State Sen. Daniel Kagan (D-CO) has been accused by female colleagues earlier this year of using the women's restroom. Now the senator, a white male, is resigning in January.
“It’s been a great honor to serve the people of Colorado for just short of a decade,” Kagan said in a statement. “An important obligation of leaders, I believe, is to be open to acknowledging that it’s time to pass the torch to new leadership and, for me, that time is now.”
He wanted to pass that torch along the third bathroom stall but the party refused his request.
Kagan was instrumental in repealing a 19th-century law that criminalized adultery, a law he regarded as giving authorities the power to question people about their personal lives, “which is a gross invasion of privacy that’s fully within the rights of the police right now.” He felt adultery laws are similar to laws about domestic violence--it's private and nobody's business if your spouse just won't listen to your commands. He also doesn't believe that adultery is such a bad thing as long as you don't get caught.
Republican state Sen. Beth Martinez Humenik said several women attested that they saw Kagan using a women’s restroom on multiple occasions since January 2017. Humenik filed a workplace sexual harassment complaint against Kagan in March, which, according to what Democrats claim, should not be a problem if Kagan identifies as a woman while using the women's toilet, or at times when a female state Senator is using the facilities.
Kagan said he’d entered the women’s restroom only once by mistake because it was unlabeled and he couldn't tell if the meme on the door was that of a person in a skirt or a Scotsman wearing a kilt.
The debacle prompted the state Senate to post signs outside its restroom designating “men” and “women,” Denver’s KUSA-TV reported. However, it isn't clear if Kagan is literate because it happened more than once.
“I asked for a public apology to all involved, not a resignation,” Humenik said Wednesday. “We are still waiting on his apology.”
But waiting for an apology from a Democrat is like waiting for the petal of an iris to open, or for John Kerry to go bald.
Colorado GOP spokesman concurred, saying Kagan should have apologized rather than “just resigning to avoid having to look at them.”
Colorado Public Radio reported earlier this year that Kagan, quite ironically, was among a group of Democratic senators who have hypocritically called for the ouster of Republican state Sen. Randy Baumgardner, amid accusations that he groped an aide in 2016. [At least Baumgardner uses the men's room when he has to answer the call of nature.]
“Many butt-slappers and thigh-strokers fancy that they are merely flirting and flattering,” Kagan said before the Senate.
Seriously, he really said that.
Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow or not. I hope you do. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.
