That we know of.

I forgot to add "that we know of". This guy might lose his republican card if it's found out that the sex was consensual as well as heterosexual.

"Kay Ivey, the first female Republican in Alabama history to hold the office of Lieutenant Governor, will be only the second woman to serve as Governor of the state.

Ivey assumes the role of governor upon the resignation of Robert Bentley, who is stepping down today over a barrage of ethics complaints related to his relationship with former staffer Rebekah Caldwell Mason.

Ivey, 72, has not issued a statement regarding the resignation or her new role. She is expected to be sworn in later today."
