A Republican Tennessee state senator who ran on a platform of—what else—Christian family values is accused of having an extramarital affair with his second cousin, who was both an employee and a patient at his medical practice. Sen. Joey Hensley is also accused by the woman’s estranged husband of prescribing her opioids, which could be ethically problematic.

The allegations, which were reported by the Nashville Scene, came during testimony in the cousin’s divorce trial. They are but the latest twist in Senator Hensley’s surprisingly eventful love life: he was accused by his own wife of hitting her twice with his car, an accusation she later withdrew.

...

Hensley told the Scene that there’s no issue with prescribing his employee-lover-patient-cousin opioids, since they are no longer romantically involved, and since he treats lots of family members. His cousin, meanwhile, testified that they are still involved and that she stayed with him at a hotel when he was on a taxpayer-funded trip last month.

1. Hallelujah!

I'm sure that he'll issue a public apology before his constituents, his financial backers and his "God," and all will be forgiven come election day.

5. An OK senator and Trump campaign chair

who continually introduces anti LGBT bills was recentlhy caught with a 17 year old male prostitute. He had to be "forced" to resign and if convicted, would still keep his pension.

6. What a surprise!

Don't you think all of these "family values" types have big old skeletons in their closets? We have to start playing dirty and expose them all.

7. A local publication recently had a hilarious write-up on this hypocrite.

State Legislators to Regular Tennesseans: Family Values for Thee, but Not for Me
Joey Hensley pushes anti-LGBT legislation by day, sleeps with his married patient (who is also his employee and second cousin) by night

BETSY PHILLIPS MAR 9, 2017

The details sound straight out of a soap opera.
A doctor and his younger nurse fall in love. They continue their torrid affair even after his ex-wife tips off the nurse’s husband, a local politician, to the salacious goings-on. As the divorce moves forward, discovery turns up that the nurse is not just the doctor’s employee and his lover, but his patient, with a predilection for pain pills. And, oh, she’s his second cousin, too.

Joey Hensley has been married and divorced four times. He has the gall to be offended by gay people and to champion conservative laws designed to screw them over. And here he is, fooling around with his employee, prescribing her drugs, helping her cheat on her spouse and going through wives like some folks go through toilet paper. The audacity of it is breathtaking.

LGBT people in Tennessee are, by and large, boring, ordinary people who just want the right to marry the people they love and to make families that are stable and legally protected. Every once in a while you’ll get some activist who’s like, “I’m going to march in the Pride Parade wearing only my cock ring!” But considering how many people get drunk and streak through their college campuses or go skinny dipping, even that’s not that shocking. And, I’m sorry, I wish people were more interesting, but even Mr. Cock Ring spends a lot of time doing laundry, paying bills and picking at weird ingrown hairs.

So it fundamentally offends me that boring, ordinary people who just want stability and legal protections are understood by most state politicians as being huge pervert sinners who must have the fuck legislated out of them by “good Christians,” while the “good Christians” are playing hide-the-pickle with their subordinates, divorcing like it’s their hobby and prescribing drugs to a person they’re fucking. All while also being state legislators! And do these “good Christian” legislators ever die of shame or get struck by lightning by a vengeful God? No. Which somehow makes the insult worse.

Lastly, women of Hohenwald, do you not have girlfriends down there? Is there no one to take you aside and tell you hard truths? How is Joey Hensley finding so many women down there to fuck and fuck over? One or two of y’all I could understand, but this is ridiculous.

Listen, you don’t want a serious relationship with a man who’s been married four times. Also, if he wants to fuck you in your place of employment, it’s kind of a red flag that he’s a thrill-seeker and a boundary-pusher, which doesn’t bode well for him settling down and being good to you. Along those same lines, anything he’ll do with you, he’ll do to you. And fourth, DO NOT MARRY THIS MAN ANYMORE. He is not going to change. Your cooter, which I’m sure is very lovely, is not magic and is not going to Beauty-and-the-Beast him into being a good boyfriend or, God forbid, husband.

I will even concede that, at this point, he might be a fantastic lay, and, sweethearts, we’ve all been there. A man who can reliably make you come can be hard to walk away from. But a good-hearted boring man who respects you can be taught. You don’t have to settle for being the potential fifth wife of a guy who won’t even admit the scope of your relationship.

My God, please, don’t settle for a man who can sin this egregiously and still find it in his heart to try to punish other sinners legislatively however he can. That kind of hypocrisy is soul-rotting, and you deserve better than someone with a rotten soul.
