TC Ryan Addresses Abuse Charges, Offers Apology, Asks For Prayers As He Looks To Move Forward
Statement from TC Ryan to The Okie via OKGOP Chairman Randy Brogdon…
News of an unfortunate past experience I was a part of has recently resurfaced.
On one occasion I was involved in a domestic altercation that resulted in my admission of guilt to two misdemeanor charges. I regret both the circumstances that led to the incident and the fact that the incident occurred. This will forever be a mark on my past.
Since that incident, I have fulfilled all legal requirements and resolved to move forward in a positive and constructive manner. I have grown from this error and I fully believe that physical violence is wrong under all circumstances.
I offer my sincere apologies to all involved in the incident and to those that doubt my ability to function as a part of the staff at the Oklahoma Republican Party; I promise that a single past action is not an indicator of who I am today. I am grateful that Chairman Brogdon has shown grace and patience with me; he knows my heart and I am grateful for his acceptance of me.
I humbly look forward to continuing service on behalf of the Oklahoma Republican Party and acknowledge the trust placed in me; I recognize that some believe I do not deserve it; It is your prayers and support that I ask for as I continue to grow as a person and move beyond my past action.
Respectfully,
T.C. Ryan
I’m a very conservative Republican and know very little about TC Ryan. However, because of this serious blot in his (not that long ago) past, he should resign. He, like anyone, can and should be forgiven personally if he’s truly repentant and completed anger-management classes, but with our actions come consequences. And he shouldn’t be in any type of leadership position in the Republican Party in Oklahoma. Period.
