Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Matt Rosendale’s career has been disrupted by an unplanned pregnancy on Talking Feds podcast.
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.
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.
