Rep. Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev., announced Saturday that he would not seek re-election in the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against him.
"I want to state clearly again that I deny the allegations in question," Kihuen said in a statement first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. However, the freshman congressman added that "it is in the best interests of my family and my constituents to complete my term in Congress and not seek re-election."
The announcement by Kihuen, 37, came one day after the House Ethics Committee announced it had opened an investigation into the harassment claims against him.
Earlier this month, a former campaign aide accused Kihuen of propositioning her for dates and sex despite her repeated rejections during his 2016 campaign. This week, a lobbyist told the Nevada Independent that he touched her thighs and buttocks and made unwanted sexual advances while he was a state senator.

He’s probably quitting to spend more time with someone’s family...probably not his.

Not to mention the allegations leveled against Schmucky Schumer. His reaction? Demanding law enforcement investigate the source of the accusations. Hey, all such allegations must be taken with the utmost seriousness! So much for #metoo (or should that be #meTOOL ?). This is what the libs wanted, and this is what they got, AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT.

Poor Lefties, thought they could pull a clinton and get away with it. Absolutely right. Most of America was silent (especially Women) during Clinton's sexing everything he could find. "Me too" NOW is so pathetic.

Thanks Kaslin. Earlier topics about this clown noted that Pelosi and the DCCC learned of the allegations but continued to support him -- until the allegations got publicity.
