REP. TIM MURPHY (R-PA): A HYPOCRITE WHO’S GETTING WHAT’S COMING TO HIM

The following excerpts from Ben Jacobs’ article for London’s Daily Guardian say it all:

Representative Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania will resign from Congress after claims that the anti-abortion Republican had urged a woman he was having an extramarital affair with to have an abortion.

In the aftermath of reports about the affair, as well as allegations of abusive conduct against members of his staff, Murphy had initially said that he would retire from Congress at the end of his term on Wednesday.

The married Republican congressman had admitted in September that he had been involved in an affair with another woman.

However, it was only when after the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on Tuesday that he had allegedly urged the woman to have an abortion when he believed she was pregnant, citing text messages, that Murphy’s personal conduct started to create political issues for fellow Republicans.

In addition to the affair, the Post-Gazette also reported on a memo that Murphy’s chief of staff had sent to the Congressman describing “ongoing and ever more pronounced pattern of sustained inappropriate behavior” from him.

Hypocrite.  Scumbag.

Good riddance.  And I hope the door does hit you in the ass on the way out.
