2nd alleged mistress: I smoked pot with Republican Rep. DesJarlais

A second woman who claims she had an affair with tea party-backed Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) while under his medical care says that their relationship included illicit drug use.

Earlier this month, The Huffington Post reported that DesJarlais had an affair with a patient that resulted in the “pro-life” Republican pressuring the unidentified woman to get an abortion in September 2000.

In an interview published by the Chattanooga Times Free Press on Sunday, a second patient also claimed that she had a sexual relationship with the former physician.

The woman said that DesJarlais prescribed pain medication and smoked marijuana with her during dates at his home in 2000.
