Just gotta run white men. The country loves em. Can't get enough of em. They can do whatever they please.
And look at the wrap-up where he's trying to resign

Records show Jessup, 49, pleaded guilty in Nevada court on 13 November to attempted sexual assault, which is a kind of felony that can carry multiple years in prison, according to state law.
Indiana prohibits convicted felons from serving in state or local elected offices, though a decisive majority of its voters on 5 November helped vault Donald Trump to a second US presidency just months after a New York jury convicted him on felony charges of criminally falsifying business records.
Therefore, Jessup must resign – unlike Trump, who has also faced multimillion-dollar civil penalties for a rape allegation that a judge determined to be substantially true.
Jessup on Monday told the Guardian that he must fill out certain paperwork before he can step down. The county council chair had mailed him those papers, but they had not immediately arrived, said Jessup, who is awaiting a sentencing hearing tentatively scheduled for April.
According to what Jessup told the Daily Reporter, he was prepared for prosecutors to argue that he deserves between eight and 20 years in prison. Jessup reportedly said his attorneys were going to seek a sentence of probation.
“It’s been my greatest honor serving the people of Hancock county and I’m deeply, deeply ashamed and profoundly sorry for the shame that I brought to the county,” Jessup told the Daily Reporter.
An affidavit obtained and reported on by the outlet said Jessup’s criminal charges came after he flew to Las Vegas with a woman in January.
The affidavit did not identify the woman. But in an article on Tuesday, the Daily Reporter wrote that Jessup was charged with assaulting his youngest daughter, Rachel, on a trip to Las Vegas intended to celebrate her 21st birthday.
“I never dreamed it would have ended up the way it did,” Rachel Jessup reportedly told the outlet.
Multiple witnesses allegedly told authorities that John Jessup got Rachel intoxicated. Allegedly, as Jessup repeatedly said the slogan “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”, she became so intoxicated she needed a wheelchair to get back to her hotel room.
There, she said she recalled showering while clothed – and her next recollection was waking up naked as Jessup sexually assaulted her, authorities wrote in the affidavit cited by the Daily Reporter.
