A Texas Republican city council candidate is facing felony child pornography charges after being arrested just hours before the elections.

Brad Benson, a candidate for Place #4 on the city council of Granbury, located just southwest of Fort Worth, was arrested on November 6. "I can confirm he was arrested by the District Attorney's Office yesterday and charged with two felony child pornography charges, he should have a bond set today," Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds told Newsweek.

The Republican Party of Hood County (RPHC) withdrew its support for Benson after more details about the charges emerged.

Yet another not a drag queen caught

He’s a gay man, I’m sure the right will use this to fuel their bullshit argument that gay people are pedos.

They are just rlly hard to catch, they run rlly fast /s

Obviously they are fast, haven't you ever been to a drag race?

Ahahahah, yeah very popular between Republicans and rednecks.
