Not his fault. He sent the pic over his phone to a girlfriend. He wasn’t married at the time and it was a consensual relationship. He didn’t put it online, she apparently did. So while it’s not a smart idea to ever send nude pic, it wasn’t his fault, he’s actually the victim in this scenario. But Dems are trying to turn it into a scandal.
Via Fox News:
Texas Republican Rep. Joe Barton apologized Wednesday after a nude photo and lewd text message supposedly from him surfaced on social media this week.
“While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women,” Barton said in a statement. “Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended.”
Barton, 68, added, “I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down.”
An anonymous account on Twitter earlier this week posted a censored photo of a nude man and suggested it was Barton. The account also tweeted a screenshot of a text message from “Joe B” using strongly sexual language.
