Update: In the days after this article was posted, Massa continued to provide new explanations about why he resigned and more and more stories came out about his creepy behavior. Democrats may have pushed him out faster because of his opposition to Obamacare, but there seems to be a long record of inappropriate behavior. Massa is certainly not a good ally in the fight against Obamacare.
From Politico:
Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) says the House ethics committee is investigating him for inappropriate comments he made to a male staffer on New Year’s Eve — and that he’s the victim of a power play by Democratic leaders who want him out of Congress because he’s a “no” vote on health care reform.
“Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill,” Massa, who on Friday announced his intention to resign, said during a long monologue on radio station WKPQ. “And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they’ve gotten rid of me, and it will pass. You connect the dots.”
