This isn’t typical “revenge porn.” This is evidence of a potential ethics violation by a congressperson who, had the accusation been made without evidence, would have assuredly denied it. The photo of Hill naked with the bong is gratuitous, but the one of her naked brushing the female staffer’s hair is evidentiary, and publishing it is protected speech.
Something tells me that if there had been a Trump pee tape that was released without his consent, y’all wouldn’t have been wailing and moaning about revenge porn, nor should you. Public officials with skeletons, active or past, are a national security risk, and speech revealing those skeletons is important and, often, a public service, precisely because it would not be released consensually.
If you don’t want your affairs to be a matter of public concern, don’t run for office.
Maybe Junebug is right, this wasn’t typical revenge porn, maybe more like sabotage porn.

I mean, she resigned. There was no standard that was applied. She just resigned.
Duncan Hunter should resign too. The fact that he hasn’t is a failure of pub leadership.
I know this will blow your dems good pubs bad mindset, but it is possible to be critical of your own party.

Anything that can be used to blackmail a congressperson or president is a national security risk. This is part of the reason why we should insist that our elected officials are of the highest moral fiber. Stop playing politics.
I’m not claiming one.
In any event, is it known how the photographs were released to conservative media? The husband is obviously the most likely culprit, but is that known?
The Washington Examiner has an article claiming that Hill and her husband posted some nude pictures of her to a wife-swapping website before she was elected.

How did they know it was Hill and her husband, not just the husband?
Can we pause for a bit too appreciate that Katie Hill is cool AF?
GTFO with that nonsense. I’m arguing that it is free speech when used to bring down powerful people.
"Revenge porn is free speech and should be legal" is a great libertarian talking point. It translates as most libertarian talking points do, which is "everybody should be free to do anything, because the people who currently have power/money/privilege will use that freedom to crush the weak and the people who don't have the power/money/privilege will have no access to justice".
If you post pics of yourself on a swinger site, It’s not revenge porn it’s exposed sorry. How dumb do you have to be?
