Lars Larson reports a story most Northwest media ignored until till this week

Lars Larson
The Northwest Nonsense

Few places in America practice the level of political correctness seen here in the Pacific Northwest.

Virtually every elected official belongs to the Democrat party.

So, you’d think it would make big news when one of the most senior of those Democrats is accused in court of letting his small children drive a gay man to suicide at their home in New York City.

The story about United States Senator Ron Wyden and his multi millionaire wife broke last week but most Northwest media ignored it till this week.

A wrongful death lawsuit charges that Senator Wyden’s small children drove a gay man out of his job working for the family and ultimately to take his own life. 

The suit claims the Senator’s 10 year old daughter and teenage son made sexually explicit comments to Brandon O’Brien, mocked his homosexuality, and even threatened that he would be raped by a football team.

He quit, but the Wyden’s fought O’Brien’s filing for unemployment.  

An administrative law judge decided the children did harass the gay man … and the judge decided he quit for good reason.

The Judge also decided the Wyden parents did little to halt the harassment by their kids. In May of this year, Brandon O’Brien took his own life and his spouse sued.

Now, you can imagine what Oregon news media would do with that story if the Senator was Republican.

But Senator Wyden has been a long time Democrat in Oregon … and you know, for Democrats we have double standards, or we’d have none at all … and it seems that applies to Democrat children too.
