Let’s not rehabilitate Katie Hill

Published October 20, 2021 7:14pm ET



The press are still trying to rehabilitate disgraced former Democratic Rep. Katie Hill of California, who resigned from Congress in 2019 to avoid an ethics investigation into her sexual abuse of a campaign staffer.

Hill, who may have also misappropriated campaign funds to continue paying said campaign staffer for nearly a year after the election, and who also awarded an unusually large bonus to a legislative aide with whom she was also reportedly romantically involved, maintains she is the real victim. Like a textbook narcissist and abuser, Hill believes she is the wronged party, her malfeasance is defensible, and the entire world is conspiring against her.
