YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Republican city council candidate in Texas was arrested Monday on the eve of Election Day on two felony charges of child pornography possession.

Brad Benson, a longtime volunteer firefighter and movie theater manager in Granbury, a city southwest of Dallas-Fort Worth, was taken into custody Monday, the Republican Party of Hood County said in a statement.

Benson was a Republican candidate for Place 4 on the Granbury City Council in Tuesday’s election.

“Based on the limited information available, it is our understanding that a serious sex related offense may be involved. If these allegations are true, there is no way the party would ever condone such activity,” the party said.

The Republican Party of Hood County withdrew its support for Benson after additional details about the charges emerged.
