Oklahoma congressional candidate drops out amid texting infidelity scandal
Jackson Lahmeyer, a Christian nationalist and Pastors for Trump founder, loses Trump endorsement to competitor
The Oklahoma congressional candidate Jackson Lahmeyer announced on Wednesday that he was suspending his campaign, after the Christian pastor once endorsed by Donald Trump, who had advanced to a Republican primary runoff, was reported to have sent extramarital, intimate text messages.
After prayerful consideration with my wife, Kendra, and my team over the last twenty four hours, Ive made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for Congress, the Christian nationalist and Pastors for Trump founder wrote in a statement on Wednesday afternoon. I do not want to be a distraction to my family, my church, and the great people of Oklahomas 1st congressional district, who deserve a strong conservative voice representing them in Washington.
Lahmeyers announcement came one day after he and fellow Republican Mark Tedford advanced to a runoff election in their party primary to replace Kevin Hern, who vacated his House seat to run for the US Senate.
Lahmeyers withdrawal makes Tedford the presumptive Republican nominee.
Lahmeyers decision also followed a report by the Daily Mail over the weekend that he had sent intimate text messages to a former campaign fundraiser who was not his wife and had previously won the Miss Oklahoma USA beauty pageant.

(15,416 posts)Mr. Lahmeyer leads a Tulsa church with his wife. But the image he cultivated as a religious leader took a hit on Sunday when The Daily Mail published intimate texts between him and a woman who is not his wife, in which he called her cute and floated an invitation to his hotel room. In a Facebook post on Sunday night, he acknowledged sending the messages but contended that his communications had been carefully cherry-picked to create an impression that is not accurate.

And, of course, they justify trump's extra-marital affairs as 'youthful indiscretions' (trump was 60 when he had the Stormy Daniels escapade).
I truly love my Aunt and Uncle. It hurts.

(78,180 posts)In one of the text messages, Lahmeyer calls Key "very cute." She responded with "The question is, why are you texting me when you are at a fancy party at Maralago?" Lahmeyer texts back: "I like texting you lol."
