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.
When the media reports on a republican's scandal, it's "good journalism."
When the media reports on a democrat's scandal, it's a "smear campaign," and they should be sued.
Context matters. Everything points to this not being a true "scandal" against Hill, rather just blatant sexism and revenge porn put out by an ex.
I really don't see how Hill did anything wrong.
If I were her, I'd have shut my mouth, not quit, and let the police investigate.
We wouldn't have a Congress without elected Reps sleeping around, I suppose. Especially with staffers and campaign hangers-on. Let the police investigate the revenge porn, let Katie Hill rescind her resignation (if that's possible), and let the voters have the last word. Let the Ethics Committee properly investigate and discipline her for any ethical violations she may have committed.
But let's not forget to recognize that Katie Hill is a stupid idiot with an absurd lack of judgement and a shortage of self-control. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but I somehow think that an elected officials ought to have a bit more personal restraint than Hill has displayed. The revenge porn needs to be punished, but Hill was stupid enough to voluntarily put herself in the position she put herself in.
