A former New Hampshire state Rep. and Joe Biden supporter was forced to resign after posting a graphic tweet questioning the position of the female vagina.
Richard Komi, a Democrat, sparked outrage on Twitter when he questioned Tara Reade’s sexual misconduct allegations against Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Komi doubted Reade’s allegations because, he says it would not be easy for Biden to insert his finger in Reade’s vagina without her cooperation.
“Judging by the position of the female vagina, it will not be easy for anyone to just put their finger into the vagina unless their [sic] is some Cooperation [sic] from the female herself. That is why I believe Tara Reade’s allegations is [sic] false. She is looking for attention.”
Komi deleted the tweet when outraged Twitter users questioned his professionalism and his knowledge of the female anatomy.
The backlash was swift. Komi was forced to apologize publicly to all sexual assault survivors.
“I wish I had worded my words more appropriately. It was not intended to lessen the pain that sexual assault survivors face all their lives,” Komi told Manchester Ink Link on Friday.
“I do not believe Joe (Biden) is the type of person who would do anything to hurt a woman,” he added.
“Representative Komi’s comment is wrong, inappropriate, and offensive to all Democrats, and does not reflect the values of our party,” New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said, Manchester Ink Link reported.
Komi was the first African refugee to be elected to the New Hampshire State House. He fled persecution in Nigeria after he was targeted by the government.
