"Traditional Family Values" Republican, convicted of 2 DUIs, also enjoys "adult hookup sites," per a data leak

An attorney for Michigan state Rep. Bryan Posthumus (R) denied that the lawmaker used adult hookup sites after data leaks from the websites apparently exposed his name, email address, home address and credit card.

Records obtained by The Detroit Metro Times indicated that Posthumus's data was found in breaches from Ashley Madison, AdultFriendFinder, and Fling.com.

Posthumus has promoted himself as a "traditional family values" Republican. He received the "Friend of the Family Award" from the Christian Coalition of Michigan in 2022.

The lawmaker was convicted of drunk driving in 2013 and 2021. He served 15 days in jail following the 2021 conviction.

I read that he used the site in 2012, got married in 2012, and didn't use it since. Drunk driving is much more serious. Bernardo de La Paz Nov 5 #4

Being convicted in 2013 and then again 8 years later indicates he doesn't learn and is addicted beyond reason.
