Nov. 17, 2017-from Politico:

"Three former aides to Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) told Politico that the congresswoman ignored complaints from them about her chief of staff’s treatment of women.

The three unnamed ex-staffers, who are all women, told Politico that they did not use the term “sexual harassment” when speaking to Lawrence about their concerns, but said that they told the congresswoman that women in the office were not comfortable around Dwayne Duron Marshall and that he treated women differently than he did male staffers. One aide told Politico that she told the congresswoman about “inappropriate” comments and physical contact from Marshall. The aides said that Marshall often commented on female staffers’ appearance, and one aide said that Marshall would come up behind her and start rubbing her shoulders, per Politico.

Lawrence denied to Politico that she received any sexual harassment complaints

Meh. I think we’re all better off if Brenda Lawrence plays Candy Crush all day.

I don’t blame her. If I had been a congressional rep during Obama’s SOTU speeches, I would have had my nose stuck to my phone reading FreeRepublic.

Pelosi should have followed that lead.

It would have been better than her face fidgets, seemingly on the verge of explosion.

(WHICH, with all of her botox injections requires extraordinary stimulus)

I thought they weren’t supposed to bring in their cell phones. Further proof demonrats don’t follow the rules.

She was just shooting her mouth off the other day about something, I only remember because I’d never heard of her before. And no, I didn’t have to look.

And you probably won't hear a word about it in the Democrat American press. Imagine if a republican did this during Osama’s reign.

Playing the mindless game doesn’t bother me. I often work a sudoku play electronic solitaire while listening to an audio book. They actually help me to concentrate on the speaker. But texting and emails? Those are different.

Why listen? Her orders were to sit on her hands and scowl. There is no need to pay attention if you’re just going to reject everything.
