AG’s Office lawyer resigns after calling #MeToo victim claims ‘pathetic’

Andrew D. Leonie, one of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s top lawyers, stepped down a day after making the post, referencing the nationwide movement of victims sharing their stories of sexual harassment.

“The views he expressed on social media do not reflect our values,” a statement from the Office of the Attorney General said. “The OAG is committed to promoting and maintaining a workplace that is free from discrimination and harassment.”

The Dallas Morning News reported the 2:40 a.m. Facebook post, which has since been taken down, said, “Aren’t you also tired of all the pathetic ‘me too’ victim claims? If every woman is a ‘victim’, so is every man. If everyone is a victim, no one is. Victim means nothing anymore.”

However much he wrote the truth, he should have known better than to use evil FB and post it under his name.

All he had to do is say he left his smart phone unattended while he was working out...

I am sure CNN would believe it. /s

Ditto, he’s right. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they should use some sense as to with whom they share it. Telling it to billions of people probably isn’t the wisest choice.

Gotta agree. It was a really dumb thing to say in this current climate.

It is a shame it is no longer acceptable (almost illegal in fact) to speak truths that every rational person already knows to be the case. There were other societies like this in recent history, and we are going to end up collapsing just as they did.

This is where the #MeOnly campaign is going. It’s STILL political correctness on steroids.

Shame on the Texas AG’s office for cowering before it.

Should we capitulate to the current climate, then?

If you value your job, it is a special kind of stupid to post anything but kumbaya s*** on farcebook, etc...

But he’s absolutely right about the whiny, weak sister “victims”-they are pathetic-they’d faint dead away on a jobsite the minute one of the guys told a dirty joke or just said the view was nice when they were bending over, etc-if you are an equal, you don’t play the woman card-you can’t have it both ways, me too bitches...

Peter Strzok didn’t capitulate. Should he still be on the case? Can’t have it both ways.
