Texas Congressman Joe Barton released a statement Wednesday apologizing for a graphic nude photo of him that circulated on social media earlier this week. He announced his re-election bid earlier this month.
U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, released a statement on Wednesday apologizing for a graphic nude photo of him that circulated on social media earlier this week.
"While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women," he said. "Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down."
Barton, who announced his re-election bid earlier this month, is navigating in a political environment charged with emerging stories of sexual misbehavior in politics, in business, and in the media. The photo, which appeared on an anonymous Twitter account, set off speculation within Texas GOP circles about his political future.
In a phone interview with The Texas Tribune on Tuesday, Barton said he was deliberating that.

“TMZ has the picture up”
TMZ refers to them as JUNK PICS. Guess that mean pictures of his junk.
“No wonder I can’t catch a good woman. I am too much of a prude.”
Don’t get the idea that these women are good.
Washington D.C. is a pagan cesspool. Bring our representatives home and work electronically. No need to wallow in the lobbyist wealth. And as an aside, wrap it up Joe, you’re done! (I thought putting a fork in it was too violent). Term limits, anyone?
Boom.....
Makes you wonder if those little blue pills are causing the downfall of the republic.
Barton “is not resigning,” Dodd says

It will be interesting to see if anyone now files to run against him the
GOP Primary March 6, 2018. There appears to be several democrats
that are potential candidates in their primary.

It was BREITBART who leaked it to the press - what’s so difficult to understand? (Personally, I’m glad he did it and glad THIS creep gets what he deserves.)
Now go away.
Don’t be so sure of that. The reason we have so many despicable congress critters is that the voters put them in office.
Congress is a reflection of those who voted for them. Unless, we as a people, practice a higher morality we can expect things to remain as they are.
Congress is nothing more than a grab sample (no pun intended) of the overall US population.
What’s really sad in this mess is that Joe Barton has a little boy by his second wife. Very, very sad for him. What Barton did was beyond stupid but did she really need to ruin his life? His little boy will have to be home-schooled after this one.
Good point.
Congressvermin are much worse than average voters. They hide most of the crap they pull, whether sexual perversion, illegal or dirty money dealings, or whatever else they do.
If they did all that stuff openly and voters knew about it, Congress would be quite different.
Evidently, not only can you not keep “it” in your pants, you are also unable to keep from taking selfies of “it,” and emailing or texting same to all the women you want to impress (as though we’ve never, ever seen “one” before!)
YUK!
The Word of God says that having sexual relations with someone while married is still adultery and having sexual relations outside of marriage is still fornication.
And if that weren’t bad enough, he’s naked and masturbating for the world to see.
This old coot is an utter disgrace and should be thrown out of office, he is a perfect example of someone who should step down.
Examining the 2016 Presidential returns from Texas 6th district, it appears that it went overwhelmingly for Trump. Some of the counties that made up the district as high as +80%.
FR is become a huge resource for women-hating men. A man sends an awful photo of himself and all you have to say about it is something about women “on their knees.” Some of you guys need a shrink.
NP: yesterday, guys here were talking about women’s “snatches”. I kid you not. Mods still doing nothing.
Well said!
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I saw this coming quite a while ago. I think it’s going to get worse.
I demand the water in the capitol be tested immediately.
Politicians reflect the ppl. Imagine somebody moral and upright who publicly spoke out about all the sins of the ten commandments. He’d be labeled as a freak. 95% of ppl who wed are not a virgin. Debauchery is everywhere. Recall to yourself what men say to themselves when women are not around. It’s the culture we are in. The choices are all bad. If anyone is moral he is castigated for it.
