Rising Democratic star Megan Barry is expected to resign as Mayor of Nashville at a hastily scheduled press conference that will be held at Nashville City Hall at 10 a.m. central on Tuesday, according to The Tennessean and other local media outlets.

Barry admitted on January 31 that she had a two-year-long affair with her bodyguard, former Metro Nashville Police Department Sgt. Rob Forrest, as Breitbart News reported:

WTH? I kinda thought this stuff was standard practice for the alt left radical extremist party. Must be more to the story than a mere extramarital affair. Guess she didn't get any pointers from billy the dog huh? Now Nashville will probably elect a conservative right? LOL! Not likely with all them lib c&w entertainers in the vicinity.

Exactly my first thought. Does she not get a pass like Clinton because she’s a woman? Isn’t that sexist?

[hal ogen]

Typical LIB/DIM loser. Not only was she screwing her “body guard” on city time but she also pleaded guilty to felony theft. Hahaha! To top it off, she’s a hag. Bwahahahahaaa.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I guess her star wasn’t the only thing that was rising.

[irishjuggler]

I’m truly shocked... that a Democrat would resign over something like this. Only Republicans are supposed to quit after the discovery of this sort of misbehavior. Didn’t she get the memo? She was supposed to (1) laugh off her prudish critics; or (2) claim persecution for sexism, racism or homophobia; or (3) blame alcohol and say she’s going to rehab.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

She and her “lover” ain’t risin’ no more.

[dsrtsage]

Well, she is clearly guilty like most democrat women

[Bodleian_Girl]

I think they forced her hand with the felony theft charges.

[rktman]

Apparently the sex part is only secondary to the misuse of city/county/state funds. If it were just sex, meh.

It’s way more than an affair. The boyfriend was racking up massive overtime while the two of them jetted around the world, all on the tax payers dime. And more.

[dead]

She’s a little bit hotter than Yogi Berra.

[dragnet2]

Yet more corruption and sleaze from those in government. Everyday...Day in, day out, more corruption and sleaze.

It’s odd how government, at all levels, seems to attract these types of people.

[jjotto]

Another case of the Trump Curse. She’s a monster Trump basher and illegal alien enabler.

"....guilty"

[Blood of Tyrants]

She plead guilty to theft of over $10,000 in a plea bargain where she gets a 3 year suspended sentence and 3 years unsupervised probation and pays $11,000 in restitution. After probation she will get the conviction expunged.

[Blood of Tyrants]

So basically, yes, because she is a Dem, she gets away with it with a slap on the wrist. But her political aspirations are gone.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Hell, she was screwing her “bodyguard” while he was being paid $135,000 in overtime by the city.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I live near Nashville and her resignation comes as no surprise to most. Even the far left newspaper of record, the Tennessean, was calling for her resignation. It basically boiled down to her inability to be an effective mayor while this was hanging over her.
