Joe Barton, Senior Texas Republican, Apologizes for Explicit Photo
"WASHINGTON — The heightened scrutiny of sexual impropriety on Capitol Hill has swept up a senior House Republican who on Wednesday apologized for a sexually explicit photo that wound up on the internet.
Representative Joe Barton of Texas, who was once chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is now its vice chairman, told The Texas Tribune that he was reconsidering his political future after the photograph appeared on an anonymous Twitter account. Just weeks ago, Mr. Barton announced that he would seek an 18th term in Congress.
“You’re as aware of what was posted as I am,” he told The Tribune. “I am talking to a number of people, all of whom I have faith in and am deciding how to respond, quite frankly.”
In a statement, Mr. Barton, 68, said that while separated from his wife, he had “sexual relationships with other mature adult women.”
“Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended,” he said. “I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down.”.
