First I heard of this...
We don't need individuals like this in office....Sad, but if we removed individuals like this there wouldn't be much left! LOL
Aaron Schock to resign amid spending scandal - CNN.com
Washington (CNN)Embattled Rep. Aaron Schock announced Tuesday he would resign his seat at the end of the month, in the wake of a congressional ethics investigation into reports that he used taxpayer money to fund lavish trips and events.
In a statement, he said he was stepping down "with a heavy heart," having given his constituents "my all over the last six years."
"But the constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself," he added.
Politico first reported on Tuesday afternoon that Schock would step down. The news marks the end of an embarrassing chapter for the former GOP rising star congressman known for his Instagram account and a memorable shirtless appearance on the cover of Men's Health magazine.
