It was bad enough he cheated on his wife and family with a mistress. To add to that abortion, likely to protect himself, just makes him look like the biggest jerk hypocrite among Republicans. And that’s saying something.
Good riddance.
Rep. Tim Murphy's resignation moves #PA18 from Solid Republican to Likely Republican @CookPolitical. R+11, but specials = more uncertainty.
