        Yeah...and while Rep. Blake Farenthold is writing that check, could he also write out his resignation? #FarentholdResign

        Paying it back immediately is admirable but not enough. You should not have taken it in the first place. Step down now! You and others that have used tax payers money for your transgressions is PATHETIC. No credibility forever.

        I’m guessing if I used my employers money to pay my debts and I got caught at it I wouldn’t get out of trouble by simply paying back the money. Probably be looking at loss of employment and some prison time.

        That’s totally not the point. It should be required he pay it back, because it wasn’t his money. It was theft!

        Great thanks. As soon as you are kicked out of office. Rep or Dem don’t matter. I hate all lying scandalous politicians equally. Good riddance
