NV-4: Rep. Ruben Kihuen accused of sexual harassment, announces retirement

Wow. ABC article has Kihuen saying that Pelosi and the DCCC knew about the allegations during his campaign, but still funded him. Shades of Mark Foley 2006, very explosive allegation against the Democratic leadership.

Adamant denials from all parties he accused though, so I seriously doubt that's true. If there was a DCCC internal investigation like he claims then there would be a paperwork trail somewhere, and if that was the case there wouldn't have been the absolute adamant denials from Pelosi, the Nevada Democratic party, and the DCCC. Sounds like Kihuen is so desperate he's resorted to lying.

There must be a thousand people who could do Kihuen's job as well as he's doing it. Why would we not want a Congressman not accused of doing these things, particularly given she's released some compelling circumstantial proof (creepy text messages from Kihuen.)

Lets not kid ourselves, even if Kihuen is forced to resign he can easily get a cushy lobbyist job. Even on the extreme off chance these allegations are false he's not going to be living on the street corner or something, he's just going to move from one cushy job to another cushy job. I see no problem with asking him to resign.
