New Sexual Harassment Scandal at the Capitol
Two of the House Leadership Team Might Lose Their Seats
Will House Leadership Whitewash Everything?
Back in January 2017 Rep. Dan Kirby was thrown under the bus in an effort orchestrated by others including another state rep named Randy Grau that was alleged to have actually had an affair with one of the "victims". The other case against Kirby was a somewhat consensual relationship. Also dragged in was William Fourkiller, a Democrat, was also accused of making someone uncomfortable, he denied the accusations, and accepted sanctions. Kirby was forced to resign pretty much. Kirby of course was pretty much conservative, House leadership needed someone to throw under the bus and Kirby was their boy.
So it is going to be interesting how House leadership treats two of their own leadership team members once two or more sexual harassment cases are filed. Especially with an election coming up and anyone bashing women for coming forward isn't going to endear themselves with half of the voting population. In order to protect the women involved we aren't going to run with the full story but we do need to get people talking about the issue. It seems there is another woman that was also sexually harassed by one of the two perverts and she isn't aware of the other victims.
It is said that women feel dirty when a pervert sexually harasses them and are reluctant to come forward due to the stigma. I can see that and understand it, why did the pervert pick on them in particular? One answer is that some men are just not in control of themselves and when the little head starts thinking the big head starts rationalizing and fantasizing and they pick on the easiest targets, especially ones that they think are approachable. . Perhaps this other woman will come forward once she knows she isn't the only one victimized.
Last time House leadership tried to bury the scandal including the payout to the woman that filed the complaint. With the lawyer's fees, it was around $75,000 in payouts for that one case.
And the Kavanaugh case, well this is night and day. Full details, squeaky clean victims, normal people that will take a risk in stepping forward. Which is why dirt bags like this continue to target women in the workplace, because so many get away with it.
Hopefully not this time.
Hopefully House Leadership will cut out the cancer to save themselves and what is left of the Republican reputation at the Capitol.
