Katie Hill resigning from office

[Devout Centrist]

The Daily Mail seems to think she has an iron cross tattoo?? Which, uh, from the grainy photos depicted, it probably isn’t that.

She definitely seems like a terrible person if all of this is true, and I won't defend her, but Republicans really shouldn't be pearl clutching and claiming double standards here. If Trump had done this, we all know how Republicans would react. Not to mention two Republicans who were literally criminals won re-election last year, as did a neo-Nazi and a guy who body slammed a reporter.

For smoking a bong and drinking? Damn. Keep your morals to yourself.

You seem obsessed on defending this woman. Though I definitely agree with Xing about the despicable Republicans whom he mentions (Hunter, Collins, King, and Gianforte), and though I certainly recognize how Republicans defend Trump (many of them worship at his altar, burning incense and offering gifts on a daily basis...), I also don't think that this all should excuse Hill either. What she has been accused of, based off what we have now, is much worse than what Al Franken did.

Are we really saying here that Person A leaking nude photos of Person B is now somehow an awful thing on Person B's part and/or somehow their fault and that they should have to resign over it?

Nobody here is saying that. The revenge porn is disgusting and she is right to do everything in her power to take it down. Just because her privacy is being invaded by the right doesn't mean she didn't do anything wrong.

Republicans are literally just throwing around revenge pornography in an attempt to intimidate a member of Congress - who has done literally nothing wrong here - into resigning.

Engaging in multiple affairs with campaign staffers is very clearly something wrong.

She denies having an affair with her legislative director (which, if proven true, would be a serious ethics violation). She admitted to her relationship with an aide, but that apparently predates her hire. A little more murky than the former case.

If we're making people resign over affairs a good 25% of Congress at minimum should be gone.

Bolded and colored the important bit that you conveniently ignored.

As previously stated, she denies having an affair with her legislative director; the relationship with her aide predates Hill hiring her.

Yeah the state should be evacuated by the remaining Republicans, it's clear it's a lost cause at this point and has been entirely subsumed as a fiefdom of the Democratic Party.

Pure Brain Genius from Alabama.

Come to think of it, I think that used to describe another state...
