Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) announced Wednesday that he will retire at the end of his term next year after a report that he suggested a woman he was having an affair with get an abortion.
In a statement to Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA, Murphy said that he would not seek reelection in 2018 and would instead spend his remaining time in Congress working on mental health care reform.
"After discussions with my family and staff, I have come to the decision that I will not seek reelection to Congress at the end of my current term," he said.
"In the coming weeks I will take personal time to seek help as my family and I continue to work through our personal difficulties and seek healing. I ask you to respect our privacy during this time.”
Yes pay attention to me when I am advocating to take away a woman's right to choose, but please give me privacy when I get caught being a hypocritical douchenozzle.
I think this might be my feel good story of the day.
