Representative Vance McAllister is known for his conservative Christian views. He has been serving Louisiana, reported DailyMail. However, things did not turn out well for the Christian legislator after a video surveillance tape showed him passionately kissing another woman.
McAllister apologized for the act caught on tape and said he has fallen short and would like to ask for forgiveness. The tape showed McAllister kissing a staff during a party held last December 23, said DailyMail. The woman was identified to be 33 year old Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock.
Peacock worked as the schedule planner of the state legislator. She was also the wife of McAllister’s friend, reported DailyMail.
On Monday, McAllister issued a statement saying, “There's no doubt I've fallen short and I'm asking for forgiveness. I'm asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff, and my constituents who elected me to serve.”
He added, “Trust is something I know has to be earned whether your a husband, a father, or a congressman. I promise to do everything I can to earn back the trust of everyone I've disappointed.”
