>Don’t come up here and try to defend yourself when you lied in testimony at the statehouse,” Republican Town Councilor Jim Morgan said.>I didn’t lie in testimony,” state Rep. Love pushed back.>Ok, you accused two people of doing things they didn’t do,” Morgan, who is gay, added. “That’s a lie. Look it up.”https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/nh-lawmaker-agrees-to-pay-drag-queens-200k-for-completely-false-accusations-new-hampshire-state-rep-david-love-republican-michael-mcmahon-clara-divine-lawsuit-settlementA Republican New Hampshire state representative last week agreed to pay two drag queens $100K each to settle a defamation lawsuit over remarks he made in 2022.
State Rep. David Love, R-Derry, during a February 2022 hearing of the House Labor, Industrial, and Rehabilitative Services Committee introduced a bill calling for libraries to conduct background checks on employees and volunteers. While introducing the measure, the representative touched on a Drag Queen Story Time event at a local music hall which featured drag queen Michael McMahon.
In his testimony, state Rep. Love accused the drag queen of “rubbing butts” with children at the event. The representative also invoked a similar event in 2019 which featured drag queen Robert Champion, who he accused of being a convicted sex offender.
“There’s a hole in our law,” state Rep. Love said. “We’re talking about a lifetime of misery for a child.”
The representative went on to disclose his own experience of being molested at 6 years old before becoming an alcoholic and drug user at 11. He admitted it took him until 60 to become sober again.
His remarks led to a fiery exchange at a Derry Town Council meeting days later, during which he defended the comments as something he had read in a newspaper after concerns from constituents.
