A generational divide has emerged among Democrats on the scandal that forced rising star Rep. Katie Hill's resignation
Rep. Katie Hill’s colleagues were uniformly shocked and saddened by the collapse of the freshman star’s political career. But that’s where their agreement ends.
In the closed-door leadership meeting Monday night, Speaker Nancy Pelosi reflected on what happened as she told senior Democrats that it was Hill’s decision to resign. Rep. Matt Gaetz , one of the few lawmakers publicly declaring support for the embattled freshman, said it stems from the “baby boomer era of judgment” looming over Capitol Hill.
Rank-and-file Democrats have universally mourned the loss of the fast-rising freshman, who was not shy about her aspirations to climb higher in leadership and initially vowed to remain in Congress and cooperate with the Ethics Committee investigation. “This place can be extremely defeating. You’re coming as your unapologetic self. You’re coming as a real person,” Tlaib added. “They’re not ready for people like Katie and I, for people who are different... We needed Katie here and I hope she changes her mind.”
