Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Married Republican, Matt Rosendale, impregnated his 20-year-old aid as he dropped out of the Senate race in Montana.
The office of Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) on Monday threatened to sue former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) for defamation after claiming that Rosendale ended his Senate bid because he got a member of his staff pregnant.
“Just to gossip a little bit, there’s a reason why Rosendale backed out of that Senate race,” Heitkamp said during an interview on the “Talking Feds with Harry Litman” podcast released on Monday. “The rumor is that he impregnated a 20-year-old staff person.”
“With Trump endorsing my opponent and the lack of resources, the hill was just too steep,” Rosendale said in a statement explaining his decision.
Heitkamp is currently the director of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago.
The Post has reached out to a spokesperson for the institute for comment.
“This is 100% false and defamatory and former Senator Heitkamp will be hearing from our lawyers soon,” Ron Kovach, a spokesperson for Rosendale, said in an email statement.
Heitkamp also suggested during the podcast interview that Rosendale might soon step down from his House seat.
Rosendale, who is married and has three children, backed out of his Senate bid on Feb. 15, less than a week after entering the race to challenge Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) — citing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of his GOP primary opponent, former Navy SEAL and businessman Tim Sheehy.
