In light of the calls for Moore to remove himself from the campaign because "he's not fit to be a Senator"
oh this is sweet. Start emailing Ryan's office and tell him to stick his opinion on Moore where the sun doesn't freaking shine.
Ditto McConnell, McCain, Gardner and anyone else who has condemned Moore without an investigation.
How Congress plays by different rules on sexual harassment and misconduct
from the article.
Congress makes its own rules about the handling of sexual complaints against members and staff, passing laws exempting it from practices that apply to other employers.
The result is a culture in which some lawmakers suspect harassment is rampant. Yet victims are unlikely to come forward, according to attorneys who represent them.
Under a law in place since 1995, accusers may file lawsuits only if they first agree to go through months of counseling and mediation. A special congressional office is charged with trying to resolve the cases out of court.
When settlements do occur, members do not pay them from their own office funds, a requirement in other federal agencies. Instead, the confidential payments come out of a special U.S. Treasury fund.
