Lebsock originally responded to the allegations of Rep. Faith Winter, allegations which brought this situation into the public eye, with a statement along the lines of, "Things were pretty boozy that night, so I'm not 100% sure what happened, but the important thing is that I offended Rep. Winter, and for that I'm sorry."
Over the next few months, Lebsock's response morphed into something like, "Fuck you. I didn't do a thing wrong. And these women? Buncha goddamn whores, every last one of 'em, and I can prove it! Resign from the state legislature? Go fuck your mother. I ain't doin' it."
Today ol' Stevie got expelled from the House of Representatives. Forty-four votes were required. The final tally was
52-9.
