Matt Gaetz defended the outgoing congresswoman, saying that personal photos "released through the inflamed passions of an ex" do not "impair your public service or fitness as a candidate.

  1. The photo leak was wrong. Having relations with her staff was wrong. Everybody was wrong. I guess #metoo principles don’t apply when women commit the alleged offenses.

    1. @Creator the right doesn’t know the difference between consensual and non consensual and you show it with your votess.

  2. 🤨 Nancy Pelosi forced her out so she wouldn’t “be a distraction”. Meanwhile, Pelosi came out in support of two pro-NRA, anti-gay and anti-choice candidates over progressives in Blue districts. Henry Cuellar in Texas and Dan Lapinski in Illinois.

  3. I hope she runs again in the future. If Trump had an ounce of her decency , he would have stepped down from office long ago.

    1. Hey girl, I just wanted to let you know that the trolls have an account using your picture with blackened eyes. It looks screenshot. I told them they must have been scared of you

  4. She should take responsibility for her actions! Stop pointing the finger. We all know if this was a man all hell would break loose so let’s just cut the BS women want to be in power they’ve got to take it just like a man can. You can’t claim to be victimized when schitts the fan! She should be ashamed of herself

  5. She should have stayed and fought it. No one cares about naked pictures. The corruption dishonesty and lawlessness that trump has inspired in the Republican Party must be fought.

  6. Not right! She is a victim not a participant. People are not perfect! This is totally different than sexual assault!

    1. she was in a position of power and had inappropriate relations with people who worked FOR her, that’s absolute misconduct. not to mention it was an affair, and she is smiling for each of those pictures

  7. It was an innappropriate, (not your open relationship, or bisexuality, but relationship with the staffer), but you should not be stepping down. I can’t judge but wish you stayed and fought back all the harder.

  8. *_I’m tired of the outcry for this lady. The “me too” movement has cost so many men their livelihoods. In many cases deservedly so but in many others not so much. How many stories have we heard of where a man and woman committed similar if not the very same crime involving sexual activity but the guy is thrown under the jail and the woman’s actions are either explained away, downplayed or she’s given a slap on the wrist? It’s ridiculous. And while we’re not talking about a crime in this instance the outrage on her behalf is so hypocritical and smells of double standard. Whether or not there are men with a similar if not worst history that still have their job is irrelevant. Why? Because we all believe that they shouldn’t. They should have done what she has elected to do or was forced to to. Whichever way you see it. Can’t have it both ways and what applies to one sex should apply to the other._*

  9. I mean she isn’t wrong. If this was a guy it would be a public apology or hush money. Although it doesn’t make it any better either way.

  10. a blond woman who smokes marijuana in a state where it’s legal and likes other women. Sounds like one member of Congress I might actually like to hang out with.
