Missouri House speaker resigning after intern text messages

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri House Speaker John Diehl said Thursday that he is resigning from the Legislature after acknowledging that he exchanged sexually suggestive text messages with a college student serving as a Capitol intern.

Diehl said he is stepping down both from his House speaker's position and from his elected job as a Republican representative from suburban St. Louis. Diehl's resignation is expected to become official Friday, when a successor can take over.

Diehl acknowledged "making a serious error in judgment by sending the text messages" to the intern, who no longer works at the Capitol.

"I'm going to do what's best for the (House) body and the (Republican) caucus, and step aside out of my office," Diehl said in an interview with The Associated Press and reporters from three other media outlets.

"I made a mistake," Diehl said. "It's one that calls into question my ability to lead."

His resignation announcement came a day after The Kansas City Star released a story accompanied by screenshots of what the newspaper said were electronic messages between Diehl and the intern. Some of the messages were sexually suggestive.

Affair Between GOP Lawmaker and College Intern Outed by Flirty Texts
by Tina Nguyen | 3:16 pm, May 13th, 2015

It’s a tale as old as time: powerful old politician dude allegedly strikes up affair with nubile college intern. But this time, thanks to the Kansas City Star, we have texts of the entire thing. Oh, modernity.

Earlier this spring, Missouri Southern State University abruptly ended its legislative internship program, pulling all four of its students out of their internships in the state capitol and reassigning them to law offices or political action groups. Though the university could not comment on the reason they ended the program due to student privacy laws, the Star gathered enough evidence to suggest that one of their students was having an affair with the state’s Republican Speaker of the House, John Diehl.

The Star somehow got their hands on screenshots of iMessage chats between the married Diehl and the unnamed intern. And what a steamy (read: completely, boringly typical) affair they allegedly had!

Her: “You better take care of me.”
Diehl: “Like how?”
Her: “I’ll bet you’ll figure it out.”
Diehl: “I dunno. You have always been disappointed;)”
Her: “I just have high expectations, I guess. Thus far, you’ve done pretty well (an emoji blows a kiss)”
Diehl: “Smile. I kinda want to hear what you are expecting”
Then, shortly after, he types: “You will be in good hands Smile
At one point Diehl texts her “God I want you right now,” to which she replies “I wish you could have me right now.”
In another exchange, she sends a picture of herself in a bikini and Diehl responds: “Damn girl …”
“Nice”
Shortly after he writes: “I want to see more” followed by a smiling emoji.
Another exchange centered on Diehl texting that he was “Laying in bed looking at your pic Smile
She responded: “Mmmmm why can’t I be there Smile

The Star also confirmed that the screenshots, apparently sent to others, originated from the intern’s phone, which confirms that interns are dumb and it’s a bad idea to conduct secret affairs with them. Or with anybody! Cheating on your spouse is bad! But it’s monumentally dumb to have an affair with an indiscrete young person who will screencap your flirty texts and send them to their besties.
