John Boehner’s primary challenger, Tea Party member J.D. Winteregg, has lost his university teaching job over a raunchy campaign ad attacking the House Speaker. [watch the ad here]
As Liberals Unite reported earlier this month, the ad spoofed a typical commercial for a drug for erectile dysfunction.
UPI reports that “Winteregg, 32, has lost his position as an adjunct French instructor at Cedarville University, a small Christian school 25 miles east of Dayton, Ohio,” as a result of the ad.
A Cedarville University public relations director, Mark Weinstein, confirmed the termination in an emailed statement.
“J.D.Winteregg has been an adjunct professor of French for the past three years. He instructed one online class each semester but last week concluded his teaching responsibilities. He is not scheduled to teach any future classes at Cedarville University.
Cedarville University does not engage in partisan politics and holds a high regard for displaying Christian values in the community. When faculty or staff members participate in political conversations, interviews, advertisements, or endorsements, they are doing so as individual citizens. Mr. Winteregg in his recent political campaign video did not represent the views or values of Cedarville University.”
