A staffer for Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) resigned this weekend after he was arrested for allegedly attempting to solicit a prostitute, the Boston Globe reported on Saturday.
David Wihby, Ayotte’s state director in New Hampshire, was arrested on Friday night in Nashua, N.H., for the misdemeanor charge of soliciting a prostitute, according to the Globe.
In a statement on Saturday night, Ayotte said that she had accepted Wihby’s resignation.
“I am shocked and deeply saddened that David Wihby, my state director and a friend for many years, has been arrested under these circumstances,” she said. “David obviously cannot continue his duties, and I have accepted his resignation. This is a very difficult time, and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.”
Wihby is also an elected member of the Manchester, N.H., school board and formerly served as a Manchester city alderman, according to the Globe.
Maybe he can go work for David Vitter.
The party of Family Values, Ladies and Gentleman!
Republicans: so desperate to screw the working class, they’ll even occasionally pay for it.
Thank you. I mean, normally, I could give a sh*t about prostitution provided we’re talking about adults involved. BUT, - given the fact that the GOP has branded themselves as the party of “Family Values” as you say, this needs to be highlighted every time.
Only because he was caught.
