The politician who kissed the staffer fired the staffer. The politician did not fire himself.

The woman, of course, was fired.

.................

Vance McAllister (R-LA) is the freshman Rep caught in that grainy surveillance camera video smooching a member of his staff. According to an interview in the local paper, McAllister says he plans to run for reelection this November “unless there is an outcry for me not to serve, and so far there has been an outpouring of support, not for my actions, but for me to continue to represent the people."


But this part caught my attention ...

The video, which came from a surveillance camera at the congressman’s Monroe district office, shows McAllister in an embrace and passionate kiss with one of his staff.

The former staffer who McAllister is with in the video is Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock, 33, of Sterlington.

Adam Terry, McAllister’s chief of staff, said Peacock was taken off of the payroll during the past 24 hours.

This bible-banger has five kids with the wife he cheated on, and his staffer is married. If he were asked about the same situation on the campaign trail, I’m sure he’d recommend that anyone engaging in such behavior should have their food stamps and Medicaid cut off without recourse, and that the cheater and his harlot descend to their knees and wail to the heavens in vain hope of forgiveness from the one true God and his only son. Instead, he says that he will run again “unless there is an outcry for me not to serve”. He also claims that this is “absolutely” the first time he’s cheated. My guess is that it ain’t but I’m a faithless atheist, so my opinion is of far less value that a God-fearing upright church-going Christian like McAllister
