Tossup. She shouldn't be resigning, though; these photos are just revenge porn.

Who had Duncan Hunter outlasting Katie Hill?

[free my dawg]

Sad to see. Hopefully her replacement is as progressive.

[McNukes™ #NYCMMWasAHero]

Hopefully her district votes out her party in the special election.

This seat is rapidly trending blue. It won't be a competitive special election.

When will people learn to not get involved with their bosses or subordinates?  (Human nature being what it is, probably never.)  Even relationships with coworkers are usually a problem.  I've seen many office romances over the years, and most of them had unhappy and disruptive endings; although tbf, two of them did result in happy marriages.  And I've seen at least two people fired for having an affair with a subordinate.

Hopefully her district sees the light and votes out her decadent and degenerate party in the special election.

(Insert sounds of hysterical laughter at a member of the party of Roy Moore, David Vitter, Blake Farenthold, Mark Foley, etc. casting stones about the other party's decadence and degeneracy.)

[Roll Roons]

Wow, didn’t even last a full year. How many House members have had shorter terms than this?

[Landslide Lyndon]

The fact that the blue avatars celebrate because a smear campaign by an abusive husband against his ex-wife has succeeded makes me sick.

[henster]

More Dems should be like Ralph Northam, grow a freaking backbone.

She posted them herself.

Northam had scandal after scandal down the line of succession though.

She posted them herself, and she committed rape too.

Why is this person still allowed to post that kind of garbage every day?

It's utterly embarrassing that Justin Fairfax is still the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. He was accused by not one, but two women, of rape and/or sexual assault, and he is defiant as always, refusing to resign his position. Of course, we have Trump. I would ask this of Atlas Democrats, however: If you wish to hold Republican politicians to a high standard (and I'm not attacking you for that), why don't you hold your own politicians to the same? I would be all for Trump being turned out of office, if Justin Fairfax and others like him were.

You should be grateful I invited him to this board in the first place, along with getting Red Eagle to invite his thousands of fans, over two dozen of which have already joined.

[lfromnj]

Btw is this the 1st women to resign from congress in Scandal? Glass ceilings broken everyday.

[DrScholl]

You all want to talk about perverts while someone who has admitted to rape in the White House? Give me a damn break. The hypocrisy is stunning.

[Horus]

Everyone seems to think Caforio will be the Dem nominee but what about that volcanologist chick?

[OneJ]

This seat is still going blue (atlas red), lol.

[DrScholl]

Good riddance to this degenerate sexual deviant and polygamist who obviously gets her rocks off by sleeping with subordinates.

I'll boldly predict that the special will be competitive and that Republicans will land a good recruit.

They don't have any good recruits in the district.

It was a great victory. One of the dems' rising stars has been neutralized by her own crazy actions.

[Beet]

Sad to see. A sexual relationship with a subordinate can be unfair to other employees, but it is not really that bad unless there is some abuse of power involved (e.g. Coercion). It is not inherently abuse. It should be up to the subordinate to determine whether they felt coerced.

The revenge porn aspect is a more egregious offense, IMO. The if the entire company of Gawker can go down for publishing that racist Hulk Hogan's pics, whichever website did this can be shut down to.

[Landslide Lyndon]

She should seek a job at Pornhub ; I guess she would fit really well in the porn industry 😂

This is what passes for modern conservatism today.  A bunch of internet trolls who think that revenge porn and spousal abuse are a laughing matter.

Angela Underwood-Jacobs looks solid. She's a city councilwoman from Lancaster and the GOP really needs a black person in the house with Hurd leaving.
