Texas Congressman Joe Barton has apologized for a leaked nude photo of him that is currently circulating online but says he no plans to resign over it.
The Republican from Ennis acknowledged the sexually explicit photo in a statement on Wednesday saying it was taken in recent years when he was separated from his second wife.
‘While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women. Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended,’ the 68-year-old said in a statement.
‘I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down.’
The nude photo surfaced this week when an anonymous Twitter user named Parker21333 posted it online and censored the image by covering Barton’s penis.
The user also posted a screenshot of a graphic text message Barton had sent that read: ‘I want u soo bad. Right now.’
The person also claims to have footage of Barton masturbating.
It is not clear if Parker21333 is the person who received the text messages from Barton, but the person claims they are being ‘harassed’ by the congressman.
Barton married his second wife Terri in 2004 before they divorced two years ago. He was married to his first wife Janet Sue Winslow from 1970 to 2003.
He has four children and five grandchildren.
His spokesman said Barton has no plans to resign over the leaked photo.
Barton, who only announced his re-election bid earlier this month, told the Texas Tribune he was now deliberating it.
‘You’re as aware of what was posted as I am,’ he said.
‘I am talking to a number of people, all of whom I have faith in and am deciding how to respond, quite frankly.’
Barton joined the House in 1985 and is currently the longest serving Congressman from Texas.
He is the vice-chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

fascinating, the recent waterfall of illumination into the personal affairs.
some are sick of course but also expected coming from the deviants who populate the halls of D.C.
one has to ponder the coincidences and timing with the revelation of the Amazon S3 repository news…..
hmmmm
you know, Avg. Joe, I’ve considered the same thing.
I’m wondering if all the recent exposure of politicians’ perversions doesn’t have an ulterior motive….. such as moving all political support behind one man…. a new Fuhrer, maybe.
With a bad wig.
It’s not just individual politicians that are being trashed, but entire political parties…. almost as if there’s an intentional goal of insuring that all Americans become completely disillusioned with the current political system.
Bingo!
Along with the news and entertainment industries. I think you’re right bubba. The really interesting part is who will be next?
We SHOULD be completely disillusioned! When will Americans wake up and realize we need a complete overhaul of our government, from “we the people”? It is unlikely to happen though, because we are so entrenched with the notion of “us” and “them” when it comes to government. We don’t realize WE are supposed to be our government. Instead we leave it to politicians and think our votes matter, haha! Every politician needs to be thrown out, every single one, and government needs to be rebuilt using only the Constitution, citizens who have never held office, and TERM LIMITS for every single representative. Career politicians always become corrupt.
“…..he no plans to resign over it….”
Why the hell should he? Every week, three more politicians are exposed as perverts. Marion Barry has a statue in D.C. Pedophiles and freaks are running the country, and any act of heterosexuality is punishable by jail time.
You may need to be a pervert to get any votes these days. Straight males are under attack from all sides. You can’t hold office unless you’ve proven yourself to be a freak.
they should send the pic of this par boiled inbreeded imbelcile too little cum..would give him a Korean woody…or heart attack..but I prefer the sheer heart attack…the queen song can melt your ear drums..but what the hell do I know?
This fat pig should be keel hauled, not only is he a sick perv, but a ugly ass fat slob perv. How this tub of lard is able to serve Texans is a friggen mystery.
Arrogant asshole…. roll butterboy in dough and deep fry the SOB. When your a slob, you dont show the world, all you do is make people puke.
What no photo. This article sucks. Lol jk
Hah! I’ve searched high and low for a pic of this guy in a leather thong with a red ball gag stuffed in his mouth but to no avail…I’ll post it when found but I admit, I was kinda disappointed too.
Here is the photo

Man, I’m glad as hell that someone redacted part of that photo! Whew!
In the 60+ years I’ve been around it has never entered my mind to take nude photos of myself. Much less share them with someone.
Let’s all pray that nudes of Nancy Pelosi are never released…
Oh My God !!!
Did you have to go and say that? Even suggest it , they
Exist ,,, please no lord no
What?
We’re all waiting with baited breath…..
What is wrong with you people? So this would all be ok if this guy was young and fit? Everybody makes jokes about this crap and then complains what a messed up government we have. Well, this government and all its filth and fraud is a reflection of “we the people”, because our standards have sunk into the gutter and as the saying goes, people deserve the government they allow to govern them.
Chris
Thank you for repeating what we have been saying here for the last six years verbatim. Until the pond scum is scraped off the top, you will be reading a lot more of the above mentioned.
The fat pig senator is going to receive hell from us until his ungodly fat perv ass is terminated
