In April 2018, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand urged Senate leaders to pass her bipartisan Congressional Harassment Reform Act. "Congress has a sexual harassment problem -- and isn't taking it seriously," Gillibrand wrote in Fortune magazine. "If we can't clean up our own act, how can anyone expect Congress to do the right thing for victims and survivors in the rest of the country? Congress has to do better. I believe that elected officials should be held to the highest ethical standard -- not the lowest."
Just a few months later, when a woman in her own office reported that a married male staffer was making repeated, unwanted and increasingly aggressive sexual advances toward her, Gillibrand did not do the right thing and fire him.
Politico reported that "less than three weeks after reporting the alleged harassment and subsequently claiming that the man retaliated against her for doing so, the woman told chief of staff Jess Fassler that she was resigning because of the office's handling of the matter."

Clinton's bad, she said, Franken bad, she said, not sure what she said about Justin Fairfax, but I can't believe it matters to anyone what her lying ass says at this point. Thanks knighthawk.
Senate harridans screamed their disgust. Ordered men to shut up and believe women who have been sexually abused.
FRONTPAGE.COM——”When I had the courage to speak up about my harasser, I was belittled by her office and treated like an inconvenience, the woman said of Gillibrand in an interview. She kept a harasser on her staff until it proved politically untenable for her to do so.
Another women staffer said Gillibrand’s employee, Malik, a Muslim, often called her fat and unattractive to her face and made light of sexual abuse.
She recalled one instance in which Muslim Malik remarked that a particular woman they were talking about couldnt get laid unless she was raped.
The person did not report that behavior at the time but now says she wishes she had.
Two more staffers who worked for Gillibrand said the womans claims of Maliks inappropriate workplace behavior matched their own experiences.
They said Malik regularly made misogynistic jokes, frequently appraised what they wore, disparaged the looks of other female staffers and rated the attractiveness of women who came in for interviews.
Gillibrands office acknowledged it found evidence that Malik had made unspecified inappropriate comments and revoked his expected promotion, which would have come with a raise. It also moved his desk and gave him a final warning.
This was not the first time the senators top aides dealt with an allegation of bad behavior by Malik: According to a firsthand witness of an incident in 2015, Malik confronted a fellow aide in the office.
He got in the mans face, pushed his desk and threatened to f***ing hurt him, the witness said, describing the confrontation as violent.
And Obama Hillary’s ABCNNBCBS national press corpse remains silent. Deliberately silent.
I'm starting to see why dems are starting to go the route of ‘casting calls’ to pick and choose candidates rather than allowing ‘self selection’...
What a horrible roster of candidates on the democrat side...
What did I just post in another article? That you can bank on the fact that accusers from the left are ALWAYS much worse excuses for human beings than the people they accuse. I could cut and paste that all the live long day!
