Rep. Vance McAllister, caught on video in deep kisses with his Capitol Hill staffer, has asked for forgiveness from his wife, from his staff and constituents and from God.
Mr. McAllister’s local Louisiana newspaper published what it said was surveillance video of the Republican making out with one of his female workers.
“There’s no doubt I’ve fallen short, and I’m asking for forgiveness. I’m asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff and my constituents who elected me to serve,” he said, CNN reported. “Trust is something I know has to be earned whether [you’re] a husband, a father or a congressman. I promise to do everything I can to earn back the trust of everyone I’ve disappointed.”
Mr. McAllister, who’s married with five children, also said he’s always tried to be “an honest man,” CNN reported.
“I ran for [C]ongress to make a difference and not to just be another politician,” he said. “I don’t want to make a political statement on this. I would just simply like to say that I’m very sorry for what I’ve done.”
The woman captured in the video — which the local Ouachita Citizen newspaper reported was shot in December — is also married, the news outlet said.” End
I don’t want to hear any of his cry-babie whining at this point I just want this loser gone.

There’s something almost wholesome about the fact that it was just a kiss caught on camera, and not a selfie of his genitalia on Twitter.
You have a good point there Chris.
Dumb, dumb, dumb-m-dum-dum-be-do-be-do…
Wonder how many more like this we have to go through before November?
We tend to hold those who profess strong morals to a higher standard than those that don’t and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This guy needs to go…like yesterday.
PS, the guys a politician…what do you expect???
Because government is the monopoly on the use of force, because we peons must obey every law, ordinance, regulation, tax, dictate, proclamation and every word out of every politicians mouth politics is bound to attract the most power hungry and egomaniacal people so what else can you expect from these people?
There’s something inherently dangerous about becoming a federal or state politician because of the opportunity to do wrong. It’s seductive and only the strongest and most moral characters should apply for the job.
