Katie Hill gives final House floor address before resigning pscp.tv/w/cIsWYTFvTmps…
Rank-and-file Democrats have universally mourned the loss of Rep. Katie Hill, but they're split on how much responsibility she should assume for the firestorm that led to her resignation politi.co/2JF2QYO
Katie Hill is officially resigning from the House this week, and the California Democrat's swift political downfall comes after sexual misconduct allegations — and a nude photo — were published on a conservative website politico.com/news/2019/10/3…
Hill admitted to a consensual — but “inappropriate” — relationship with a staffer.

She said her “abusive husband” notified conservative media of photographic evidence and that he threatened to make hundreds more public after the first nude📷 was published politico.com/news/2019/10/3…
Hill's colleagues were uniformly saddened by the collapse of the freshman star’s political career, but there's still a stark generational divide on how the scandal should have been handled within the party politico.com/news/2019/10/3…
Older lawmakers echoed Nancy Pelosi in mourning Hill's resignation while calling for her to be more careful.

Younger lawmakers say she shouldn't have resigned over her husband's "revenge porn," also suggesting male lawmakers wouldn't be expected to either politico.com/news/2019/10/3…
