    So Arizona GOP Rep. Trent Franks will be resigning.
    That's what sources are saying this afternoon, because: inappropriate behavior.
    No more than that at this point. He'll be making a statement soon.

    Till then, any guesses as to why this resignation might be happening?

    =======================
    AP sources: Conservative Arizona Rep. Trent Franks resigning

    "Two Republican consultants say Arizona GOP Rep. Trent Franks is resigning from Congress.

    Neither of the GOP strategists said they knew why the eight-term lawmaker was leaving. But his departure was abrupt, and one of the consultants said the 60-year-old Franks was resigning Thursday

    He left the House floor Thursday after being consoled by several other Republicans, including Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, Alabama's Robert Aderholt and fellow Arizonan Andy Biggs.

    Franks has been a member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus.

    He's a staunch social conservative who sponsored House-passed legislation to make it a crime for any person to perform an abortion if the age of the fetus is 20 weeks or more."

    This is all about him talking about finding a new wife for his kids.

    Maybe he was advertising.

    Maybe it's just political.
