Rep. Katie Hill, the millennial, bisexual, cable news celebrity
politician from California’s 25th Congressional District, abruptly resigned
Sunday, amid a social media sex scandal for the revenge porn, #MeToo era.
“It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation
from Congress,” Democrat Hill wrote in a statement.
Even as wannabe successors immediately began lining up for a 2020 special
election campaign to replace her, many supporters of the 32-year-old Democrat
struggled to fathom the swift-moving events that wrecked her promising career within
a few days, less than a year after she was elected.
