LGBTQ advocates are pointing to Bryan Slaton's expulsion to redirect attacks back on the GOP, saying conservative Republicans were so busy policing drag artists and transgender Texans that they missed abuse by one of their own.
Away from the public eye, however, the Royse City Republican fell far short of the morally upright life he sold to voters — a guise ripped away by a scathingthat detailed his inappropriate sexual conduct with a 19-year-old legislative aide who worked in his Capitol office.
“It’s no surprise that the man obsessed with children’s bodies — especially transgender kids — is a predator,” González said in a statement. “The courage to stop a predator has to extend to opposing his crusade to fixate the entire state on children’s genitals. He’s been calling my community ‘perverts’ and ‘groomers’ for years — when it turns out he should’ve invested in a good mirror.”
Ryan said social media commentators are painting Slaton as the “real groomer” whose actions are what Republicans should really be focused on stopping. In his resignation letter Monday, Slaton did not mention the scandal, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. In a statement, the Hopkins County party said that even though Slaton had done “much good work” at the Capitol, it could not “condone conduct unbecoming” of a state representative.
