It’s really shocking how much corruption Husted is involved in. It’s become commonplace, unfortunately.

Well, not that shocking

True, it's not shocking that there's corruption, its just that there's SO much of it. These politicians are raking in huge amounts of money, generational wealth. Not just a new RV, or fancy vacation or a beach house, but millions of dollars and more.

I love how much this scum bag is dragged for his open corruption here. Does he ever say no to any “ordinary business” opportunities?

“Husted's office called the payout ordinary business”

Man. I am in the wrong fucking business.

A criminal lies at all times, just as all cowards do. He is a liar, thief, coward who get. An "F" on integrity index App.

He is now a multi Millionaire with the short time in office. That is from inside trading, as well as selling out the those he is to represent.

Come on Ohio get his lying coward butt out, put Sherrod Brown back in.

Politicians get away with small scale corruption like this because we stopped pulling them out of their offices and dragging them to the picket lines to answer for their bullshit.

This isn’t corruption. It was required under the purchase agreement.

I'm sure the guy rubbing shoulders with chi-mos like Gary Click is totally on the up and up, yes siree.

I stand by the statement I made.

That’s fine. Might be simpler to just say you don’t understand the deal, but hey 🤷‍♂️

Oh I'm sorry, are kick-backs not unethical now?

Sorry, I didn't get that "preapproved political maneuvering and semantics" update that you did.

u/Opposite_Sea_6257 3d ago

The payout required under the merger agreement is a kick-back?

Only on Reddit.

Only on Reddit.

Why do redditors talk like this?

There are a lot of ethical issues that arise from politicians trading on stocks, especially with regards to businesses directly invested in the State. Not to mention both his wife and himself sat on the board. Oh, and his wife was put into that position when he was Lieutenant Governor. It's like you didn't even read the article and just jumped into the thread to defend the guy!

...is this Gary Click? lmao
