The Santa Clarita Valley Signal reports that Jeffrey Moffatt, Republican candidate for Congress in California’s 25th District, is appealing his disbarment for asking a woman to send him nude photographs over Facebook. Looks like Steve Knight isn’t the only Republican in the 25th who demonstrates behavior unbecoming of a Member of Congress.

Jeffrey Moffatt, a Republican from Lancaster, admits that in October 2013 he sent a Facebook message to a woman asking her to send him nude photographs.
Moffatt — a candidate for the congressional seat that takes in the Santa Clarita Valley and is now held by Steve Knight, R-Palmdale — said his actions were a “mistake,” but he believes he did nothing illegal.
“I happen to have a male drive that on occasion will come out,” he said. “In this case, it was an inopportune time.”
“I’m being taken down for asking an out-of-state chick for a nude over Facebook three years ago,” he said.
