HuffPo Claims Women Were Sexually Harassed During Clinton And Sanders Primary Campaigns

I have to be honest, I was a little surprised to see this as the top headline on the Huffington Post today.

I’ll give them credit were credit is due. I didn’t think HuffPo was capable of admitting when fellow liberals mess up…

I guess they’re realizing that coming after Roy Moore when they completely ignored the fact that their Golden Boy Slick Willy actually RAPED women isn’t getting them where they want to be…

According to the article:

Lilian Adams and Zoey Jordan Salsbury were teenagers when they started working on opposite sides of the 2016 Democratic presidential primary. Adams, then 19, joined Hillary Clinton’s campaign and Salsbury, then 18, joined Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign. They were ready to make the world a better place by helping to elect their candidate.

But each woman says she was sexually harassed by a fellow campaign worker — and that both campaigns were ill-equipped to address the allegations. Their stories show how political campaigns can prey on the same young people who power them with their work and energy.

Even as Adams and Salsbury came forward to tell their stories, each requested that her alleged harasser not be named, citing safety and professional concerns.

It then goes on to retell the specific instances of sexual harassment, and how both campaigns were entirely unequipped… or unwilling…. to do anything about it.

RICH, coming from Hillary… who made her entire campaign about being the biggest PROTECTOR AND HERO of WOMEN.

Also unsurprising… given what she’s done to victims in the past. 

The woman who alleges harassment on the Clinton campaign claims her harasser was fired… only to be rehired by another branch of the Clinton machine:

By August, Adams said she’d lost hope that the harassment would end or that her harasser would finally back away because she wasn’t interested in him. She again reached out to her superiors and asked them to take action. The campaign fired her harasser shortly thereafter. In text messages between Adams and one of her superiors, which were reviewed by HuffPost, they both expressed relief that the problem was over.

But even after her abuser was fired, his work with the party — and the campaign — wasn’t over. In October 2016, Adams said she discovered to her astonishment that he had been rehired the previous month to work on the campaign with a different state party. “So he was technically fired but still ended up working for Hillary via the [other state] Democratic Party,” said Adams.

It was a disappointing turn of events, and one that left Adams deeply disillusioned. “You have a lot of young passionate people who want to help change the world through Democratic politics,” she said. “Older Democratic operatives see this passion and exploit it, putting us in an extremely stressful and unhealthy work environment.”

The allegations against the Sanders campaign are similar.

Like Adams, Salsbury felt helpless to stop the harassment. There was no culture of accountability in the D.C. office of the Sanders campaign, she said, and she didn’t think people would listen to a young volunteer. It was “a culture that didn’t discuss office policies with volunteers or make it clear that harassment wasn’t tolerated,” said Salsbury.

Salsbury did hear from the Sanders campaign after she posted about the incident this month on social media. A former digital media manager reached out to her this past weekend, she said, and on Monday, a Seattle-based lawyer named Bernice Johnson Blessing called her on behalf of the campaign. “It firmly felt like the kind of call you make when you’re trying to feel out if someone has the interest and/or standing to bring a lawsuit,” said Salsbury.

The conversation with the lawyer made her uncomfortable. “It felt like I was being blamed,” she said. She suspects that Sanders plans to run for president again in 2020 and “they’re afraid of me being a roadblock to that.” Blessing did not return a request for comment.

Salsbury’s account isn’t the first allegation of a toxic workplace in the Sanders campaign.

It’s telling that sexual harassment seems to be running rampant everywhere at this point.

HuffPo is admitting it…Meanwhile, Washo is running pieces about how Franken should be immune… because he’s a Democrat.

Yes, really.

So, when will the rest of the liberals start opening their eyes to the issues among their own?
