Enzi. John BarraASSo is one step above worthless being completely useless.

[MadLinguist]

12. I would love to be the person to tell "Romeo" Bouchard the plot line

[NNadir]

7. Friend of Matt Gaetz?

[marble falls]

18. Beat me to it.

[SergeStorms]

22. It's inherent to republicans.

They believe they're entitled to everything, including women's bodies.

Look at who their role model is. The old, orange pu$$y grabber himself.

[maxsolomon]

8. What part of the story is fake, Rapist?

WY will probably pick him over Cheney regardless. Republicans are Terrible People.

[TlalocW]

9. What's disgusting is that

When most people hear Romeo and Juliet, they're not thinking any more deeply of it than the romance part, and he's trying to bind that narrative to what he did.

TlalocW

[bullwinkle428]

13. Does this mean that Gaetz will join him at campaign rallies, and have

a bunch of high school girls in cheerleader outfits, made up like they just stepped out of a Robert Palmer video, dancing around to the music?

[lunatica]

37. Oh god! Don't give them ideas!

They would gladly do that if they thought of it!

[Rustyeye77]

14. Republican Family Values

what a joke

[BootinUp]

15. Cheney might be in trouble, just a guess. Nt

[Scrivener7]

16. Trumpers don't care.

[GoCubsGo]

17. "...two teenagers, girl gets pregnant."

Oh, fuck you. That wouldn't have happened without you, you scumbag sack of shit. Most people understand teenagers making mistakes, but his asshole can't even own up to it in a decent manner. Can't help but think there's more to it than what's being said now...

[meadowlander]

23. Girl get pregnant. (Guy does nothing to help). Girl kills herself six years later.

The classic story. But I feel like we breezed over Act 2 a little.

[GoCubsGo]

25. His breezing over the whole thing is what's most disgusting about it all.

[Grokenstein]

26. The whole "heading off the Fake Nooz Media" act suggests the true story is much, much worse.

...which is hard to believe, given what he's already admitted.
But still, he IS a Republican...

[Captain Zero]

28. Yeah if this is his best spin on it...

Then there's more to it than this.

[SergeStorms]

19. What do you want to bet....

he had quite a bit to do with the poor woman's decision to end her life?

Republicans are no longer the party of family values. As if they ever were.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

21. No moral compass in that asshole

Call him on it ask what made him think manipulating a 14 year old into sex was ok,and does he know what a condom was for.

Humiliate that scumbag sociopath.
No mercy accept no excuses. We all know he victimized that poor girl and abused her until she got out of that marriage. That's why she suicided it was the trauma she went through with that psychopath piece of shit..

[karynnj]

24. Interesting - he is one of several Cheney opponents and HE goes out with a video to beat the

"false media" on this. Nothing even says he is a strong challenger otherwise. He then tries to minimize what he did, ignoring that 18 and 14 are very very different ages. This is a pretty terrible story - with the girl committing suicide at age 20 -after he divorced her at 18. (imagine being 18 - probably with no high school education and a 3 year old!)

Final chutzpah - he tries to get points because SHE did not get an abortion. He also seems to take no responsibility for the son who lost his mother at 3. Note he doesn't speak of then being a single father!

[Pepsidog]

27. Of course he did. That's a right of passage in Republican world.

[Crowman2009]

30. I see a lot of these RW-nutbags on OAN complain about: why women don't want them?

Well now it's obvious! Women don't want to date a rapist. Otherwise, this happens.

[peggysue2]

31. Dodging a bullet from the Fake News Media???

He just confessed to a sordid detail from his past and the fact that he's 'almost' estranged from his son.

What exactly does that have to do with the media, fake or otherwise.

But he just had to throw the buzz words/red meat out there.

Because . . . that's the way the MAGA world turns.

[cayugafalls]

32. So is he going to commit suicide now? Qomeo, Qomeo, where for art thou, Qomeo?

[deurbano]

33. The son who was born after that rape is currently in prison for ... rape. (Forceable sodomy

and other charges.)

[BigmanPigman]

34. So, in his mind (?) admitting to crimes is equal to erasing them?

Is his theory is that you commit any crime at any time and if you admit to it then you are cleared of the crime? Interesting. More specifically his theory only applies to him and his crimes. He just rewrote our entire legal system to suit him.

[George II]

36. 18 is NOT merely "young" - one could have been drafted into the army at 18, can vote at 18....

Some could be 3 years out of high school at 18, and some (very few) can even be college graduates by 18. A 14-year old girl isn't "a little younger" than 18-years old.

It's quite likely that him knocking up the 14-year old ruined her life and eventually led to her suicide.

Another republican scumbag.

[lunatica]

38. If he's held accountable his story will change to

make himself out to be the victim somehow. She manipulated him and so did her parents. He’ll think of something, blame the real victim.

[Treefrog]

39. "Girl gets pregnant."

Love the use of the passive voice there. He had nothing to do with it, I guess.

[orleans]

42. so it sounds like this might have happened in 1985

i was trying to find out how old he is & found this on wiki
"In May 2021, Bouchard claimed he was pre-empting a media exposé by admitting he impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 18, "more than 40 years ago" in Florida, on a Facebook Live video directed to his supporters.[15] He later told the Casper Star-Tribune that they married when he was 19 and the girl was 15, and the girl eventually gave birth to their son. Bouchard said the couple divorced after three years of marriage, and she died by suicide in 1990 at age 20 after what he described as problems in another relationship.[16]"

if she died in 1990 at age 20 then his going out with this girl etc did not happen "more than 40 years ago" -- it happened in 84 or 85
