GOP Rep. Christopher Lee Resigns from Congress After Being Outed as Craigslist Troller

His statement: “I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness… I am announcing that I have resigned my seat in Congress effective immediately.”

The sex scandal started earlier today and Gawker has the DIRT.

Republican congressman serving the 26th District of New York. But when he trolls Craigslist’s “Women Seeking Men” forum, he’s Christopher Lee, “divorced” “lobbyist” and “fit fun classy guy.” One object of his flirtation told us her story.

You can read all of the sordid details of the lying AND married Congressman here, if you want.

This fellow is a second term Congressman and you would think being in the majority would give him enough work to be done, besides trolling for dates on Craigslist.

Well, at least one would think.

I am glad the GOP House leadership leaned on Lee to get the hell out of the Congress.

And, good luck with the wife, pal. But don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
