Katie Hill: 'Biphobia' led to resignation from Congress
The Hill ^ | 02 20 2020 | Kaelan Deese

Former Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) spoke with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Thursday about biphobic rhetoric playing a part in her resignation.

Stephanopoulos asked Hill on ABC's "Good Morning America" if she regrets not fighting for her position, with Hill affirming that she "made the right call" stepping down from office.

"I did not want to be a liability to my colleagues," she said. "We knew from the people who had obtained the [explicit] photos that there were hundreds more images and text messages out there that I had no idea what they could be, or taken out of context."

The California lawmaker denied the allegation, but admitted she engaged in a relationship with a campaign staffer before being elected to Congress, calling it "inappropriate."

In her interview on Thursday, Hill maintained that the reaction was "sensationalizing" and "biphobic."

"The bisexuality is a huge part of it – there's a fantasy element of it," Hill said. "There's biphobia that is rampant still, and certainly a misunderstanding of what bisexuality is."

She’s a shank and didn’t have the sense not to get photographed while engaged in skankery, and somehow that’s not her fault. Her whining about it probably says as much about her character as her skankery does. There are already enough dimwitted and conscienceless people in politics, so her exit is one step in the right direction. Let’s get “phobic” about some others.

We need to stop letting the left get away with making up words.

Wouldn’t matter. Her body was nothing to write your congressman about.

"Any opposition or disagreement is now labeled as “____phobic”."

Wow! Guess that means that Freeperphobia runs rampant here on FR...
