Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) on Sunday announced her resignation from Congress amid an ethics inquiry into allegations that she had an intimate relationship with a congressional staff member in her office.
“It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress,” Hill wrote in a statement. “This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country.”
Hill’s spokeswoman said that the resignation is not immediate and that Hill is still deciding on when she will leave office. Her announcement was first reported by Politico, which said that she planned to resign by the end of the week.
Last week, the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into allegations that Hill was romantically involved with her legislative director, Graham Kelly, a relationship that would violate House ethics rules.
Hill was seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, a 32-year-old lawmaker who flipped a Republican-held seat in a district northeast of Los Angeles.
Her departure came swiftly after allegations surfaced about a week ago in an article on the conservative website RedState.org. The article alleged that Hill and her husband were in a consensual three-person relationship with a woman on her campaign team. The article included text messages it said were between Hill and the woman as well as intimate photos of them together. Hill is openly bisexual.
The article also alleged that Hill was involved romantically with Kelly.
Under House ethics rules adopted last year in response to high-profile sexual harassment claims involving members of Congress, it is against the official code of conduct for members to “engage in a sexual relationship with any employee” who works for the member.

She’s the Whore of Babylon.

You don’t do that tatoo on a whim.
There may be pictures or video of her with others....
Don't be an idiot. If pictures of a naked politician engaging in explicit sex acts are publicly circulating, her career is over.
Katie: Your political career is “Over the Hill” and so are you. Don’t let the dildo hit your ass on the way out of your office.
Yeah.
I expected her to stay, and she still might.
After all, Elizabeth Warren was busted hiring a male prostitute in Houston recently. And there is the whole Ilhan Omar mess. This one was all just horny people screwing with no money involved.
Democrats seem to suddenly desire to pick and choose which among them get a pass on depravity.
I’m predicting that this ditz will reconsider and then loudly proclaim that if the other two are staying in office then she is too.
Expect the view to then talk about how she is “so brave” for screwing around.
She could be just staging this resignation to close out the news cycle. Now she’ll just stop talking about it and stay on the job. Everyone knows the media will never pursue her about her resignation. Anyway wouldn’t surprise me if it were all just some trick.

Love the kitbashed slogan!
Has nothing to do with her sexual appetites, it’s about the hiring practices and diddling staffers.
Congressional staffing should be looked at..why does some nobody from some silly district in no man’s land have so many staffers? Why are we paying for it? Think...they get fat government pensions and pay increases forever for only being there around 15 years.
“Bi” = “diversity” personified.
All the rest of the alphabet soup is too exclusive.
The good news: It’s not just the straight people who are boring nowadays.
Don’t be an idiot. Connect the words Democrat and sex. Comprehend that sex when done by Democrats in government is never wrong even if its Hillary and Haitian children who survived a bad hurricane. Don’t you understand that it all depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is?
Seriously, what ARE you thinking and how could you be so oblivious to the world around you that you got there.
What I’m thinking is that you don’t have to assume that children or animals are involved. Explicit pictures, group sex, drug paraphernalia, Nazi symbols. That’s enough to get somebody thrown out of Congress, even a Democrat. No need to start speculating about bestiality or pedophilia.
Yet with The Toon "it was just about sex." Congress critters are expendable; presidents are not.
I guess Californians can't say they weren't warned.
I hadn’t watched the video yet. I’ll have to, I guess.
It’s just hilarious that this stoner endorsed another stoner.
She hasn’t been thrown out yet.
And if she plays her hand instead of folding then they can’t get rid of her without tossing Omar and Warren.
She can go there if she chooses. Will the Democrats toss Omar and Warren to get rid of her?
She does get due process, and she can force that to be part of the equation.
All of the Democrats catbirds have come home to roost.
“Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is abnormal and unnatural.
Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these shameful horrors, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)
