During the 2010 congressional elections, many new (Tea Party) Republicans were elected, one of them being Scott DesJarlais. Despite running on “family-values” and having a “pro-life” stance, DesJarlai was revealed to had many affairs with co-workers and patients during his career as a doctor (which is against the law), and he had pressured a mistress to get an abortion and his ex-wife had two abortions before. Despite all the scandals, voters in Tennessee’s 4th district keep sending him back to Congress.
