Rebecca Johnson, wife of Congressman from Kentucky Dan Johnson, who shot himself after allegations of sexual abuse, said he would run for his position.
As reported by the Associated Press, the widow said, «These lynching based on lies. Should they be allowed to win.» Rebecca Johnson said that she «fought with her husband thirty years, and his struggle will continue.»
«Dan left us, but his story is far from over,» added Rebecca.
Recall, a member of the legislative Assembly of the state of Kentucky, Republican Dan Johnson, was shot on Wednesday evening in a secluded location on the bridge. Two days before, the Center of investigations in Kentucky, published the girl’s statement, which said that in 2013, when she was 17, she was subjected to sexual violence on the part of Johnson.
57-year-old Congressman, being also pastor of the Church, stated that the accusations against him «completely false» and are part of a global strategy to defeat the Republicans.
Dan Johnson was elected to the state legislature in 2016. This allowed the Republicans to win in Kentucky for the first time in almost 100 years.
