Democrat Rep. Steven Horsford’s Ex-Wife Says He Asked Her to Sign NDA ‘After 10-Year Affair’

Nevada Democrat Rep. Steven Horsford’s ex-wife took to Twitter on Sunday and accused the two-term congressman of threatening to keep her quiet with a non-disclosure agreement that would prevent her from talking about his “10-year affair.”

“I was just minding my business until Steven and his attorney demanded I sign an NDA that would ban me from speaking about my 22-year marriage, his 10-year affair, and our divorce FOREVER,” Horsford’s ex-wife Sonya Douglass tweeted. “It includes $10,000 fines for each remark or social post. Even to a therapist! Y’all!”

Douglass’s tweets come two years after Horsford acknowledged a “long-standing affair” with Gabriela Linder, a former congressional intern for former Sen. Harry Reid (D-NY) who is 15 years Horsford’s junior.

Linder detailed her relationship with Horsford in a podcast series and shared screenshots of their conversations to Twitter.

Horsford, who has three children, described himself as a “devoted family man” on his 2020 campaign’s website.

“It is true that I had a previous relationship outside of my marriage, over the course of several years,” Horsford said in a statement released from his congressional office. “I’m deeply sorry to all of those who have been impacted by this very poor decision, most importantly my wife and family. Out of concern for my family during this challenging time, I ask that our privacy is respected.”

Douglass claimed she did not plan to speak publicly about the affair but noted that she does not “respond well to bullying or intimidating.”

So Nevada Democrat Rep. Steven Horsford’s affair was with woman. That won’t get him points with his LGBTQPN+ constituents.

But, why did his wife stay with him for so long after she knew???

$$$$$$$$$$$....and I'm not talking about a mere congressional salary. There are many fringe benefits to being in the "Halls of Power"

“Busted”? Hardly.

Stories like this which are potentially adverse to a liberal Democrat somehow always ONLY appear in marginal media and preaching-to-the-choir websites, while the liberal media judiciously avoids the story entirely in order not to risk harming their candidate’s re-election chances (which in this case are about 80%).

Obviously if this horny homeboy was a Republican, the “mainstream” media tribe would be all over it non-stop for the next week in an attempt to ensure his defeat to a righteous and moral Democrat.

What was in it for her to sign an NDA. Usually it will be cash. Or in my case, a business relationship where my customers protect their intellectual property. It sounds like this punk lying democrat just wanted to intimidate her without paying her a dime for her silence.
