[Daily Caller] The chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party who was once filmed making sexually explicit comments has announced his bid to be the next Democratic National Committee chair.Raymond Buckley, who would be the country’s first openly gay chair of a major national party, says he will bring much-needed "urgent reform" to the DNC if elected. But Buckley doesn’t come without baggage of his own.
In 2007, as Buckley was running for chair of the state Democratic Party, video surfaced on YouTube showing him making sexually explicit comments and unzipping his pants on camera. "Would you like me to fuc* you hard?" he says into the camera.
Then-Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes called the video "highly disturbing" and said "proper authorities should look into the matter to determine the best course of action."
Around the same time, Buckley’s former housemate, state Rep. Steve Vaillancourt accused Buckley of possessing child pornography, prompting a months-long investigation into the matter.
