Katie Hill resigning from office

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Why should she stand down?

It was a consensual relationship and it started before she became a congresswoman. Hill seems to actually be the victim here as this is a major violation of her privacy. Plus, it seems that the only places picking it up are right-wing outlets.

She could actually sue on the basis of revenge porn.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Damn.....she a freak

Honestly, she's just living her best bi life.

Regarding the second relationship, it's still her private life, it was consensual, and the source is a right-wing outlet. Whether she broke any rules (it does not appear that she did) that'll be between her and house leadership.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Eh. I don't think it's a big deal unless bigger and less partisan outlets pick this up. The only entities that are really pushing this story are right wingers like RedState and Comfortably Smug, and they aren't exactly the most trustworthy sources. Even photographs can be be easily edited.

So needless to say I'm skeptical.

Funny stuff.

ftfy

Well, this is looking like a real nothingburger. No major outlet has picked it up and Hill is still a congresswoman and the vice chair of the freakin’ Oversight committee. 

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Per Politico, there is no evidence that Hill had an affair except her husband’s unsupported claim that this was the case and she has alleged that her husband was abusive towards her.  DC police investigating whether photos were illegally obtained and/or were revenge porn.  At this point, while the whole threeouple thing is really weird (to say the least) and this certainly showed some poor judgment on Hill’s part, I don’t think there’s any reason for her to resign or even that she shouldn’t be re-elected at this point.

Thank goodness.

She should sue RedState into bankruptcy for this.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

So RedState is now publishing private text messages between Hill and Heslep in which they imply she has a drinking problem... Not only is this clearly a hitjob by RedState and her ex, but this is a blatant violation of Hill’s privacy. They are opening the door to a sh**tload of legal problems.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I seriously hope she sues the f*** out of her ex and RedState once this is all over.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Again, no problems detected. Sue those who are leaking these photos. The iron cross claim seems like an incredible stretch.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

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.

I suspect this woman will be allowed to skate by, will win re-election, and will linger in the halls of Congress for years to come. Just another disgraceful presence in such a flawed body. This thread is also very revealing, in terms of exposing partisanship. Trump's comment that his voters would not abandon him even if he shot someone can in many ways be applied to the Democratic base as well. Some are of the mentality that even if the worst offense is exposed, there should be no remedy, if it is not practically convenient.

I'm defending her because the right is attacking her by leaking private photos of her. She literally did nothing wrong.

Well, there's also the affair that she admitted to.

She admitted to the throupl, which was consensual and violated no laws. The main problem is that she's being accused of having an affair with a congressional staffer, which remains unproven and which she has denied. Keep up.

Are you enjoying being deliberately obtuse?

It is blatantly and flagrantly unethical to engage in a clandestine relationship with someone who you directly supervise. Workplace ethics 101. The hacks here would have no problem acknowledging this if it was a Republican and/or male doing it.

LOL I could literally ask the same of you as those allegations remain UNPROVEN. If you went through my post history you would know I supported Al Franken resigning. Cut the partisan crap, because you look ridiculous.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

It was just reported that Rep. Hill’s attorneys have sent a cease and desist to the Daily Mail and are demanding they remove the nude pictures as they violate revenge porn laws.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Wow, blue avs cheering on the destruction of a woman at the hands of an abusive ex. And calling US the degenerates at the same time.

Katie Hill should sue the NRCC into bankruptcy.

The police should be involved at this point.

Should honestly rescind her resignation.

No, she really, really shouldn’t.

She really, really should. She shouldn’t give into the right’s smear campaign.
