Republican seeks 'forgiveness' after video shows him kissing aide

Republican seeks 'forgiveness' after video shows him kissing aide


By Catalina Camia 1 hour ago

A congressman with close ties to the Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame is asking for “forgiveness” after a video surfaced Monday purportedly showing him kissing a female aide.

Rep. Vance McAllister, R-La., issued a statement after The Ouchita Citizen posted a video of McAllister apparently “passionately embracing and kissing one of his congressional aides” two days before Christmas. The video was leaked to the news organization from an anonymous source.

“There’s no doubt I’ve fallen short and I’m asking for forgiveness,” McAllister, who is married with five children, said in his statement quoted by The News Star in Monroe, La.”I’m asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff and my constituents who elected me.”

The News Star reports the staffer was taken off the congressman’s payroll in the last 24 hours, according to McAllister chief of staff Adam Perry. The video apparently was taken by a surveillance camera at McAllister’s Monroe office.

McAllister was the surprise winner of a special election in November over a Republican who had institutional support from national and local GOP figures. He gained some notoriety in January when he invited Willie Robertson, CEO of the Duck Commander empire from the popular reality TV show, to be his guest for President Obama’s State of the Union Address. Robertson had cut an ad for McAllister during the campaign.

Take the "high moral ground" when running for election, and when you get caught breaking those moral values, in this case cheating on the wife, the beg like hell for forgiveness from family and of course the voters! I guess if the voters are to damned stupid to see through his BS, nothing will happen to him, but I hope this all comes back to haunt him come election time, especially his claim to have those "high moral values"!

for himself, of course, but none for the aide, whom he fired with no mercy, no regret, no hesitation, no thought at all. Her husband will probably treat her the same way.

Way to go, Vance, 'cause it's all about you, isn't it? you worthless piece of shit.

I asked God, and she said you're a worthless piece of shit, too.
