Trent Franks, a tea partier and religious zealot is said to be resigning today over emerging sexual assault allegations. Franks was a front runner in the Bannon slate to replace Jeff Flake. Good riddance with this one, though we will have to see who replaces him.
One has to wonder just how far this is going to go. Powerful men have taken advantage of women since time eternal and now it has suddenly become a career killer. There are many skeletons in many closets.
CNN and Wapo are reported to be investigating cases of 38 congressmen accused of sexual harassment. Expect the start of 2018 to be full of scandals.
No one is smearing him except to say he is a tea partier and religious zealot - which he is. We will see if the reports are true or not. The linked article made it sound like his behavior, whatever it was, was an open secret in DC. Maybe that is a smear.
Report: GOP Rep. Trent Franks to Resign, Possibly Over ‘Inappropriate Behavior’
Then in the report : the Republican source said.
The old unnamed source.
Right !!! The smear is only a maybe.
Its OK he looks like a pervert doesn't he ? Probably is based on the report.
You can bet with Franken and Franks (lol...) resigning plus 38 others being investigated, pressure will mount on Blake Farenthold (R-TX) to resign, too. He used taxpayer money to settle his incident.

Yeah whats the delay with that scumbag resigning ?
I am quite curious to know what Franks is said to have done that would make him or the AZ GOP think he could not win re-election. His district is the retirement areas of Sun City.

Heard the same. Could be quite a few empty seats in congress soon.
At least this one sounds like he's stepping down immediately, so my guess is it's homosexual activities. The GOP seems fine with men who grope women and little girls.
