Ms. Grimes filed a pay discrimination case against the Federal Housing Finance Agency last August, seeking $1 million in addition to back pay, lost wages and other damages. In her filing, she alleges that rejections of Watt’s sexual advances were “directly related” to her not getting pay equity.

Former Democrat Congressman Watt Watt refused to participate in an internal probe, arguing that as the presidentially appointed director, he was not an “employee” subject to the agency’s anti-harassment rules for employees.

Watt praised the results of the investigation while simultaneously denying the allegations made by Ms. Grimes.

The best two sentences were the last two:

1. Watt, a Democrat, represented Charlotte from 1993 to 2014 in the U.S. House. Before that, Watt served one term in the N.C. Senate and worked a campaign manager for former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt.

2. President Barack Obama appointed Watt to oversee the Federal Housing Finance Agency in 2013 and took over in 2014.

“And, in my view, it’s time for me to ride off into the sunset because the standards have become so confused that it’s difficult to operate in them.”

REALLY? What a Putz. Yes, because now that we’re all CONFUSED, it’s hard to know Right from Wrong? How did people EVER do that in the past, I wonder?

But, he makes a valid point: Black is White, Up is Down, It’s not REALLY a Baby in your womb, You can Be ANY ‘sex’ you want! Blah, blah, blah!

Thanks, Democrat Party! *SPIT*

arguing that as the presidentially appointed director

That was President Obama, not President Trump in case anyone is wondering.

Second to last paragraph finally reveals he’s a DemocRAT. Were he a Republican, it would have been mentioned in the headline.
