Speaking to WMUR,Fisher admitted to writing at least some of the material attributed to him,which he characterized as "some injudicious things about the opposite sex following a bad breakup", [7] including,from a 2008 post:
Rape isn't an absolute bad,because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot. I think he'd say it's quite good,really. ... . I think rape is bad,I'm not arguing for it. I'm arguing against the idea of an absolute truth. [7]
Fisher also told WMUR:
That was an out-of-context quote from a nearly decade-old debate about the failings of moral relativism." [7]
Following bipartisan comments calling for him to resign from his state House of Representatives seat,Fisher stated in April that he did not plan to do so. [8]
On May 17,a Republican-led House committee voted 8-6 along party lines to recommend no disciplinary action against Fisher. Less than an hour later,while an investigation for perjury was getting started,Fisher resigned under social and political pressure. [9] House Minority Leader Steve Shurtleff had called for a perjury investigation by the state attorney general's office,but said that Fisher's resignation made this no longer necessary. [10]
