Good riddance scumbag
Haven’t been reading past the headlines on him until now.
“Barton publicly apologized for what he described as consensual sexual relationships with multiple women while separated from his former wife. That marriage — Barton’s second — ended in 2015.”
If this was true, why would he apologize?
Extramarital? He was out and going through a divorce. No reconciling in the cards because his wife had cheated on him.
He got together with this harpie who released their private stuff when she didn’t become the next “Mrs. Congressman”.
He was a blithering idiot, and i’m glad to see him go. Texas can do much better. But that said.... it wasnt extramarital and she was simply a vindictive bit@h.
Good!
Hey liberals- watch how we Republicans treat another Republican when caught:
“FIRE HIS ASS”
You see? We won’t defend him because he is on our side. We are embarrassed that he is on our side. We want him gone.
Pelosi-Conyers-Clinton-Franken-Kennedy-Warren ARE being re-elected, or ARE in re-election apology/fired/demoted mode of near-endless press releases.
This will help prevent the 2004-2006 Congressional election scheme where Pelosi came into power by nibbling away at one, then two, then three, then four republican scandals and making it grow into an entire "throw them all out!" campaign.
Isn’t this guy a repub?

A picture is worth a thousand words....sometimes a career.
Good! He wouldn’t have won anyway.
Must be more dirt out there.
Pervert freak. Run as a DIM.
Joe Barton attempted to act in a responsible manner in the production of the pornographic pictures he took of himself, but his former intimate partner violated her trust and the law by publishing Barton’s self produced porn.
Rep. Barton is a crime victim.
He chooses re-erection over re-election.
He looked like the Pilsbury Doughboy,
but spoke like “The most interesting Texan in the world”.
He expresses himself very well, and would make an interesting character in a movie, but had become too careless, too unprofessional to stay in his elected position.
Isn’t this Rove country? They’ll just hand pick another RINO.
All of this is going to keep increasing the pressure on the President. Several women made charges against him (as a private citizen) but this thing has spiraled out of control. His accusers will come back big time to try to force him out.
Barton did something very stupid, not illegal or violating any rules of the House. He was going through a divorce. Those on our side still believe in feeling ashamed if we do something bad or wrong. The Dems have no such sense of shame. Barton leaving is the right thing to do.
Term limits is what we need...
Rep. Joe Barton: I will not seek re-erection
