politically live by pushing theocratic moralizing rhetoric, and die - politically - by to said theocratic moralizing rhetoric.
See-ya!
I guess his career was aborted.
Good riddance. I always love seeing Republican hypocrits get it shoved up their ass. Sad.
He’ll be on Fox in 3,2,1. I wonder what led him to this – must be even worse stuff coming out – because a democratic governor will be appointing his replacement.
I thought the seat stays open until a special election. Governors appoint Senators, but Representatives too?
Here is the answer:
Article 1 of the US constitution says:
Clause 4: Vacancies
“When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies. ”
Section 2, Clause 4, provides that when vacancies occur in the House of Representatives, it is not the job of the House of Representatives to arrange for a replacement, but the job of the State whose vacant seat is up for refilling. Moreover, the State Governor may not appoint a temporary replacement, but must instead arrange for a special election to fill the vacancy. The original qualifications and procedures for holding that election are still valid.
No, PA doesn’t have appointment for Congress. So special election it is.
So when will trump’s mistresses come out of the woodwork and make similar claims?
Good riddance but I never understand why guys in his position quit. He said he wasn’t running for re-election which should be good enough. It’s his job until the next election.
Hunker down and finish out your term. The damage is done.
A rubber, a rubber! My kingdom for a rubber!
What an idiot!
Honest to God…‘ardently opposing’ but secretly using…it boggles the flippin’ MIND how they can justify such hypocrisy.
Leaving so soon, Congressman?
I guess this means there are other mistresses in the wings who have already been forced to have abortions…or worse!
Otoh, perhaps he can’t face the disdain from his colleagues in the House and/or he’s needed at home where the missus can keep a close eye on him and his exploits.
I say quit, and then wait a little while and shamelessly run again! The GOP voters are such RUBES!
–Rep. Mark Sanders (R-SC)
Yet another Family Values Hypocrite Repugnican.
Did he have one of those press conferences where the cheated on wife stands next to him and looks absolutely humiliated?
For all the GOP says they hate abortion, many many conservative guys have pressured lots of daughters, girlfriends, and wives to have one.
He wants to spend more time with his family…oh, wait, he’s getting divorced.
That’s all nice but, why is Scott DesJarlis still representing Tennessee’s 4th district after being caught doing the same thing?
Haven’t you heard? They’re against birth control. Abstinence only is the ticket
