Republicans divided on Farenthold resignation
Source: Politico
Speaker Paul Ryan and his conferences top advocate on sexual harassment appear divided about whether Rep. Blake Farenthold should resign following news of his taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlement.
Ryan will not call on the Texas Republican to resign following a POLITICO report that he used $84,000 in taxpayer funds to pay off an accuser, his office said Friday night even though he has called for Democratic Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) to step aside over similar sexual harassment allegations.
But GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock (Va.), whos led the charge for Republicans against sexual harassment on Capitol Hill, said through a spokesperson that Farenthold should step aside.
Comstock also called on Farenthold to reimburse taxpayers for the full $84,000 settlement and for both parties to waive their confidentiality agreement so they can testify about what happened.
