Former mistress of GOPer David Vitter claims he got her pregnant and asked her to abort

Source: Raw Story

A sex worker who claims she had a long-standing relationship with married, family values Republican senator and candidate for Louisiana governor David Vitter dropped a bombshell accusation one week before voters go to the polls.

Wendy Ellis claims she had an affair with Vitter, he impregnated her and then asked her to abort the baby. Ellis says she did not, instead putting the child up for legal adoption, according to WDSU.

In a video interview by Jason Berry, who posted it to his American Zombie blog, Ellis said she maintained a relationship with Vitter for three years after meeting him when he was a state representative in the 1990s.

She said the two of them stopped seeing each other when she was six months pregnant, and she knows he was the father because she wasn’t sleeping with anyone else at the time.

None of that matters.

Cuz Jeezus.

Jeezus, Jeezus, Jeezus.

There is a lot of stupid people in the south where hypocrisy doesn't matter.

All a politician has to do is convince brain dead whack jobs he is more krischun than the other guy and he gets elected.

Even is he is a chicken f-er.

We should kick the South out of the United States.

They could rename their country Dumfukistan.

Diaper boy Vitter could be the Fuhrer!!!

For the mother's sake, as well as the child's.

And I hope the child's adoptive parents are making sure that he or she has contact with her natural mother as her life draws to a close.

Finally, it was said that the mother got married. If she had any other children I hope that her first child's a-parents will encourage him or her to have a relationship with their siblings.

Shame on David Vitter for not expressing any interest in his own son or daughter.

wasn't one of those big anti-abortion congressmen caught paying for his daughter's abortion? When called on his hypocrisy, he used the fact that it was legal to excuse it.

If a woman doesn't obey him when he tells her to get an abortion, then she's bad.

If she says she's pro-choice and decides to have the child, she's bad.

Goddamn hypocrites.

so there's no time to refute it, I give no credence to. It's a long standing dirty trick technique. She had plenty of time to say this publicly before. Besides a monogamous sex worker? Seriously?

And yes, many sex workers do go on to have monogamous relationships. Even husbands and children.

Hustler had a contract with her in case they wanted to do another story on her. - only Hustler could have exclusive with her. That contract ran out very recently

I believe the woman said she is in contact with this child (who is a teenager now) and I suspect DNA testing will be done.

I don't care if she was a sex worker. She came across as completely credible to me. I felt for her. She lived thru hell because of him and he is still denying the reality. He usedher and then cast her aside for political gain. She is the one who suffered. And now she is dying and she just wants to put the record straight.

I'm glad her child is in a good family. It was her choice to have the child and she found a good home for him/her.

Vitter is a low level snake. He's a bad person.
