Aaron Schock Federal Election Filing Raises Speculation He\u2019s Planning New Run for Congress<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Disgraced former Republican congressman Aaron Schock has filed papers with the Federal Election Commission, raising speculation that he\u2019ll attempt another run for the U.S. House Representatives months after corruption charges against him were dismissed and weeks after a nude, sexual video<\/a> turned up on Twitter.<\/p>\n

To everyone asking if #AaronSchock<\/a> is really running for Congress again \u2013 here’s the only receipt you need. It’s true. And here’s a photo of Schock with his political role model. Need I say more? pic.twitter.com\/ogQ5PzbvJL<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out Schock\u2019s Statement of Organization HERE<\/a> and a Financial Summary HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former Republican congressman\u2019s hypocrisy has been talked about much in recent weeks, after photographs were taken of him with a group of gay men<\/a>\u00a0at the Coachella Music festival, and\u00a0talking up various men<\/a>\u00a0at a West Hollywood pool.<\/p>\n

You may recall that Schock\u00a0recently slid out of corruption charges<\/a>\u00a0including filing false tax returns, mail fraud, wire fraud, submitting false reports to the FEC, false statements, and theft of government funds, defrauding the government of more than $100,000.<\/p>\n

Aside from the dropped corruption charges, Schock is known for his support of a federal amendment to ban same-sex<\/a> marriage and his support of the military\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell\u201d policy. As well as\u00a0that Downton Abbey office<\/a>, and his\u00a0unforgettable turquoise belt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Activist James Duke Mason, who took the posted of Schock at Coachella, said at the time: \u201cNormally I wouldn\u2019t comment on something like this, but I am just infuriated by these images of former Republican (and anti-gay<\/a>) Congressman Aaron Schock partying with a group of gay<\/a> men<\/a> at Coachella. The fact that he would think he could show his face in public, particularly when he has NEVER renounced or apologized for his votes against gay<\/a> marriage, gays<\/a> in the military and against anti-discrimination laws is astounding. My intention isn\u2019t to out him or target him personally, but simply to point out the hypocrisy. I saw him at a recent gay<\/a> social event in West Hollywood and shook his hand before I even knew who he was; he should really be ashamed of himself. And the gays<\/a> who associate with him without calling him out should know better. It really is a disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n
