Congressman Thought He Had a Secret Illegitimate Daughter, But He Doesn’t
New York Magazine ^ | Joe Coscarelli

Posted on 07/18/2013 11:13:01 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The personal life of Tennessee House Democrat Steve Cohen has been a bizarre mix of Days of Our Lives and Catfish lately: When he was caught tweeting during the State of the Union address to young aspiring swimsuit model Victoria Brink, he was forced to admit that she was his long-lost daughter. He deduced as much when, as he explained, he "Googled her mother, found out she had a child, and the math looked pretty accurate," despite another man believing all along that he was Brink's father. This morning, nearly six months after Cohen went public with his unscientific revelation, CNN pulled a Maury and issued a paternity test.

Victoria Brink, it turns out, has a 0 percent chance of being Representative Cohen's daughter.

"I was stunned and dismayed at the results," said Cohen. "I still love Victoria, hold dear the time I have shared with her and hope to continue to be part of her life."

Asked what she learned from the ordeal, Brink said, "Maybe do a DNA test first?"

That thought was implanted in his brain during his alien abduction.

Or could he have made the whole thing up to over an affair he was having with her?

Why do Democrats always want to become the “Father of our country” ?

Since the revelation that he is unsure how many children he has out there, or where, or to whom, is SOOOOOOO much better! /sarc

That’s what happens when you go about poking your pecker into so many random orifices that you can’t keep track . . .

You can see ribs on her left side. Granted it is hard to see because of all the silicone.
