Looks like Lamar Alexander(R-TN) already dicey chances of reelection may have just gone to plaid. Rawstory among others have picked up that Alexander's chief of staff who has served in that capacity since 2012 had his home searched by police as part of an ongoing investigation of child pornography.
Alexander had a statement too
“I was just informed by the United States Senate legal counsel’s office that law enforcement agents are conducting a search of the personal residence of Ryan Loskarn, the chief of staff of my Washington, D.C., office regarding allegations involving child pornography,” the Republican senator said in a statement.
“I am stunned, surprised and disappointed by what I have learned.”
Alexander said he immediately placed Loskarn on administrative leave without pay.
Alexander already has a Tea Party primary opponent, and GOP primaries are rough things.
