What to Do as a GOP Rep. If Your Own Sex Video Is Sent from Your Own Cellphone"},"content":{"rendered":"

Rep. Jud McMillin<\/strong>, a rising star in the Indiana Repubican Party, abruptly resigned on Tuesday because of a sex video “starring” him was sent from his cellphone, which he says was stolen in Canada.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The Indianapolis Star has learned that the surprise resignation came after a sexually explicit video was sent via text message from McMillin's cellphone.<\/em><\/p>\n

McMillin said in a text message last week, “My phone was stolen in Canada<\/strong> and out of my control for about 24 hours.  I have just been able to reactivate it under my control. Please disregard any messages you received recently. I am truly sorry for anything offensive you may have received.<\/strong>”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

And the schaden<\/em> doesn’t get much more freude<\/em> than with this bit of irony:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately for McMillin, it’s perfectly legal for someone to distribute a pornographic video of him without his consent. That’s because, as a member of the House Committee on Courts and Criminal Code, McMillin helped block a bill that would criminalize revenge porn in Indiana.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The exact acts depicted in the video remain unclear, although the Indianapolis Business Journal reports that McMillin is definitely the tape’s feature player<\/strong>. But according to McMillin’s apologetic mass-text to his phone contacts, he didn’t hit the send button.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And it’s not the first time his sexual proclivity has led to his resignation:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

In 2005, his career as an assistant county prosecutor in Ohio came to an end amid questions about his sexual conduct<\/strong>. He admitted to a relationship with the complainant in a domestic violence case he was prosecuting, but he insisted the relationship began after he stepped off the case, according to the Dayton Daily News. He resigned a week after he stopped working on the case.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So as a Rethuglican, who do you blame if you have an affair?  Blame Canada!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So as a Rethuglican, who do you blame if you decide to videotape having sex with her on your cellphone?  Blame Canada!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So as a Rethuglican, who do you blame if that sex tape is sent out en masse<\/em> from your own cellphone?  Blame Canada!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
