Republicans Gone Wild! Two GOP Named In Divorce Papers

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) and Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) were named in McCormick's divorce papers after alleged hanky panky. Yet another scandal involving Republicans and sex. At least this time it didn't involve a ménage à trois and all the tittering that inspired.

After 12 years of marriage and less than two years into his congressional career, Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick has filed for divorce from his oncologist wife Dr. Debra Miller.

The case was filed by McCormick on May 3. A mutual restraining order was also filed, DailyMail.com exclusively reports.

McCormick, 55, and Miller, his second wife, share seven children and live in Suwanee, Georgia. When approached about the reasoning for the divorce, Miller texted DailyMail.com: 'I'm sure that he will not be forthcoming.'

Capitol Hill insiders say McCormick has often been seen acting overly friendly toward a female Republican member of the House Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas.

One GOP member told DailyMail.com they had seen McCormick and and Van Duyne, 53, 'holding hands under the table' at the weekly Republican Study Committee lunch within the last three to four months and had seen him 'grab the small of her back' on the House floor during votes.
