The Chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party has been calling Rep. Vance McAllister (R-La.) since Tuesday night to ask for his resignation, but has yet received no response.

A source close to the state party tells The Hill that Chairman Roger Villere has repeatedly tried contacting McAllister via phone and email, but the calls go straight to voicemail and the emails haven’t been returned.

Villere, the source said, was able to get McAllister’s chief of staff, Adam Terry, on the phone Tuesday night for a heated conversation about the congressman’s future, but that discussion hasn’t led to direct contact with McAllister.
A local newspaper earlier this week published video footage of the married congressman and father of five kissing a female staffer.

1. Now it makes sense that the dingdong dynasty gang endorsed this hypocrite.

2. Now that's a first. A Republican calling for another Republican's resignation

Must have strayed off the program. What did he do to piss off republicans, vote with Democrats or something?

3. Go after Diaper Vitter too

I'm sure he's still shitting diapers for money. Goo Goo Gag Gaga

4. Good. Let's see a scandal-plagued Repub lose his job, for a change. (nt)

5. I doubt that the people who bought his way into office would allow him to resign.

6. Worse than Vitter?

Some folks really have it in for this teabilly. I want the whole story, dammit!

7. Once a Teabagger is elected

they no longer represent their districts. They are bought and sold by out of State interests and they serve a different master.

8. Look for him on the security cameras, he loves photo ops.

10. If this were a democrat it would be a non-issue

But this republican campaigned on a platform of family values and the sanctity of traditional marriage. But apparently the concept of sanctity only applies to certain people. If it were a democrat there might be the issue of infidelity and betrayal, but you know what? We don't know what arrangements a man and wife may have. The wife may be fine with it but that is certainly a private arrangement and nobody else's business. McAllister campaigned on making those kinds of things his business, and the people who voted for him decided it was their business as well.

I'm eagerly waiting for the duck dynasty guy to make a statement.

11. Not for what he did, I am sure, but for getting caught
