Anti-Gay Senator Now Admits He Had Cybersex on His State-Owned Laptop but Won't Resign Because, God ........
Nebraska State Senator Bill Kintner Says He Is 'Being Obedient to God’s Decision' by Not Resigning
Bill Kintner says he has "confessed to God and asked His forgiveness" and will not be resigning as a Nebraska Republican state senator, despite having illegally engaged in cybersex via Skype on his state government computer with a woman who subsequently extorted him for money.
Kintner, who has a long history of making offensive remarks about women, minorities, and the poor, and even compared his fellow senators to monkeys, in a statement says that he "knew as a follower of Christ" he knew he "needed to take quick and decisive action" after the blackmail threat, so he contacted the Nebraska State patrol.
Now, more than a year after the original incident, Kintner is being fined $1000, and the governor of Nebraska, Republican Pete Ricketts – who also happens to be Kintner's wife's boss – is demanding his resignation. "In light of the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission’s decision, Sen. Kintner should resign his office immediately. Period," Ricketts said in a statement.
But Kintner is refusing.
"I think I’m where I should be right now," he says, according to the Omaha World-Herald, which detailed the encounter with the woman who demanded $4500 from him. In his statement he says he initially resisted her overtures.
In a police transcript of the conversation, Kinter told the woman, who he met on Facebook, he had never done anything like this before.
"The woman on the other end encouraged him and said she would teach him," the World-Herald reports.
He protested that he couldn’t do this, that it was not right and "would break my wife’s heart if she knew I did this." But he interspersed those cautions with comments about the woman being "smoking hot" and having a great body.
As soon as the masturbation ends, the woman switched from encouraging Kintner into threatening to use the video against him. She directed him to transfer $4,500 via Western Union to an address in the African nation of Ivory Coast. She told him to tell Western Union that he knew the person receiving the money and that it was a donation.
Last year Kintner, who opposes same-sex marriage and allowing gay people to adopt or even be foster parents, made very offensive remarks about LGBT people.
“If you’re a Christian, they’re coming after you," Sen. Kintner told his colleagues. "So I think it’s very important to remember that whenever they talk about protecting a class, it’s not just a shield, it’s a sword. And they are going to come after you if you’re a Christian. It something that this body, we need to guard the rights of everyone. That includes Christians."
Kintner tells the Omaha World-Herald in an article today, "I go home to a loving wife. I’ve got a great marriage. My walk with Christ is stronger than it’s ever been."
"This was a wake-up call. This is a real wake-up call. If it can happen to a guy who’s a Christian who goes to church, I mean, this is something that all men need to understand – that sexual sin is the way Satan gets to us."
Earlier this year, Kintner invited LGBT people who wanted equality to exit the state, in comments surrounding an LGBT nondiscrimination bill.
“When I go to San Francisco, sometimes I’ve seen some pretty weird things there," Kintner told his colleagues. "And I’m not that comfortable in San Francisco. But you know the difference between conservatives and my friends on the left? When I’m not comfortable someplace I leave. I go somewhere I am comfortable, I move to the state I am comfortable, I like it."
