Another closeted gay Pubbie. That’s got to be a profile the GOP finds really useful to promote and control. Apparently he wasn’t bending enough for them when they started to expose him with the staffer investigation and he decided to fight back by going public with their efforts to get more explicit blackmail material on him. Now they are continuing to escalate their takedown of him.
True story: A book by an intelligence offer I read years ago said in the cold war the CIA was getting tired of agents being blackmailed by foreign powers because of their sex life, so the CIA actually financed the campaign in western society to make it no longer shameful to have sexual kinks so they would not have to worry about their agents being blackmailed because they were gay or whatever.
