Another day, another GOP lawmaker caught with his hand in the rainbow cookie jar. This time it’s Illinois GOP state Rep. Nick Sauer.
According to Sauer’s ex-girlfriend, Kate Kelly, the 29-year-old freshman lawmaker used nude photos of her to create a fake Instagram account in order to “catfish” other guys into having “graphic conversations of a sexual nature.”
Politico reports:
According to the complaint filed by ex-girlfriend Kate Kelly with the Office of the Legislative Inspector General and obtained by POLITICO, Sauer used the Instagram account “to catfish other men using my privately shared naked photos. Nick would use this account to direct message men with my photos to engage in graphic conversations of a sexual nature. The men believed they were communicating with me and Nick shared private details of my life.”’
Sauer, who is currently running for re-election to a second term, met Kelly on Tinder a few years back. They had a two year relationship that ended after she found out he had been hooking up with other women.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“The man that I loved and honored for over two years unfortunately did not exist,” she tells Politico. “I quickly realized things wouldn’t change and we stopped talking.”
Kelly says she had no idea Sauer was using her photos on the fake Instagram account until a guy who thought he had been communicating with her reached out.
Politico reports:
The complaint says Kelly’s employer helped her determine how long the fake Instagram account had been in use based on when messages were sent, which was close to the time they had started dating. In her complaint, Kelly writes that Sauer admitted as much. “He came to my house & confessed to catfishing men with my photos for 2 years to at least 8 men. He was unable to provide the names and begged that I let it go,” she wrote.
Kelly contacted Instagram to have the account deactivated.
Ironically, Sauer is a member of the state House Sexual Discrimination and Harassment Task Force. The Chicago Police Department is now investigating the matter.
No charges have been filed against Sauer as of yet. So far, he has not issued any comment on the scandal.
Meanwhile, Illinois House GOP Leader Jim Durkin released the following statement earlier this morning: “The allegations that have come forth against Representative Nick Sauer are troubling. He will be resigning from office today. We should allow the proper authorities to conduct their investigations.”

Another Republican leaving a sour taste in the mouths of the people of Illinois.

He could be legitimately into dudes, but this doesn’t seem to have much to do with orientation, being closeted or affairs as much as someone who’s probably a megalomaniac getting off on pretending to be someone else and getting off on using and manipulating others. Par for the course when it comes to politicians.
shakes_head
Are we looking at the same face or what?
Donston
Yes, the dude has stereotypical “gay face”. And yes, there’s a decent chance he’s an off-his-rocker closeted homo-leaning politician. But I prefer to focus more on the content.
misterjack
Resting Gay Face.
Donston
Yes, I noticed that.
Rock-N-RollHS
Jeez, what the hell is “gay face.” Sounds like a self-hating comment if you ask me.
Donston
It’s not self-hate. It’s actually something that’s been pretty thoroughly researched. A great percentage (though perhaps not most) gay and homo-leaning men have certain distinct facial features: a more angular and/or bigger forehead, more enclosed facial features, a more effeminate smile. It’s not bs or self-hate. It’s a physiological part of many people’s orientation or sense of gender.
However, depending on “gay face” is a mistake. Some men just happen to have those features. While many gay and homo-leaning men don’t have those features at all. And orientation emcompasses too much (romantic, sexual, emotional) to be pinned down by mere physical traits.

He’s got a cute gay face, I’d love to see his nudes.
djmcgamester
I love how he cheated on her with women but then catfished men. I do believe in bisexuality but still find it funny that he was having physical sex with women and cybersex with men all while dating Kelly. Well, at least one more asshole politician is our of politics.
NateOcean
Yeah, but who amongst us hasn’t done this?
Rock-N-RollHS
Totally.
batesmotel
He’s a babe. I’d be happy to oblige his cyber sexual ways.
Celtic
In real time, man on man!!
Italicsmine
He steals her identity, posts nude photos of her, claiming it’s him; and then when he gets caught with his pants down begs her to just “let it go,” Sorry Nick, but your ethics have left a Sauer taste in a lot of mouths.
Virpilosus
What an effing pigscum excuse for a man…nauseating liar and cheat, disassembled, weak, immoral, and spineless.
Tony1129
Well, he got what he deserved, another disgraced politician.

He can catfish me.

I love the opening sentence of this article oh so much.
This dude deserves whatever’s coming to him by the way.
Celtic
I bet he bends over and spreads ’em.
Celtic
Hell, yes! I’d do him. I wonder: Does Rubio have his hands in Sauer’s pants, or does Sauer have his hands in Rubio’s. Or, perhaps they are tag-teaming each other. I’ve been suspicious of Rubio ever since he came on the national stage.
How sad that these Repugnicks simply cannot admit they are queer. The damage they do in the meantime is criminal.
