Disgraced Republican alcoholic sex pest former Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold died this week from a heart attack after struggling with chronic liver disease, the Texas Tribune reports.
Farenthold, 63, resigned in April 2018 during the #MeToo wave after Politico reported the previous December that he had used $84,000 in taxpayer funds to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit from a former aide – and a whole shit ton of other embarrassing revelations, like that he told a male aide before his wedding to “have your fiancee blow you before she walks down the aisle – it will be the last time,” and that, per the lawsuit accuser, he “regularly drank to excess, and because of his tendency to flirt, the staffers who accompanied him to Capitol Hill functions would joke that they had to be on ‘redhead patrol’ to keep him out of trouble,” meaning they had to keep redheaded women away from him so he wouldn’t sexually harass them in front of other people.
The former congressman, who often wore a bow-tie, looked like a considerably fatter version of Nathan Lane with a large gap between his top incisor teeth. Typical male GOP sex machine.
