Seems that photos have
emerged of a 64-year-old GOP runoff candidate for Texas state legislature
wearing women’s clothes.
Some Johnson County party officials have urged candidate Sam Walls to
withdraw from the race, but he has no intention of doing so. According to
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram story, Roy Giddens Jr., the county GOP
treasurer and an elder statesman in the local Republican Party, shows just
how big-tent even Texas Republicans have become:
And as far as Giddens is concerned, wearing earrings, a wig and
high-heeled shoes does not preclude Walls from becoming an excellent state
representative.
“I don’t have a problem with cross-dressing,” Giddens said. “There are lots
of them. People think J. Edgar Hoover was one of the greatest Americans that
ever lived. He was a cross-dresser.”
