Rep. Steve Cohen’s troubles continued on Thursday, after he told RealClearPolitics reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns, “You’re very attractive, but I’m not talking about it,” in response to questions about a paternity test that revealed he was not the father of a woman he believed to be his daughter.
Cohen, D-Tenn., made the remark and then quickly apologized:

In February, Cohen revealed that a 24-year-old woman, whom he had been tweeting with during the State of the Union, was not a secret girlfriend as many had assumed after he deleted the tweets, but a daughter he had only known about for three years. A paternity test conducted for a CNN report on Thursday revealed that Cohen is, in fact, not the woman’s father. Cohen said he was “stunned and dismayed” to learn about the DNA test.
