Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) Expected To Resign From Congress

[g5000]

The Arizona governor will have to replace Franks.

He might have to replace McCain at some point, too.

Joe Arpaio is probably walking around with priapism right now.

Franks is a Rep., not a senator.

Gov. can't appoint. Needs to be a special election.

Arpaio is probably moving to the 8th district as we speak.

That's a deep red district. The GOP could run a child molester there and still win.

I hope it isn't illness, his or his family's.

With them consoling him, makes me think it could be.
I hope not.

In the House I believe only a special election can fill the seat.

 

[Papageorgio]

Interesting story, wonder what is really going on.

Franks is a social conservative known for co-sponsoring anti-abortion legislation.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) is expected to resign from Congress, Roll Call and Politico reported Thursday.

Franks told Roll Call he would make an announcement later Thursday, but did not elaborate on what it would entail.

“The statement will explain,” he said.

Franks huddled with colleagues on the House floor late Thursday afternoon. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) had his arm wrapped around Franks, appearing to be consoling him.

According to Roll Call, rumors of inappropriate behavior circulated before Franks’ announcement.

The eight-term congressman is a social conservative and one of the most aggressive anti-abortion legislators in Congress. He has led the charge, year after year, to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy nationwide and to limit abortion in the District of Columbia. Residents of D.C. protested his efforts in 2012 by lining up outside the Arizona congressman’s office with plastic rats and photos of pot holes, suggesting that he try to fix more pressing problems in the city than women having abortions.
Franks also caused an uproar in 2013 when he claimed during an abortion debate that the “incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low,” defending his bill’s lack of an exception for rape and incest victims.

The congressman is notorious for comparing abortion to slavery and the Holocaust.

This makes my day! Another rabid anti-choice lunatic will be gone from Congress.

"Franks also caused an uproar in 2013 when he claimed during an abortion debate that the “incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low,” defending his bill’s lack of an exception for rape and incest victims."



Let's deal with the so very overused idea of "cases of rape or incest."
The concept that there are "cases of rape or incest" is a chimera.
They really don't exist.....well, the fact is that 98.5% of abortion don't involve either abhorrent event.
The cases in which abortion is for rape, 1%; and .5% incest.

Statistics vary, particularly with incest, which is very under reported:

Rape, pregnancy, statistics and the ignorance of some politicians

 

[whitehall]

What rumors of inappropriate behavior? The way the post is written it seems that Franks anti abortion stance is the problem.

 

[HenryBHough]

Perhaps we shouldn't fill any vacancies and just close Congress entirely.

I'm sure that President Trump and the newly invigorated U.S. Supreme court would deal with anything that might arise.

 

[Timmy]

If Franks is resigning due to sexual misconduct, I doubt he will provide specifics in his press statement.

"I raped the Navy mascot goat in a drunken blackout."

Typical Jesus freak republican who’s nothing but a big fake . Can’t even fess up to his sins .

They are waiting to see if Moore wins in AL first. If so, they may go with your idea.

Again the left is pissing all over themselves. But then again when your party is one of massive corruption and hypocrisy what else is left?

House Ethics Committee announces it will investigate him to determine if he engaged in “conduct that constitutes sexual harassment and/or retaliation for opposing sexual harassment”

Discussions of "sexual surrogacy" with young, female staffers would fit the bill:\\Rep. Trent Franks to resign after discussing surrogacy with female staffers
Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., became the third member of Congress to resign this week, saying that he had approached two female subordinates about being a surrogate for his child.

"Given the nature of numerous allegations and reports across America in recent weeks, I want to first make one thing completely clear. I have absolutely never physically intimidated, coerced, or had, or attempted to have, any sexual contact with any member of my congressional staff," Franks said in a statement. "However, I do want to take full and personal responsibility for the ways I have broached a topic that, unbeknownst to me until very recently, made certain individuals uncomfortable. And so, I want to shed light on how those conversations came about."

Did Franks want to fuck both of them and knock them both up? I wonder what his wife, Josephine, thought of that?
