Lawmaker Makes Lewd Comment To 17 Year-Old Girl: ‘I Got A Snake Sitting Under My Desk Here’

State Rep. Ernest Hewett (D-CT) was stripped of his leadership position as Deputy Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives this week after he was caught on tape making an inappropriate remark to a high school student testifying before a legislative committee.

The 17 year-old student was at the hearing to ask the committee to continue a funding to the Connecticut Science Center, where she said she was “usually a very shy person” but the Center’s program enabled her to teach “children about certain things like snakes.”

When she was done testifying, Hewett told the teen "(i)f you’re bashful I got a snake sitting under my desk here."

4. he can't have meant it like it sounds

it was at a public hearing, that would be inconceivable. Right?

8. the only possible out is if he actually does bring his pet python to work

How does someone smart enough to get elected make a comment so amazingly mind-bogglingly stupid?

Biden does it every day.

10. Perv, Moran, or both?


Is it possible the man was just stupidly ignorant of the street meaning of his words?

Maybe he was just being childish "Hey Susie, wanna see a BUG?

And then maybe he's just a perv?

They know he was being perverted by saying this to a young girl, but they still try and make excuses.

Na, it would be the same story except it would be repeated on every major media network until he resigned from office.

After hearing an audiotape of the incident, which occurred Feb. 21, Sharkey stripped Hewett of his deputy speaker title Wednesday. With the removal of the title goes $6,446 in extra pay above the rank-and-file rate of $28,000.
"After I first heard about it, I thought maybe in the broader sense maybe he was misunderstood and it may not be that big a deal," Sharkey said in an interview.
"But based on the audio, it's hard to interpret it that way. It's hard for anyone who heard the audio or was there to think it was anything other than a sexual innuendo.

Slow Joe Biden is dumber than Johnson or Waters.

And don't forget Congressman Major Owens who explained the migration patterns of Atlantic Ocean sharks.
