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.

I didn't think we'd have to have the same conversation with our parents.
Seems HillBill and Barry Soetoro are dumping their FBI files to damage everyone else
Some people just can’t help themselves...
“What in the hell is going on with everyone??”
I will bet that 99% of the sexual perverts - both male and female (hard to believe none of them are culpable) - have overtly turned their back on God.
Without the modifying influence of the Holy Ghost, anything can happen without guilt or remorse.
For those who follow a Holy God and call themselves Christian, seems like Isaiah 3:12 is a good verse to your point.
“O My people! Children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Your leaders lead you astray And confuse (destroy, swallow up) the direction of your paths.”
The good people of Ennis and the rest of his district will not vote for him again.
There isn’t much evidence that having women in politics is any wiser. Look how long it takes Collins and Murkowski to decide whether or not they support the tax bill. Look at Hillary trying to destroy the country because she lost an election. There is plenty of evidence that the country is worse off because of many of these female politicians. Not that many of the men are great these days but...still
You may have the post of the subject (since there are multiple threads on this).
“The photo somehow just appeared on TMZ”
Good warning to all out there that send this stuff to a GF BF spouse etc thinking thats the final and only destination.
Once you hit “SEND” thats it its in the public domain.
Parents teach your kiddies it could screw up lots for them years from the “SEND” date
I have never sent a text message in my life. How do you send a nude text message? Never mind.....somethings I don’t need to know.
I just spoke the truth. He did something he shouldn’t have done. A woman he trusted had the evidence and made sure it got on TMZ when it was to her benefit.
And that my friends is exactly why women are not allowed in the mafia.
I think I can defend every word of that Sparky
SMH in agreement with you.
We’re living in the last days, just like Lot.
2 Timothy 3:1-7
Another “mistake”.
Geez Louise, a mistake is when you forget to pick up bread on the way home from work...
That was a cruel thing to do to me.
I had resisted going to TMZ because I know better, but your comment got me curious
I knew I know better and I was right.
No wonder I can’t catch a good woman. I am too much of a prude.
I’m with you you on that. That is one highly traumatizing picture and I cannot see how he ever believed it might turn a woman on. This goes right to his sanity and judgement... almost into the zone of a desperate cry for help
The worst among us are leading the US to ruin. What a loser.
Seems to me it was Steven Bannon who leaked the Weiner photos. A man, dear.
Drugs. Or aliens. Or the earth is moving closer to the sun. Zeta waves coming from the cell phones.
Actually, I think that last one has potential.
I retired from Bell and dont have a phone. I send my nudies in the 1st digi format Morse.
