Katie Hill resigning from office

[lfromnj]

There goes her chances of being a future senator

This increases her chances lol.

So you’re going to impeach her too? Give me a Xanax I don’t care about any of this stuff as long as she’s doing a good job. No one’s perfect, and her private life is certainly none of our business. #BetterToHaveThrouplesThanTroubles

Didn't you hear though?
She wants to impeach Trump.
>tossup.

I wouldn't call her a Nazi until we know when we get that tatoo or why. People are idiots when young. Maybe she was 18 and made a bet? Anyway this should be investigated to some degree  even if it's not illegal.

Huh.  Credit where credit is due.  Good on Gaetz for doing the right thing here (assuming it’s not a staffer tweet ).

Ik its Twitter but this shows politically why compromise is useless. The Republican hacks just say i disagree and all the Democrats say vote out Gaetz for no reason

Nothing about red state. My guess? Its much easier to shut down news papers for libel or other sh**t in the UK than in the US. Not sure where the court case would be

Another claim by dailymail.

Btw is this the 1st women to resign from congress in Scandal? Glass ceilings broken everyday.

The fact that the blue avatars celebrate because a smear campaign by an abusive husband against his ex-wife has succeeded makes me sick.

May I ask what basis there is to call this a "smear campaign"?

Because she's a woman and he's a man. Best to just move past this and get a better Democrat in there.

Given that the Democrats have been getting destroyed in competitive elections post 2018, it'll be interesting to see if they can keep this seat.

Destroyed where?

IIRC Loretta sanchez in the region only got like 38% of the vote against 5 Republicand and still lost an Orange county supervisor seat. The other major California special sd 1 saw ds only get 30% of the vote in a trump +15 district. California specials so far have been bad for Democrats

CA SOS Alex Padilla is considering jumping in:

That would be an idiotic tier move

Wait, why did she resign? The D hacks in this thread told me she did nothing wrong. It was just a rigged witch hunt!

Tbf she might have just wanted to end the embarrassment for herself.
What's sh**tty is that lot a single reporter could reach out to the staffer or the husband
