the creep should have resigned days ago
If the Woman was an Unpaid Intern, this wouldn’t be a problem, right?
After all, it’s nobody’s business, right?
BTW, did the Congressman Lie un Oath?
I suspect there is a lot more story behind the story here.
As is often the case in politics, if someone does something really horrible, if their peers want them out they will find a petty excuse to give them the boot, not the real reason, figuring it will give ammunition to their political enemies.
Geez... Hey Vance! It’s one of the BIG ten that you are supposed to follow... You should resign and spend lots of time repairing your family...
Definitely hurts our cause. What he did, while common by today’s standards, was still selfish and wrong. He should have stepped down already.
He’s a freshman congressman and he’s already diddling around on his wife? He needs to go. Don’t want to be married? Then don’t marry, or get a divorce. But don’t break a vow you made to your spouse and expect the people you represent to trust you.
"He who is void of virtuous Attachments in private Life, is, or very soon will be void of all Regard for his Country. There is seldom an Instance of a Man guilty of betraying his Country, who had not before lost the Feeling of moral Obligations in his private Connections." - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775
"Since private and publick Vices, are in Reality, though not always apparently, so nearly connected, of how much Importance, how necessary is it, that the utmost Pains be taken by the Publick, to have the Principles of Virtue early inculcated on the Minds even of children, and the moral Sense kept alive, and that the wise institutions of our Ancestors for these great Purposes be encouraged by the Government. For no people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775
"Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust be men of unexceptionable characters. The public cannot be too curious concerning the character of public men." - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775
He should resign. He never built up any trust to begin with.
Vitter did not admit to much.
