Rep. Mark Kirk To Be Investigated For Possible DADT Violation

12/30/09-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
Representative Mark Kirk may end up hoisted on his own petard. It all depends upon the investigation into allegations that his is gay. According to sources within the Pentagon, NCIS has to investigate the allegations made by Rep. Kirk’s opponent in the Republican primary. Andy Martin made the accusations against Rep. Kirk in a recent attack ad. While the ad has been resoundly denounced by the Republicans, the ad’s charges have come to the attention of the military since Rep. Kirk is a member of the Naval Reserves.

Rep. Kirk is strongly opposed to the attempts to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, a law which he is now being accused of having broken. Should he be found guilty of homosexuality, he will be honorably discharged with notation if he does not resign first.

According to Martin’s ad “I helped expose many of Barack Obama’s lies in 2008. Today, I am fighting for the facts about Mark Kirk. Illinois Republican leader Jack Roeser says there is a ’solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual.’ Roeser suggests that Kirk is part of a Republican Party homosexual club. Lake County Illinois Republican leader Ray True says Kirk has surrounded himself with homosexuals. Mark Kirk should tell Republican voters the truth.” Of course, Mr. True has shot back that he was never contacted by Martin about this, and that the statements were false.

Currently, there is an attempt being made by Democrats to repeal DADT, but the Military Readiness Enhancement Act is stalled due to opposition by the Conservative Democrats and Republicans. It may be folded into the Defense legislation in the coming year.

Rep. Kirk was dispatched to Kandahar, Afghanistan. According to him, it was “the first time a U.S. Representative-reservist has deployed to an imminent danger area since World War II.”

Because of the seriousness of the allegations, anyone with information is encouraged to contact DC NCIS’ General Crimes and Fraud Hotline 1-800-264-6485.
