Rep. Katie Hill, under investigation for allegedly having a relationship with one of her congressional staffers, releases an emotional video explaining why she decided to abruptly resign from Congress.
Rep. Katie Hill, the California Democrat being investigated for having an alleged sexual relationship with one of her congressional staffers, released an emotional video on Monday explaining why she decided to abruptly resign from Congress.
In her video, Hill blames right-wing media, Republican opponents, and her husband – whom she is in the process of divorcing – for politicizing and publishing nude photos of her, along with photos that purport to show her using drugs. While Hill says she never claimed to be perfect, she said she never thought her"imperfections would be weaponized."
Hill was a leader of the Democratic freshman class, and one of the first openly bisexual members of Congress. Hill vows that she will not let her own experience scare off other women and girls from running for office, and that she will get"right back up in the saddle" from the horse that threw her.
