Dakota Concorde

Dakota Concorde (né u/TheSlavThatSpace) is a disgraced American politician, reporter, and media executive who served as a United States senator from Tennessee until his resignation in 2034. Prior to and during his time in the U.S. Senate, Dakota also served as a reporter for MockCBS, a news network that he owned. He is also a fugitive of the law in the United States

MockCBS
MockCBS was an American news network owned and operated by Tennessee senator Dakota Concorde, who also served as its chief reporter. After Dakota resigned from the senate and fled the country, the network was abandoned and filed for bankruptcy. In 2035, MockCBS and its assets were acquired by the international media conglomerate MSNBC Holdings under the leadership of chairman Strom Thurmond.

Resignation
In 2034, then-Senator Dakota commented under a post made by New Hampshire Senator Smallman in which the latter expressed his support for LGBTQ rights with the statement, "That's great, but I personally support all rights for all Americans." When challenged by several of his colleagues, Dakota began defending his views on LGBTQ rights and even claimed that homophobia no longer existed in the United States because corporations embraced pride month, sparking widespread outrage.

Trial before the mod team
Dakota's comments soon became the subject of an investigation launched by the MEUS mod team for violating rules on toxicity and homophobia. Later that month, Ohio Senator Leavemealone was called upon to testify against Dakota, at which point the two began arguing over the impacts of Dakota's statements. At the same time, however, Dakota was also arguing with several other legislators in a different chat, where he attacked and insulted them for being critical of his continued antipathy towards the LGBTQ.

Dakota proceeded to make a series of bizarre public statements, including one where he asserted that supporting LGBTQ rights and stopping bigotry was actually the real homophobia, and he continued to paint himself as the victim by claiming that he had been "attacked" for months over his persistent homohopbic statements.

Attempted removal from office
Shortly after Leavemealone's testimony, a group of senators filed articles to expel Dakota from the United States Senate on the grounds of homophobia and toxicity. In the face of near certain expulsion and mounting disapproval, even from his allies in the Senate Republican Conference, Dakota resigned from his senate seat before fleeing the country to avoid facing judgement by the courts.

Dakota has since taken refuge in Russia, where he continues to maintain that he was, in fact, the victim of real homophobia because he was "attacked" for "disagreeing" with LGBTQ rights. He has further used his religion as a defense for his homophobic views, and has argued that those who support the LGBTQ community are not "real" Christians.

Dakota remains a fugitive of the law in the United States, although Russian authorities have declined to extradite him. He is currently barred from freely entering the United States.
