GOP lawmaker's wife accuses him of an affair -- and points the finger at the wrong woman

House Homeland Security Chair Mark Green engaged in an extramarital affair, the woman involved told POLITICO Friday — speaking out after a text message from Green’s estranged wife circulated among House Republicans.

In that message, first sent to a group of acquaintances on Wednesday, Camilla Green announced that the Tennessee Republican, her husband of 35 years, was leaving her for a younger woman he had met in Washington. It also included an allegation about the identity of the woman’s employer, sparking a legal threat from the company, which disputed the charge.

“He fell head over heels in love with her to the extent he wanted to marry her and start a new family,” she wrote, adding that she has tried to reconcile and “he wants nothing of it and has insisted on a divorce.”

“Satan has rewritten our marriage in his mind,” she wrote in the message, which was first reported by the Nashville Banner. “My heart is shattered. I really just don’t know how to do life right now.”

Repubes wave their Bibles around all over kingdom come,
and then they violate the Commandments routinely.

The technical term for being such a complete a-hole:
stinking G.O.P. hypocrite.

“[H]e pushed God out of his life, me out of his life, and developed friendships with other congressmen and women having affairs and getting divorces, drinking, parties, all while hosting a weekly Bible study in the basement of our home,” she wrote.

Mark Green announced in February that he would retire from Congress, saying in a statement that it was “time for me to return home.” He thanked his wife and family “for standing beside me and for their service to our nation.”

He abruptly reversed course two weeks later, citing a request from former President Donald Trump, who had publicly called on him to reconsider. Green filed for divorce last month in Montgomery County, Tennessee.

How will repuglicans ever live within the tight "moral" constraints of Project 2025?

No divorce, no porn, ten kids to provide for and the list goes on.

of a cheating spouse. This has nothing to do with anyone but those who are directly involved. It does not speak well of people who think they have to tell the world. It rarely ends well.

Scorned Wife: MAGA Rep, 59, Had Affair With 32-Year-Old

Green, 59, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, filed for divorce from his wife of 30 years, Camilla “Camie” Green, last month. The New York Post reported Camie alleged that the impetus for his filing was the congressman’s “affair with a 32-year-old woman.”
