Senator from Puerto Rico Caught with Pants Down

Senator from Puerto Rico Caught with Pants Down
Sen. Roberto Arango has resigned on Sunday after compromising photos of him reportedly surfaced last week on the gay app Grinder. Arango is a Republican lawmaker who represents the capital of San Juan. In the aftermath of these accusations, Arango took the 'neither confirm, nor deny' approach saying, "I really don't remember having taken those pictures of myself, but it doesn't mean I didn't take them. I really don't remember." However, that tactic seems to be the kiss of death for today's politicians.
