Katherine Lauren “Katie” Hill (born August 25, 1987, age 35) is the former Democrat Party representative from California's 25th Congressional District in the U.S. House, who resigned because of a sex scandal.[1] Hill was elected in the 2018 Midterm elections, being one of seven Democrats who unseated incumbent Republicans in California that year.[2]. According to some California rag focused on homosexuals and the gender-confused,[3] Hill "made history" as California's first openly bisexual Congressional representative.[4] Hill is a supporter of the so-called "Equality Act,"[5] which threatens fundamental First Amendment free speech and religious freedoms.[6]
After Republican Mike Garcia won Hill's seat in a special election in 2020 with over 50% of the vote,[7] the former representative took to Twitter in a whiny (see: Liberal whining) profane rant, calling the election results “f***ing devastating” and asserting that she “cried for a few days” (as a grown adult).[8]

Hill, as Vice Chair of the House Oversight Committee,[9] was stepped over for Chairman upon the death over Rep. Elijah Cummings, largely due to her involvement in a sex scandal involving both male and female paid employees on her staff.[10] Hill abandoned her husband when she moved to Washington, D.C..[11][12] Then, to justify her involvement with a male finance director on her congressional staff, Hill publicly slandered her husband in the Los Angeles Times, without evidence, as "abusive."[13]
After intense pressure from leaked photographs and the House Ethics Committee opening up an investigation into the affair, Hill admitted that she had been involved in the affair, acknowledging it as wrong and indicating that she would be cooperating with the investigation.[14]
Hill, a liberal Democrat, has a Nazi tattoo.[15] Hill was endorsed for Congress by Barack Obama. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $5.1 million to Hill's 2018 campaign. Hill became such a problem and embarrassment for Democrats, she resigned on October 27, 2019 whereupon she issued a video blaming her ‘abusive husband, right-wing media and the GOP’ for her throuple relationship and naked bong party scandal,[16]
I made this decision so that my supporters, my family, my staff in our community, will no longer be subjected to the pain inflicted by my abusive husband, and the brutality of hateful political operatives this coordinated campaign carried out by the right-wing media and Republican opponents, enabling and perpetuating my husband's abuse by providing him a platform, is disgusting and unforgivable. And they will be held accountable. But I will not allow myself to be a distraction from the constitutional crisis we're faced with and the critical work of my colleagues. And so I have to take my personal fight outside the halls of Congress. Too many Americans are counting on Washington to fulfill our promises of quality health care, housing we can afford, and a government that works for the people. And I cannot let this horrible smear campaign get in the way of that work. ... I'm going to continue to fight for our democracy, for representation, for justice and equality, and from making the world a better place. ... I'm hurt. I'm angry. The path that I saw so clearly for myself is no longer there. I've had moments where I've wondered what the last three years of my life were for, and if it was worth it.
Even Politico got into the act, claiming Hill was the victim of some vast right wing conspiracy.[17]
