Very uncool of ROL to go after her. She did nothing wrong. She did nothing wrong, just sent out a funny tweet. She didn't know the Congressman would respond and he didn't identify himself. So you go after her?

haha @ the racist idiots! forget that this married WHITE man attempted to cheat on Craig lists. Lets bifurcate that part of the story and focus on her criminal record, so we can confirm that ALL BLACK WOMEN ARE criminals. Pathetic existence.

I don't think this is payback, everyone has been wondering why he resigned so quickly, well with her criminal background with fraud, maybe she was trying to get him to pay her.

Thanks ROL, for exposing this women for what she is, a SCAMMER. He probably chose to resign his Congressional seat, rather than having to pay her money.

This girl paid her debt. She did nothing wrong here. She sent out a funny tweet and he responded with a shirtless picture. How is she guilty of ANYTHING here?

He's a liar, a cheat, and a bad judge of character. Good thing he was exposed early in his career. We should be so lucky with some other politicians.

Yesha say good bye to your job and standing in the community. BTW what will your kids think of you? That was what was probably the most important thing to consider of all. Some people just do not think about what they do.
