Argentine Lawmaker Suspended for Lewd Act During Virtual Legislative Session

VOA News

   Argentine lawmaker Juan Emilio Ameri was suspended for inappropriate
   conduct Thursday after he was unintentionally caught fondling his wife
   during a virtual session of the legislature.

   During a broadcast of a debate on pending legislation, Ameri, of the
   ruling Peronist Party, could be seen pulling down his wife's top and
   kissing one of her breasts.

   Ameri reportedly told Con Vos de Buenos Aires radio he was ashamed
   about the incident and that he was unaware he was still connected by
   the internet with the legislature.

   During the interview Ameri said he got up close with his wife because
   she recently received breast implants.

   A short time after the incident, lawmakers voted to suspend Ameri,
   whose moment of passion went viral.
