That's some gravitational pull the rotted out Republican Party has, attracting only the best from top to bottom:
The former chairman of the Idaho Republican Party was arrested Thursday on suspicion of stalking.
Jonathan Parker, 39, was booked into the Ada County Jail at 10:44 p.m. on suspicion of first-degree stalking, according to the jail’s online roster. The charge is a felony in Idaho and is punishable by up to five years in prison, as well as a $10,000 fine.
Parker, who formerly served as the director of government affairs for the Holland and Hart law firm, was elected chairman of the party in 2017. He resigned in February, according to the Idaho GOP website. In March, his wife, Kelly, filed for divorce, according to the Idaho online courts repository.
Lock him up! Lock him up!According to the criminal complaint prosecutors filed against him Friday, Jonathan Parker went to his wife's apartment complex multiple times between May 16 and May 30. Prosecutors believe he stalked her by "repeatedly hiding in bushes, masturbating, disguising himself with a wig." In doing so, according to the complaint, he violated a protection order in place against him.
We'll leave it to the psychologists and social scientists to diagnose what the strong, mutual attraction is between all these damaged people and that damaged party. For now, suffice it to say, gack!
