Married Republican Rep. Van Taylor dropped his bid for reelection Wednesday after apologizing for having a nine-month affair with the so-called 'ISIS bride.' 'Today I am announcing I will not continue my campaign to seek reelection to Congres,' Taylor emailed supporters, according to The Dallas Morning News. 'About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world. I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life.'(Snip)Joya, born in London to a Muslim Bangladeshi family, became radicalized at age 17 after the September 11 terror attacks.
Voting for the Jan 6th Committee was the second biggest mistake of his life. He won’t be missed.

he is tooooo stoooopid to be in office,but the Trump endorsed loser lady that tried to blackmail/extort him into retiring?
Not fit either...if for no other reason that her TIMING is so bad,if you are going to convince a rival to remove themselves to save face from a scandal it HAS to be at least six months before the election, particularly in a small district primary where there are few votes to flip anyway.
Did her no good, only 13,000votes, aprox 25%

The affair ended last year but the side chick was “annoyed” at seeing his face on billboards. I wonder how “annoyed” his wife and daughters are finding out about this?

This article confirms my feelings about the Republican party. They have done a poor job of defining themselves and seem so desperate for membership that they will take anyone. Also, I am constantly reminded of people who are seated in these positions seem to have no accountability. They are to be serving the American people and this country and all they seem to do is serve themselves.

#6, you bring up an excellent point. It even seems like a significant factor for getting party approval to run for office is for a potential candidate to have skeletons in their closet that make them easy to blackmail. It would fit with the fact that so many reps mystify their supporters with support for things they campaigned against.

Luckily the 'ISIS bride' is the long jihadi in her family.
Otherwise there'd be an 'honor' event.

I disagree that it was of no concern to the Obama administration. His AG named Loretta threatened the NYPD with a lengthy DOJ investigation if they released the contents of that laptop of Weiner's. I think Obama was very concerned about that laptop.
If he was in cahoots with Pelosi's never Trump tricks, that is reason enough to boot the guy.

Wonder how many trips to epstein's island he made...and what blackmail did crooked hillary use to get him to stand down...this is how Washington establishment characters...including crooked hillary and soros operate...and if that doesn't work...they send in the FBI and cia and nsa and all the alphabet groups to smash and bully...I recall all the vitriol when Washington took down Hoover of the FBI ...he was a cross/dresser ...wonder if that would fly now...pardon the pun...

Come on Texas! How on earth did you miss this one?!
Even if he wasn't a terrible person....look at him.
I get why he was easy to seduce - he was very inexperienced with that concept.
How did this scrawny white liberal traitor get elected in Texas?

Hmmmm..... it seems to me that I have read of several similar 'incidents' over the years. Typically, if it involves a Democrat, the party affiliation is noted in small letters in Paragraph 13, if at all. If it is a Republican, it is stated in the Headline, as in this article.
Am I remembering correctly?

Hillary Clinton had a longterm "close friendship" with known Muslim Brotherhood insider Huma Abedin, and gave the latter access to classified State Department materials that were forwarded to a laptop she shared with her sham husband, the convicted pervert Anthony Weiner. None of that was of any concern to anyone who had power to do anything about it, including our previous president.
