MT-02: Windy Boy (D) resumes House campaign, calls sexual abuse allegations 'political attacks'
Montana State Sen. Jonathan Windy Boy announced on Wednesday he is unsuspending his campaign for the U.S. House and said recently publicized allegations of sexual abuse against him are “character assasination.”
Last month, Montana Democratic Party Chairperson Shannon O’Brien announced she had learned of serious sexual abuse allegations against Windy Boy. Legislative leaders called on the Democrat from Box Elder to resign his position in the Legislature.
At the time, Windy Boy said he was putting his Congressional campaign “on suspension” citing health reasons and grief over the deaths of family members.
But in his first public statements about the allegations since they were published three weeks ago, Windy Boy made no mention of his health or grief and brushed the claims off as political maneuvering, going after one of his Democratic primary opponents.
