Liz Cheney’s main challenger describes impregnating 14-year-old to 18-year-old girl as ‘like the story of Romeo and Juliet’

In what he called a “Romeo and Juliet Story,” United States House candidate and Wyoming State Senator Anthony Bouchard revealed Thursday night that he had “had a relationship and impregnated a 14-year-old girl at the age of 18, ”reported The Casper Star-Tribune on Friday. Bouchard himself announced the news in a Facebook Live Thursday, trying to “get ahead of the story after learning that people were investigating his candidacy,” writes the Star-Tribune. The senator is challenging Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) For her House seat, but says he doesn’t believe Cheney’s team was involved in exploring the story, reports the Star-Tribune. “Two teenage girls, one girl gets pregnant,” Bouchard recounts in the Facebook Live video. “You’ve heard these stories before. She was a little younger than me, so it’s like the Romeo and Juliet story.” Bouchard did not reveal the girl’s age in the Facebook Live video, The Hill reports. Investigators have been stalking my family for weeks and now the fake Liberal news is coming out with a bestselling article about my teenage years. That’s why good people avoid running for office. I won’t back down, Swamp! @RepLizCheney Bring it! https://t.co/gaVSm6MkZM – Anthony Bouchard for Congress vs. Cheney (@AnthonyBouchard) May 21, 2021 Bouchard says the two married in Florida when he was 19 and she was 15, and divorced three years later. At 20, the anonymous ex-wife committed suicide, reports the Star-Tribune. “She had problems in another relationship,” Bouchard added in her video. “His father committed suicide.” Bouchard’s plans to run for office remain apparently unchanged: “Bring him on. I’ll stay in this race,” he told the Star-Tribune. After announcing his candidacy in January, Bouchard said he raised more than $ 300,000 in the first quarter of the year.
