Antifar 03/02/22 9:55:59 PM #1:	https://www.texastribune.org/2022/03/02/van-taylor-reelection/ U.S. Rep. Van Taylor, R-Plano, has decided to end his reelection campaign after he was forced into a primary runoff amid 11th-hour allegations of infidelity. Taylor made the stunning announcement Wednesday, hours after he finished his five-way primary with 49% of the vote, just missing the cutoff for winning the primary outright. The runner-up was former Collin County Judge Keith Self, who is now likely to become the next congressman for the 3rd District. "About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world," U.S. Rep. Van Taylor wrote in an email to supporters.

The runner-up was former Collin County Judge Keith Self, who is now likely to become the next congressman for the 3rd District. "About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world," Taylor wrote in an email to supporters. "I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life. I want to apologize for the pain I have caused with my indiscretion, most of all to my wife Anne and our three daughters." The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one. The day before the primary, the conservative outlet Breitbart News posted a story that Taylor had had a monthslong affair with a Plano woman, Tania Joya, who he had paid $5,000 to keep quiet. The publication reported that she provided it a phone screen shot purporting to be communications with Taylor and a bank record showing that she deposited $5,000 into her account. The Texas Tribune has not been able to independently verify the report. Taylor is married with three children. Joya is known as a former jihadist who was once married to a commander for the Islamic State. Tabloids have referred to her as ISIS bride. Efforts to reach Joya were not immediately successful Wednesday. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:963120822] in Congressma...

bknight 03/03/22 1:39:24 AM #9:	Surprised he walked away, the way they're doing it now is to just ignore it or double down on whatever they're accused of, and it seems to work. Guess getting sloppy seconds after a terrorist is the goal line for stepping down/ending re-election. <cite>bknight posted [p:963124915] in Congressma...
