Powerful White House official — and Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’ — is a #MeToo nightmare with claims of bullying, sexual harassment
New York Post ^ | 03/12/2024 | Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — A top Biden White House official has bullied and verbally sexually harassed colleagues over more than a decade, The Post has learned — but is considered “untouchable” because first lady Jill Biden regards him as her “work husband.”

Anthony Bernal, whose status as the first lady’s top aide grants him enormous clout in both White House operations and Democratic politics, has repeatedly speculated in the workplace about the penis size of colleagues, according to three sources with firsthand knowledge.

Two sources said Bernal, 50, shared with them a theory that the size of a person’s thumb corresponds to that of their genitalia — citing the hypothesis both at the White House and in prior roles during President Biden’s campaign and vice presidency under President Barack Obama.

“It is to make people uncomfortable and to have power over them,” said one source who told The Post they heard Bernal make the crude remarks over several years while they worked together.

“It is Me Too — classic Me Too,” the source added.

A second source recounted hearing Bernal speculate “often” inside the White House about the endowments of fellow political aides and even Secret Service agents.

A third source recalled a disparaging “jab” during a workplace disagreement in which Bernal said a colleague had a small penis, as well as a separate encounter in which the top aide “remarked on another staffer’s bulge in his khakis.”

Why does the presidential bed warmer need a chief of staff?

That kind of thought is something only an aggressive gay guy would do.

My thumbs are a good three inches….,uh, I mean six inches long.


Actually, folding your middle finger down against your palm, marking where the tip of the finger is, then re-extending it straight provides an accurate measure.

In sum, hand and finger size/length is an accurate indicator.

The guy has no wikipedia page, and a search comes up empty on his marital status. If he isn't a homo, then he may be banging Dr. Jill, because it's unlikely she gets anything from Joe. And there's no mention as to the sexual harassment claims, whether it's males or females being harassed. This guy appears to be obsessed with the size of mens' penises.

For someone that is so close to the First Couple, the secrecy surrounding this guy speaks loudly.

The NY Post photo shows a different person than the photo you’ve shared.

From the article: “I have heard him say inappropriate things about people’s sexuality or pry inappropriately into people’s personal lives,” one former co-worker recalled of Bernal, who is openly gay.”

Why exactly does JILL Biden need a “Senior Advisor”

I think we all know the answer to that question.

Does anyone really think that Jill Biden isn’t catching it somewhere?

“ The first lady’s office did not dispute that she refers to Bernal, who is openly gay, as her “work husband.”

https://nypost.com/2024/02/26/us-news/jill-biden-says-shes-in-work-marriage-with-overbearing-aide-anthony-bernal-book/amp/

He sounds toxic. But, it also sounds like there’s perv behavior surrounding 46 and his administration.

“ The 81-year-old commander-in-chief is fond of telling aides in the West Wing that the key to a successful marriage is “good sex,” according to a new book.”

That is inappropriate.

I have wondered what the deal is with gays as I always heard that they treat women better than straight men do. Anyone here have any insights on this?

And? What’s your point? You don’t think that a gay man will have sex with a woman? What world do you live in?
