The revenge porn aspect of the story is separate, despicable and should be addressed via legal means.

Unethical, sure, no disagreement there. But I'm leery of imposing a strict norm of resignation over this for elected office, considering that voters have the opportunity to have their say in both primary and general elections, and where there may counter-aggravating factors at play.

The idea that someone can simultaneously be victim and offender is gonna be difficult for progressives to grasp here.

Is anybody arguing that she wasn’t engaged in unethical behavior? Or come out in opposition to her resignation?
