Former GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold says he’s not going to repay taxpayers for his $84,000 sexual harassment settlement. You can thank Republican leadership for failing to make him pay up.

Rep. Blake Farenthold still owes the taxpayers $84,000 for the sexual harassment settlement he paid with their dime.

On Dec. 4, GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold promised to ‘hand a check over this week.’ He still hasn’t paid a dime.

Rep. Blake Farenthold is refusing to pay taxpayers back for $84,000 he used to pay off a sexual harassment lawsuit, and Speaker Paul Ryan won’t do anything about it.
