What I am about to write is NOT a defense of this GOP moron. It is only about setting the record straight. This disgusting revelation should not be considered a part of the on-going revelations detailing the many sex scandals; the GOP has one such scandal to deal with, Roy Moore, and the Dems have two current representatives and dozens of Democrats outside of congress, to deal with. After reading the Barton storyline, below, you should know that, like Weiner, Barton did send nude photos of himself, but, unlike Weiner, Barton was unmarried at the time, and the photos were sent to a woman (more than one?) he was currently sleeping with . . . . . . a mature, adult woman, not an under age minor, as was the Weiner circumstance. Again, Weiner was a married man, and could not stop, his last offense was to send photos while in bed with his own child. So, the stories are not parallel at all. Weiner's "poor decision" was criminal, and Barton's poor decision was simply a poor decision. More than a million such photos are traded each and every day. Such is part of the indictment on our societies moral compass. Barton is part of that problem, but not a part of the "men abusing women" scandal.
Fox News: Texas Republican Rep. Joe Barton apologized Wednesday
after a nude photo and lewd text message supposedly from him surfaced on
social media this week.
“While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had
sexual relationships with other mature adult women,” Barton said in a
statement. “Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended.”
Barton, 68, added, “I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down.”
An anonymous account on Twitter earlier this week posted a censored
photo of a nude man and suggested it was Barton. The account also
tweeted a screenshot of a text message from “Joe B” using strongly
sexual language.
