U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner has joined the chorus of Missouri leaders calling on Gov. Eric Greitens to step down in the wake of a legislative report that details allegations of sexual and physical abuse.
Wagner, a Republican from the St. Louis area, said that she was disgusted and disheartened after reading the report.

We do not eat our own. Innocent until proven guilty I can see among the RATS. But if we want McKaskill’s seat we have to point out the Trump-like witch hunt going on. Don’t run away from a fight.
I think some folks simply pile on before all the clarifying “evidence” comes out. Sometimes it simply pays to wait for a bit before rendering judgement and pronouncing the sentence.
From what I can glean from other articles is that it was consensual sex albeit kinky. But still not good.

Oh aren’t we so special and pure. Miss Blow Job of the senior class of whenever.
Virtue-signaling pansy. Clutch the pearls. Was Andrew Jackson unfit to lead? JFK?
Simply the threat of an impeachment in Missouri could restrain Gov. Greitens and put the entire state in a bind.
The mistress was lovin it...until she became a useful tool for #TheResistance, and a local BLM Soros-funded prosecutor. She has NO PROOF whatsoever but her very late claims. FIGHT!
Last I heard the main crime of taking a picture and putting it on a computer, lacks any such picture or device...and the woman said under deposition that she may have dreamed it and wasn’t sure.
That’s one thing no one can ever take away from Democrats and the Left, they stand by their people, no matter what. Right up to when the cell door closes for the first time and then will carry on that they didn’t really mean to do what they did.
Republican’s on the other hand, will throw each other under the first bus, for a sneeze at an inopportune time.
I guess this Congresswoman hasn’t read the most recent statement where the woman isn’t sure if anything really happened, that she may have dreamed it all, can’t say that a picture was ever taken, there was no police report and she never filed any criminal complaint on the matter. That this is all ginned up by a Radical, Soros supported, under investigation DA. Guess none of that matters.
Who needs Democrats and the Left, when you have elected rep’s like this.
It was just sex. If its OK with Greitens’ wife what’s the beef?
Consensual sex is no one’s business and unlike Clinton, Greitens didn’t lie about it.
I just read your comment. I sure know how to leave myself wide open. But this behavior still isn’t helpful to the cause. I sure don’t want to criticize people with the positions of power cause you have no idea how you could handle it. The temptation is always there. Jesus said that the spirit is strong but the flesh is weak.
Personally, I think Greitens’ behavior is questionable and I don’t defend it.
Then again, I don’t expect politicians to be moral role models and they are the last people on earth to tell others how to lead their personal lives.
The voters can judge if Greitens is morally fit to be Governor. I don’t think that’s any of the business of legislators.
If they find he broke the laws, then by all means, oust him. But who he slept with is not something they should pass judgment on.
Maybe this Ann Wagner person is jealous... Maybe she's old and ugly and couldn't get laid even if she had a fist full of fifties.. :)
Is Wagner the successor to Todd Akin? She must be a very frightful person but probably not a closeted Democrat.
How do you prove guilt in this case, or any other case where a woman accuses a man of sexual or physical abuse? Or do you believe that the woman is always lying in every case?
Really working to get the women's vote, aren't you?
And what does her possession of a vagina have to do with this? The legal standard is "beyond reasonable doubt." The civil standard is "the preponderance of the evidence." A personal standard might be "if the allegations are plausible and with some evidence." I don't see the accuser's sex in any of those standards. Why does it matter if the accuser is a woman?
All of the above standards require some evidence. I wouldn't want to live in a world where you could face legal and professional consequences based on a simple accusation. What do you stand to gain from such a system?
