"The Colorado Republican Party on Wednesday called on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter to explain whether he offered former state Rep. Steve Lebsock a job to avoid a scandal for the Democratic Party.

The offer was alleged to be an incentive for Lebsock to resign, months before he was voted out of the legislature over sexual harassment allegations. Lebsock made that allegation against the congressman from Arvada on a conservative radio show last week.

Colorado Republican Party chair Jeff Hays, however, issued a statement Wednesday.

“If Lebsock’s story is true, Congressman Perlmutter’s conduct was highly unethical, to say the very least,” stated Hays. “He offered Lebsock something of monetary value, a job, in exchange for Lebsock sparing their party embarrassment. Shouldn’t Perlmutter at least have to answer the question, ‘Hey Ed, did you really say that?’ The people of the 7th Congressional District deserve to know whether their representative is willing to cut dirty deals behind closed doors.”
