Remember this one was gonna finish out his term after WE paid his $84K to pay off sexual harassed victims. I hope WE Dems have a candidate to field.


Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) announced Friday that he is resigning from Congress immediately after facing a backlash over using $84,000 in taxpayer funds to settle a sexual harassment claim.

“While I planned on serving out the remainder of my term in Congress, I know in my heart it’s time for me to move along and look for new ways to serve," Farenthold said in a statement.

The abrupt resignation is effective as of 5 p.m. on Friday, according to his office. His official congressional Twitter account appeared to have been deleted as of that time.
