Rep. Van Taylor (R-TX) apologized for an affair with an ex-jihadist dubbed the ISIS bride and abruptly dropped his bid for a third term, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Said Taylor: About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world. I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life.
Texas Tribune: Taylor made the stunning announcement Wednesday, hours after he finished his five-way primary with 49% of the vote, just missing the cutoff for winning the primary outright.

(42,515 posts)There were commercials and signs everywhere saying "Van Taylor betrayed us." They were of course referring to his vote to certify the 2020 election. I bet someone was holding on to information about the affair, waiting to see if someone else won the primary.
