In the wake of Weinergate, a chorus on the right calling for Vitter’s resignation has gotten louder and louder. The latest:
The president of the Christian conservative Family Policy Network sent Sen. David Vitter, R-La., a letter Monday calling on him to follow the lead of former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and resign rather than leave Republicans and conservatives open to charges of hypocrisy. Vitter admitted to a “serious sin” in 2007 after his phone number was found in the 2001 client records of a woman accused of running a prostitution ring.
Dan Savage points out:
They’re not calling on him to resign because adultery is a sin and prostitution is a crime and somewhere Jesus is crying into his sweet tea. Nope, the conservative Christian group thinks Vitter should resign because he’s making the GOP look bad.
