Disgraced former Republican congressman Aaron Schock has now sunk even lower. If you can believe it. Schock, who recently sparked outrage via shirtless gay romp photos from Coachella, was spotted in WeHo earlier this week, chatting up a twink sandwich with bleached blonde hair at the pool of the Standard Hotel (a place that I can tell you from personal experience is a hotbed for man-on-man action).
Published on the Instagram account @eelarson, the photographs were brought to our attention via Towleroad. They’re kind of nauseating…is the nicest thing I can say about them.
Just a little refresher on who this person is: the former Congressman voted to amend the Constitution to outlaw same-sex marriage, he voted against repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” And he’s the guy with that abomination of a Downton Abbey office. He also recently skirted [paid] his way around corruption charges including filing false tax returns, mail fraud, wire fraud, submitting false reports to the FEC, false statements, and theft of government funds, defrauding the government of more than $100,000.
Should we forgive Schock? Should we show him limitless compassion and give him some airtime to come out of the closet? Probably not; I don’t think so. He’s never apologized for the damage he’s done, and clearly he won’t learn or grow. He is on his own self-serving trajectory, oblivious to the needs or basic human rights of others. I think it’s fair to shame and humiliate him as much as we feel like. Maybe I’m just in a mood today–or maybe this is just totally fair and I’m right.
Check out these photos from Schock’s Instagram and try not to at least raise an eyebrow.
