the minimum wage increase for millions of workers.
Isn't this a clear cut case of what republican values really are?

I'd say that it doesn't speak well for his character.
Oh, wait a minute, we're talking Louisiana politics aren't we? Hmmm... Maybe not, after all. It takes either a live boy or a dead hooker in your bed in LA to remove a politician from office down there. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Do you mean republicans want to pay a person what there services are worth rather than a minimum wage set by the government?
Like a previous answerer I don't see the connection between prositution and the minimum wage. Unless, you mean with a higher wage more people could afford prosititues. But then, prostitutes wages would likely rise if the minimum wage went up.

I do not see the correlation here. How is it that the wage increase, which had to be put into the War appropriation bill to get passed, and the senator's fling have in common?
