Sen. Sherrod Brown blames GOP single-party rule for corruption case

[TexasTowelie]

Sen. Sherrod Brown is joining the bipartisan chorus of Ohio politicians calling for the resignation of Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder.

During a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Brown, a Democrat, said Householder’s arrest in an alleged racketeering scheme is a result of decades of control by the Ohio Republican Party.

“This is a Republican Party that is intrinsically corrupt,” he said. “Look at what’s happened in this state because one party has ruled for so long.”

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Republicans control both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly and swept every statewide elected office in 2018 except for Brown’s Senate seat.
