Rep. Vance McAllister |
By John Bresnahan and Jake Sherman, Apr. 7, 2014, Politico.com
Freshman GOP Rep. Vance McAllister of
Louisiana — who ran for office as a principled conservative Christian — has
been caught on video in a romantic encounter with a woman believed to be on his
congressional staff just before Christmas.
The Ouachita Citizen, a newspaper based
in West Monroe, La., posted a
Dec. 23 surveillance video purportedly from inside McAllister’s district office
in Monroe.
The video shows McAllister kissing a
woman identified by the newspaper as a congressional staffer for the first-term
lawmaker. Federal payroll records show she is a part-time aide who began
working for McAllister the day after he won his seat last year.
McAllister won a special election on
Nov. 16 to replace Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-La.). McAllister won in the heavily
Republican district by playing up his conservative credentials, including his
Christian faith and his 16-year marriage.
McAllister’s Washington office door was
locked Monday. He issued a statement in the afternoon apologizing for the
incident and asking for forgiveness.
