      Funny how none of these folks called it "revenge porn" when it happened to Joe Bartonhttps://www.texastribune.org/2017/11/22/us-rep-joe-barton-deciding-how-respond-after-graphic-photo-circulates-/ …

      OK, fair, some outlets did defend Barton. The commentators didn't, however, and it still cost him his career.https://twitter.com/Politics1com/status/1187760108966535169 …

      We've had multiple examples of pig-piled sex scandals on Republicans over the years in which it was seen as perfectly OK to expose what the Republican did. (As it should be!). Remember Jack Ryan, for example?

      The argument being made now is that Hill should be entitled to unring the bell of the whole story by blaming the source. No Republican is granted that.

      That scene was the undoing not only of one man's career but, indirectly, of the entire U.S. health care industry. When Jack Ryan removed himself from the race, Barack Obama was elected a Senator from Illinois and immediately started preparing for the presidency. #BehavePrudently https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1187761856393424896 …

      Katie Hill should resign from Congress, and all the handwaving BS about "revenge porn" is a PR-driven smokescreen. N.B. Yes I think Trump is an egregious sexual harasser who shouldn't be President and always have, so please do not think you're clever by bringing him up to me.

      We've been through the sex-scandal news cycle many times over the past 30+ years, with people on both sides of the aisle. It never ceases to appall me how easily folks on the left side raise broad-brush arguments they ignore when the shoe's on the other foot.

      Me, I think we should apply the same standard to both sides. That's what makes it a standard.

          So, you agree that this should be investigated by the Capitol police, like Joe Barton's situation was?https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-barton-nude-selfie-revenge-porn-investigation-police-a8074961.html …

          Here is the standard. You should not have to resign if whatever it is you did was consensual. If it is against House rules, the House can sanction you. If it is against the law, the law can deal with you. But if it is a social problem, that's up to society.
