Is Member of Republican Leadership Kevin McCarthy Having An Affair With Rep. Renee Ellmers?
From your link.If this is not Boehner 2.0 I dont know what it,really looks bad.

The affair is something of an open secret in Washington, D.C. Reporters at other publications, lobbyists, congressional staffers of both parties all know about it. One staffer for a congressman describes it as the “biggest open secret” in D.C. A lobbyist describes Ellmers as a “social climber who has ingratiated herself” with McCarthy.
House leadership also knows about the affair. Speaker John Boehner reportedly told McCarthy to stop the affair once McCarthy was elected Majority Leader says a well placed congressional staffer. At least one leadership staffer doesn’t think the affair ended. “They are unusually close,” says the staffer who insists that the affair is going on. “It’s weird if he’s not f*cking her.”
Ellmers, who was elected in 2010, has traveled with Kevin McCarthy throughout North Carolina on the campaign trail in 2014. McCarthy campaigned for Ellmers during her 2014 primary challenge with radio talk show host Frank Roche.
…Calls and emails to Reps. Ellmers’s and McCarthy’s offices were unreturned.

I have heard that if a ground swell of support were to pop up for Trey Gowdy he would be interested.
