Biden-Supporting NH State Rep Resigns After Questioning Reade Story by Theorizing About ‘Position of Female Vagina’

“I am appalled by Representative Komi’s comments,” Shurtleff said.

“They were dismissive and hurtful to survivors of sexual assault across the Granite State and across the country,” he said. “The comments are not fitting for the New Hampshire House of Representatives and immediately upon learning of them I called him and asked Representative Komi to resign his seat.”

Komi, the first refugee elected to state office, initially apologized for making the controversial comment.

“I regret the poor choice of words that I used,” Komi told the Washington Examiner. “It kind of portrayed me as someone who doesn’t care about women or the victims of sexual assault. That is not the case.”

Not long after, Komi resigned his position.

Komi lives in New Hampshire because he was placed there as a refugee. The Concord Monitor reported in 2018:

A member of the Ogoni People, Komi fled political persecution in Nigeria after he was targeted by the government, which at the time was a military dictatorship that “visited tremendous violence against my people,” he said. Komi spent time in a Benin refugee camp before he arrived in Manchester on Sept. 13, 1999.

When he first ran for office in 2008, he remembers that former president Barack Obama had just been elected and that New Hampshire’s State House was controlled by the Democrats. The political climate, he says, was much more civil.

According to his Facebook page, Komi is married.
