<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Congressman Jeff Duncan is estranged from his wife Melody [left] who filed for divorce on Friday alleging he has carried out multiple affairs behind her back. The allegations fly in the face of thew reputation of Duncan as <strong>a champion of &#8216;traditional family values&#8217; </strong> </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A GOP congressman from South Carolina, who touts &#8216;traditional family values&#8217; as a core political tenet has left his wife after multiple alleged affairs. Ironically Rep Jeff Duncan has declared himself a &#8216;family values&#8217; candidate who backs &#8216;traditional marriage.&#8217;<br>Duncan&#8217;s alleged dalliances were revealed by Melody Duncan, his wife of 25 years and mother of his three children, as she filed for divorce from the GOP lawmaker in a Laurens County courthouse on Friday. <br>The court filings alleged that the outspoken Republican, a self proclaimed &#8216;conservative&#8217; who claims on <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://jeffduncan.house.gov/issues/social-issues" target="_blank">his congressional page</a> that he is &#8216;a strong advocate for life and traditional family values&#8217;, carried out one of the affairs with a Washington DC lobbyist, named as Liz Williams in the document. <br>Duncan is now believed to be living with Williams. <br>The news of the alleged adultery comes just weeks after Governor of North Dakota Kristi Noem, another hardline Republican who was even floated as a potential running mate for Donald Trump, was caught in allegedly cheating on her husband with Trump advisor Corey Lewandoswki. Noem and Lewandoswki are both married.</p>

<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Duncan celebrated the birth of his first grandchild in February, posing beside his wife Melody before making a speech on the House floor about his &#8216;excitement&#8217; at the addition to his family</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Friday&#8217;s filing, Duncan made no secret of his affair with Williams in Washington social circles, and may have even quietly moved in with her according, to his estranged wife.<br>&#8216;(Duncan) has admitted to (Melody) that he has an ongoing sexual relationship,&#8217; with Williams, the filing claims. <br>The court statement added that the Duncan further admitted to the &#8216;adulterous relationship to many other people, including the parties&#8217; sons and members of his staff.&#8217; </p>

<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>All may not have been rosy in the family despite the portrait painted by GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan, seen earlier this year [photo], announcing the birth of his first grandchild on the floor of the House of Representatives </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In one instance alleged by Melody, it was claimed that as recently as August 28 Duncan was touting his &#8216;loving&#8217; marriage to his wife when he hosted conservative fundraiser &#8216;Faith and Freedom BBQ.&#8217; <br>A day later, however, the filing claims he &#8216;went directly to the home of his paramour, Liz Williams. where [his wife], is informed and believes he continues to reside.&#8217; <br>Just four months before, Duncan celebrated the birth of his first grandchild, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://whosonthemove.com/congressman-jeff-duncan-and-wife-melody-announce-birth-of-first-grandchild/" target="_blank">posing next to Melody</a> as he cradled the child before <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7yGDSTyZeQ" target="_blank">making a speech</a> in the House of Representatives about the addition to his family. </p>

<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The six-term House member, seen posing with an Ivermectin can as he arrives at the Capitol in February 2022, fashioned a reputation as a hardline Republican in his 12 years as a congressman. That image is now in jeopardy after his estranged wife filed for divorce citing philandering </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8216;[Melody] is informed and believes that [Duncan&#8217;s], extramarital relationship(s) is/are widely known in political circles of South Carolina and Washington D.C,&#8217; the divorce petition adds. <br>Homing in on perceived hypocrisy, Duncan&#8217;s facade as a &#8216;family values&#8217; Republican is highlighted in the divorce petition, with Melody claiming her husband has crafted a narrative that his marriage was cold and loveless to &#8216;justify the hypocrisy of his public statements and private actions.&#8217;<br>For instance Duncan has opposed same-sex marriage, despite reportedly flouting his own &#8216;sacred&#8217; vows on numerous occasions.<br>Furthermore the divorce petition alleges that the liaison with Williams is not the end of his philandering. Duncan is accused of having &#8216;an extramarital relationship with at least one other woman&#8217;. <br>Her divorce proceedings are seeking alimony payments, and exclusive possession and use of their marital home and their home in Montana. </p>

<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The divorce filing calls out the hypocrisy of Duncan, seen [praying on the floor of the Republican National Convention], whose facade as a &#8216;family values&#8217; Republican in public statements, who &#8216;has made faith a central part of his political identity&#8217;, is in sharp contrast with his actions in private life</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She is also requesting Duncan be solely responsible for any of their debts, medical expenses, attorney and legal fees, and maintenance of hers and their children&#8217;s health insurance. <br>Duncan who has represented South Carolina&#8217;s 3rd Congressional District since 2011, is up for re-election next year. In his time in the House, he has become an outspoken conservative who&#8217;s Faith and Freedom BBQ noted in his divorce filing has grown to become a key fundraiser and speech opportunity for Republican leaders. <br>In 2021, the keynote address was given by fellow conservative Kristi Noem, with Duncan saying at the time he offered the opportunity to boost her national profile as a future GOP leader.<br>But just weeks before his own alleged scandal, Noem saw her reputation as a staunch &#8216;family values&#8217; GOP politician, devastated by allegations she had been carrying out a years-long affair with Lewandowski.</p>
