Freshman Rep. Katie Hill resigned Thursday in the wake of multiple controversies, including engaging in at least one sexual relationship with a campaign staff member.
Conservative website Red State published intimate photos of the California Democrat on Oct. 18 after they were leaked to the site, sparking a debate about inappropriate relationships and “revenge porn.”
Hill should not have engaged in a relationship with a subordinate while holding public office, and thus should shoulder the blame for that choice. Nonetheless, there’s little the public can do about her personal choices other than to call for her resignation.
There may be more at stake in the other unsettling aspect of this viral story—the publication of her personal nude photos, supposedly leaked by her estranged husband. (He is now claiming he was hacked.)
Hill’s case is complicated. Thanks to the publication of these photos, it’s unclear if the revenge porn or the sex with a subordinate was the main reason she had to resign.
The left has largely ignored Hill’s problematic relationship with a subordinate—despite liberals’ normal assumption that any such action violates standards in the #MeToo era.
But conservatives in turn should not overlook the revenge porn issue.
Many on the left are pointing out that leaking intimate personal photos, in the form of revenge porn, is a crime.
It’s a crime rarely punished, and one that only seems to affect women, especially in an age where everyone has a smartphone and taking “selfies” is the norm.
In her resignation speech Thursday, Hill said she thinks that wouldn’t have happened to a man.

The pictures were already out and Hill had participated in their dissemination. A couple of years ago, SHE and her husband had posted them on a site called ‘Would You F*** My Wife’. I read that from the main newspaper iN her District. NOW she’s crying about revenge porn, but it is her own fault.
It took a couple of hard lessons for me to learn that bumping uglies with a co-worker generally doesn’t end well, but back in those days, nobody tried to play the victim card over it. It was considered a private matter. Now, thanks to Libthink and social media, everyone’s the injured party, and everyone’s dirty laundry gets aired out on the Internet.
Don’t film yourself having sex either. My memories of good sex are much better than any film. Because in my memories, I can’t see me.
I’m somewhat surprised she wasn’t hot tailing it down there.
Conservative white men do not have the power to remove a Democrat from office regardless if they are male, female or multi-gendered, even if caught on camera doing something stupid.
Only other Democrats have that power.
We have seen how they have circled the wagons for some while later tossing others under the bus.
Pelosi had the power to save her but she decided not to. Let us see who replaces her, it may give us a better idea of the behind the scene manipulation.
