Republican State Senator Bill Kintner announced his resignation following an uproar over a tweet he sent, implying that women’s march protesters were too unattractive to be victims of sexual assault. Kintner made the announcement less than an hour before Nebraska lawmakers were scheduled to debate whether to expel him.
In the past, Kintner faced criticism for a pattern of behavior that included cybersex on a state computer. He paid a $1,000 fine for that incident.
