a Republican political honor killing

I wouldn’t likely have commented on the surprise resignation of the Minnesota Senate’s Majority leader, Amy Koch, had it not been for the four Republican male Senators who decided to give a press conference about their role in confronting her over rumors of impropriety between her and a staffer. That they were holding a press conference about having acted on rumors was bad enough. Then their spokesman, Geoff Michel, had the audacity to tell the reporters that the four of them were like Senator Amy Koch’s “brothers.” Some brothers.
