They cause all that trouble for the poor helpless men, you know. It was a terrible idea. (Sadly, this is probably needed.)

was taken advantage of by that horrible homewrecking tramp! He was just minding his own business and she used her feminine wiles to force him to stray from his marriage of over 20 years.

From the gotnews link

The affair is something of an open secret in Washington, D.C. Reporters at other publications, lobbyists, congressional staffers of both parties all know about it. One staffer for a congressman describes it as the “biggest open secret” in D.C. A lobbyist describes Ellmers as a “social climber who has ingratiated herself” with McCarthy.

House leadership also knows about the affair. Speaker John Boehner reportedly told McCarthy to stop the affair once McCarthy was elected Majority Leader says a well placed congressional staffer. At least one leadership staffer doesn’t think the affair ended. “They are unusually close,” says the staffer who insists that the affair is going on. “It’s weird if he’s not ******* her.”
