In the course of his time at ABC News, journalist and co-author of Game Change, Mark Halperin, sexually harassed multiple women, according to report released Wednesday night which cites five women who claim to have endured the harassment.
"During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me," Halperin said in a statement obtained by CNN. "I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I'm going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation."
The harassment accusations uncovered by CNN allege Halperin propositioned employees for sex, kissed, and grabbed co-workers' breasts against their will and pressed his erect penis against them while clothed without their consent. Halperin denies grabbing a woman's breasts and pressing his genitals against three of the women.
Halperin, widely known in Washington for his political reporting career, has previously served as political director at ABC News, co-authored the bestselling book Game Change, which HBO picked up and made into a movie, and hosted a political analysis show on Bloomberg TV.
"For the last 11 years, I have had to watch this guy find success in every other news organization," one of the anonymous women who said she experienced harassment told CNN.
In 2011, Halperin made headlines after he was suspended from MSNBC for saying former President Barack Obama came off as "a dick" on "Morning Joe." His suspension was lifted after about a month.
The veteran journalist is currently an analyst for NBC News and co-host of Showtime's "The Circus."
Apologies are not enough! Only cash will make the hurt go away.
Winning!
...think I'll go eat worms.

Compare that to the ugly things they say about Trump every day....
Being sexually harassed is *totally* in vogue and fashionable nowadays. The old fad use to be adopting designer black babies from Africa, but that is SO passe! Now it’s being sexually harassed. If you haven’t been sexually harassed then you are just not hip baby!
So right. Trump is called everything on a daily basis, from a Nazi to a pschopath by the media, but if The One, The Messiah of all humanity, B. Hussein peace be upon him, was called a name *GASP* to the gallows with that person!!!!
I wonder how much $ Lisa bloom offered this time. Hopefully it’s more than the $200k offered to the Trump accusing bimbos.
John 8:7 He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone
Me too!
I doubt they’re talking about this on Morning Joe today.

Last night I sexually harassed myself just so I could be part of the fashionable #metoo crowd. I feel like one of the cool kids now.
I’ll have to review his comments on the Trump Access Hollywood tape back when it broke. I bet there was quite a bit of holier-than-thou hypocrisy. It’s no surprise that so many of these libs live in glass houses.
This is the former leftist Nation writer and I think editor who joined the Lamestream not so long ago.
A true leftist POS
Agreed, but these seem to be legitimate claims. The dirtbag admits it.
I doubt they’re talking about this on Morning Joe today.
I notice Hugh Hewitt isnt mentioning Halperin’s problems either. He is a periodic guest on his radio gig. Maybe he will get to that. We shall see
He was doing the Bill Clinton “torpedo pants” routine, with full frontal assaults.
He’s gotta go.
Some many women are making this charge against so many men, that it’s losing its meaning. All men are *harassers* and all women are *victims*.
And it’s doing a disservice to women everywhere who have indeed been genuinely sexually harassed somewhere.
The left’s covert war on women! REVEALED! LOL!
