Rep. Joe Barton, who apologized Wednesday for a lewd photo of him that circulated on the Internet, told a woman to whom he had sent sexually explicit photos, videos and messages that he would report her to the Capitol Police if she exposed his behavior, according to a recording reviewed by The Washington Post.
The woman spoke to The Post after the lewd photo was published Tuesday by an anonymous Twitter account. She shared a secretly recorded phone conversation she had with Barton in 2015 in which he warned her against using the explicit materials “in a way that would negatively affect my career.”
Besides the recording of the phone call, the woman shared text and social-media messages she exchanged with Barton, as well as a 53-second cellphone video Barton recorded of himself while masturbating. The conspiracy theory website InfoWars obtained a copy of the video and published it Wednesday night, though the video appeared to have been removed from the site several hours later.
The lewd Twitter photo that Barton acknowledged on Wednesday appears to have been captured from that video. The woman said she did not post the image herself. She shared phone numbers for Barton that match his personal and government-issued cellphones. Barton was not abusive or coercive in his interactions, the woman said, but said she felt he was “manipulative and dishonest and misleading” in his dealings with her and other women.

Sounds like he tried to discourage her from using the pictures for blackmail or extortion.
Sounds like it did not work.
Most women where? Okay, you got me at fat, but my clothes are not tight. LOL
Ick
You think we should ignore it because he’s a repub?
Seriously you two? Are you out of the dark ages? What a terrible idea of women you hold. It’s offensive. I have to make myself scarce and probably unattractive or you as men, collectively, cannot control your sexual impulses?! I have to be barefoot and pregnant with no opportunity to decide whether to even become a mother or to have a career? My gosh!
Absolutely NOT! I wrote, “Pack up your kit and leave, Joe.” At what point did I say he should be ignored? I also said the MSM would give his behavior more airtime than they do the dems. I never said they shouldn’t report it.
laf -— Reminds me of that line in the Old Patsy Cline story movie with Tuesday Weld. She referred to male and female parts as uglies (spelling?).
What the hell is wrong with these perverts...good grief..
sorry Jim, Sanford and Son don’t want your “junk”.
Try Little Anthony Weiner’s junk shop.
“Am I the only person NOT sending pictures of my junk to people?”
I got a hunch that you may no longer be feeling so all alone from now on.
So, if she found a way to use the explicit materials in a way that would positively affect his career, he'd be okay with that.
If you think about it is really kind of funny. Some people think saying a woman is fat discredits her. Notice how that was lumped in with ‘nasty’, etc? That almost reminds me of those feminazis trying to use the ‘nasty’ wording as a form of intimidation. Insults being thrown by adults are rampant these days.
Oddly, The other day I saw a woman flip the bird and cuss at a driver who was motioning for her to try to get across the street faster. She appeared very unconcerned with her surroundings purposely. Not what I am used to seeing around here. I have noticed considerably less ‘manners’ amongst the masses more and more. FR is no exception these days. I am hoping it is just psyops of plants trying to discourage us. Hopefully it won’t work!
I have seen passive aggressive people begging to get mowed down as they slow walk across a road when they don’t have the signal. And I’m talking about people w/attitude, not disability.
And people crossing with earbuds in without looking either way at all.
As far as I’m concerned, they can pick up their Darwin Awards at any time.
This girl and her equally uncaring friend was all attitude. It didn’t appear to have anything to do with disability. Even if so and an ‘unseen’ disability of any kind, these women were no ladies to put it kindly. If they were staggering I would say drunk and loud. But instead they were just loud and crude to say the least. They appeared to be seeking a physical confrontation in the worst way.
“I have to be barefoot and pregnant”
As God intended ;) The rest is just feminist bovine scat. Weirdest thing to watch women at war with their own nature.
What a toad. I’d have guessed his preference was little boys.
HE threatened to report HER? I think he’s confused.
“There was a day when the workplace was productive and for the most part one gender. Women stayed at home with children. Shoot me but it worked.”
You’re right. The old way was the best.
long time ago,
this guy was my congressman.
then districts moved.
not surprising
