Probably could line up a couple hundred of these guys with little effort.
All they have to do is pee off somebody and the mistress pops up. lol

I think the humiliation was overpowering… and he really doesn’t give a crap about his constituents.
Texts with the mistress showed he really did not give two shits about pro-life- said his staffers wrote that garbage.
Yet that was one of his primary themes.

I bet Ryan wanted him gone to remove the constant reminder that the Republicans are nothing but liars and cheats. Not that his resignation will remove that fact.

Why is he resigning? The whole GOP is a disgrace. He fits right in.

Push him out now so they don’t have to run at midterms with him still fresh in voters’ minds.

I hate it when my mistress thinks she pregnant and I’m a family values anti-abortion Republican and I pressure her to get an abortion, don’t you? Dang it!

More proof that anyone who regularly refers to themselves, or allows others to refer to him as “doctor” in non-clinical contexts is probably a raging asshat.

Hey, is Scott DesJarlais still in Congress? Someone should ask Paul Ryan why hasn’t he gotten the boot.

How does a guy his age without a gigantic fortune even get a woman with a Ph.D who’s 32 years younger than he is to become his “mistress?”

Um, asking for a friend.

The Daily Mail has pictures of his good-looking wife and the woman young enough to be his daughter (not that, under different circumstances, there’s anything wrong with that.)

And DeJarlais is even a bigger pig. His mistress was also one of his patients.
