AP: "A former aide to Republican Rep. Trent Franks has told The Associated Press the congressman repeatedly pressed her to carry his child, at one point offering her $5 million to act as a surrogate."

Politico: "Arizona Rep. Trent Franks allegedly made unwanted advances toward female staffers in his office and retaliated against one who rebuffed him, according to House GOP sources with knowledge of a complaint against him." "...aides were concerned that Franks was asking to have sexual relations with them" and "A former staffer also alleged that Franks tried to persuade a female aide that they were in love."

No wonder Ryan walked him out the door. Wonder what his wife thinks of how he went about his? Especially noting his earlier explanation about knowing how these things worked and thought it was all okay for these discussions.

A damned congressman who has $5,000,000 to buy some action shows they’re all thieves. And damned stupid, too. Buy a kid from Mexico and buy a Mexican hooker and save $4,990,000.

I can only assume he looked in the mirror and figured it would take at least $5,000,000 to get a woman to have sex with him so he tried to get her to throw in a baby.

Yeah, I figured he wanted to make her a surrogate mother for his kids the “natural way”

If he has that much money he could obviously afford the adoption process if he was that desperate to have another child.

Nuts.

If I were a woman, I’d do it for $5M.

I’m calling BS on this. Franks has twins now, from artificial insemination. That’s is exactly how he wanted it done. He was wrong for for even talking to these liberal women, Ryan has wanted to get rid of him for years and I think Franks was set up. Franks is a devout Christian. He’s been a pain in Ryan’s side for years. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Ryan and McConnell need to go, not conservatves like Franks.

$5 million.

I’ve seen desperation before, but this is ridiculous.
Dude is hard-up.

If I may address the resigning Congressman:
Take a month or so off for yourself, go somewhere nice and relaxing, say...Thailand, Amsterdam, Brazil, just anywhere you can get that Horn-Monkey off your back.

His wife was ill and could not have children. So he asked, if someone would be willing to be a surrogate — he wasn’t forcing anything on anyone.

Many people are willing to be surrogates for money.

He also did not fire anyone for turning down the offer.
