Katie Hill was right to resign from Congress. Now she just needs to start taking responsibility for her own choices.

The freshman Democrat gave a forceful farewell speech on the House floor Thursday, decrying the “double standard” that pushed her, a woman in power, out of office. “I’m stepping down, but I refuse to let this experience scare off other women who dare to take risks, who dare to step into this light, who dare to be powerful,” said Hill, who admitted to carrying out an affair with a female campaign staffer but has denied having a similar affair with her legislative director, Graham Kelly.
