The three-term congressman has denied the affair and previously said on social media that he is being blackmailed and called the allegations a political smear. But he has not addressed newly released text messages in which he appeared to ask the former staffer for intimate photos and discuss sex acts.

The article also says that the staffer died by suicide.

The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is a pedophile. He raped kids. The bar is buried below the floor. While I'd like my politicians to be held to a better standard, what reason does this guy have to actually resign?

Not surprised it's a Republican.

Santos-Aviles, a married mother of an eight-year-old son, died in September after setting herself on fire in the back yard of her home in Uvalde, Texas. Her death was later ruled a suicide.

Holy fuck

And notably, the article title doesn’t mention the party of someone doing something utterly vile. Always Republican when that happens.

Yeah he's just seen the writing on the wall.

There isn't consequence. Why act like there is.

Something something Al franken

As far as we know, none of the children raped or molested by Trump have committed suicide

Though there are some murder allegations.

I'd be cautious about assuming this finding is correct, as well.

setting herself on fire . . . later ruled a suicide

Self immolation isn't typically a method women use, I wonder if Tony has an alibi.
