In a statement, McAllister apologized for conduct he called a "personal failure," and said he spent the Easter congressional recess reconciling with his family.

That is only true if REPUBLICANS do it. Dems like Bill Clinton are given a free pass...

Nah...that’s a VERY safe Republican district. We just have to make sure a true constitutional conservative gets it and not a RINO the GOPe selects.

300+ million Americans. There’s gotta be someone better than this confused person.

Go home Rep. Vance McAllister. Appreciate the important things in YOUR life. You ARE NOT representative enough to represent the important things in OUR LIVES.

However digusting. He did the right thing by resigning. I gotta give him kudos for that. Unlike some Demonrats who would have hung on for decades.

Except he hasn’t resigned yet. Thus far he’s just not seeking reelection. If he finishes out his term, he’ll be in Congress until next January.
Today, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor called for him to resign.

The pressure is building (as it usually does) for him to resign.

That would be expected and if it remains relentless then he’ll probably resign to get
his family some peace. I’m surprised he would put them through the media exposure.
