As Twitchy readers know, Rep. Pat Meehan believed his MUCH younger aide was his soulmate. Yup, the married, father of three admitted he developed a ‘deep affection’ for the young lady.
Seems his affection may have been deep enough to influence him to vote AGAINST the GOP bill to repeal Obamacare.
No really, read his letter.
.@RepMeehan voted against the GOP bill to repeal Obamacare partly to try to please a female aide he saw as his soulmate, per sources. He wrote to her that, on the day of the vote, “I had to say ‘no’ to @POTUS & to @SpeakerRyan, I got to say ‘yes’ to you”* https://t.co/Dvv1QkEGj5 pic.twitter.com/V6GkeNZQny

He had to say no to Americans who want the nightmare to end so he could impress a chick.
* @RepMeehan says that the letter actually referred to his blessing for the staffer’s relationship with a new boyfriend, & not the Obamacare vote: “‘Yes to you’ was ‘yes to this great relationship,’” he told me. https://t.co/Dvv1QkEGj5

Sure dude, tell us another one.
If you read the letter, it’s obvious he wanted his aide to know that when he voted against the repeal that it was for her. Honestly, this letter reads like some sappy nonsense a guy would write his girl in high school …
The REP thinking with the other head. Unfortunately he wasn’t thinking of the ppl who voted for him.

All you can do is shake your head, and make fun of him.
Oh, and not re-elect him.
Oh that's. Just. Embarrassing… pic.twitter.com/T9iPeG9fMP

And seriously pathetic.
Is it a job requirement that anyone running for public office needs to have no moral compass, voting because of a crush on aide. The congressman needs to resign.

At this point, Meehan has not resigned, but we agree.
Seeing it in black and white, in his own handwriting – c’mon man, have some dignity and resign.

That is the EXACT face we made when we read it.
Bleh.
