TN Rep Green's daughter speaks out on extramarital affair



The Tennessee Holler
UPDATE: Rep. Mark Green’s daughter comments on his affair, calling him “increasingly self-centered”, “not the Christian conservative he sells himself as”, and saying they’ve had to “grieve the loss of the person we thought was our father”


Rep. Mark Green’s Daughter Says He’s Not the ‘Christian, Conservative Family Man’ He Claims to Be

Family blames ‘toxic environment’ in D.C. for affair, but infidelity might not be enough for him to lose reelection bid

This week, Camilla Green, the wife of Republican Rep. Mark Green, texted a group of Congress members to warn them against the evils of politics, accusing Green of being corrupted by D.C. and having an affair with a woman 27 years younger than him.

The scandal, which comes less than a month after he filed for divorce, raises questions about the Tennessee Congressman’s brand as a pro-family conservative, including from his own daughter.

Camilla’s emotionally charged text described the other woman as a “predator” and misidentified her as an employee at a political news outlet. Later, an unnamed woman who works in politics told Politico she had an affair with the congressman and Camilla admitted to flubbing the woman’s employer in the text.

When the Banner tried to reach Camilla, the couple’s adult daughter confirmed her mother’s mistake.

2. Not defending this guy's adultery,

but it certainly is a trend for middle aged men to deviate from their marriages......older men (Rep. or Dem.) continuously desire physical intimacy as most womens sexual desires tapper off significantly after menopause. This is most prevalent in Europe.

9. Not buying the menopause logic

In my experience, men who do this have often had many affairs prior to menopause. Menopause tends to free women up from burdens of periods and possible unwanted pregnancies.

And thanks for the new abbreviation! Very apt in this case.

His father would be disappointed.

3. Well I'll bet this got his attention. Infidelity is always wrong and the Christian's will still vote for him.

“Yeah, he’s flawed but God made him that way so it must be ok.” (What they say about Trump)


Wouldn’t you hate to be invited to TG at their house?
