Former Rep. Katie Hill, who resigned last year amid an ethics probe, says she's concerned about how Joe Biden's potential VP picks have been treated.
after a right-wing website posted nude photos of her along with claims she was having a sexual relationship with an aide. She denied the claim but admitted to having a relationship with a campaign staffer. Two weeks after the photos and claims surfaced, Hill resigned.
Hill, 32, has repeatedly acknowledged her relationship with a staffer was inappropriate and says in the excerpt she doesn't regret stepping down from Congress, but has argued many men have dealt with similar scandals and didn't see their careers derailed. "I'm leaving, but we have men who have been credibly accused of intentional acts of sexual violence and remain in boardrooms, on the Supreme Court, in this very body, and worst of all, in the Oval Office," she said in her final floor speech in October., about the marriage to her estranged husband. She also details the moment she found out about the nude photos being published and the loneliness she felt as she wrestled with the embarrassment, threats and her future.
"I didn’t quite accept it until a few days later, but the future I had imagined as a leader in Congress, the job I was good at and loved and knew I was making a difference by doing, was over," Hill , adding in vivid detail the one evening she sat in a tub and contemplated taking her own life."How could I ever face anyone again, knowing what they’d seen? What they knew?"
