Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) won’t seek re-election following sexual harassment allegations, he said in a video message.
What happened?
In a video message on Thursday, Farenthold acknowledged that there was an “unprofessional” environment in his office.
“I’d never served in public office before,” he said. “I had no idea how to run a congressional office and as a result, I allowed a workplace culture to take root in my office that was too permissive and decidedly unprofessional.”
