Tennessee Republican David Hooven has vowed not to be alone with “a member of another sex” if elected to the state’s House of Representatives, as “from Presidents to janitors all are tempted.” Hooven made the pledge on his official campaign website, where he said that if elected “my primary focus will be to honor God.”
It didn’t, and you have to wonder if that’s telling, or if he’s not saying that because it would make his statements more suspect.
