A couple of days ago, we told you about TLO finally earning respect and credibility after one of our exclusive stories was used in a negative campaign mailer against State Rep. Eric Roberts.
In case you need a refresher, Roberts is the guy who cheated on his girlfriend with one of her friends, and then paid for the friend to get an abortion after she got pregnant.
When the girlfriend’s friend gave Roberts the receipt for reimbursement, he paid her back and left the receipt on the floor in his bedroom. His girlfriend then discovered the receipt and… well… if Jerry Springer was around back then, it would have made a fun episode.
Anyway, flash forward 30-something years and Roberts – a man who happily paid for someone to get an abortion when it affected him – is now an Oklahoma lawmaker voting to restrict abortion rights for people who face similar predicaments.
I guess this revelation of hypocrisy surprised uninformed voters who didn’t know about his past, so he left a Facebook post responding to “That Mailer.” Check it out:
