Opinion | Capitol Hill has a sexual harassment problem
Just like Hollywood, Congress admits they have a sexual predator problem. And just like Hollywood they are very selective as to who will suffer as a result. They are either too scared or have other reasons to let others evade justice.
In Hollywood, Harvey is thrown under the bus but many more are out there. Those in Hollywood will even tell you as much. And just like in Hollywood, the likes of Mitch McConnell are calling for Moore to step down, but not Al Franken.
Disgusting.
A recent survey of congressional staff by CQ Roll Call found that 4 in 10 female respondents believed sexual harassment is a problem in Congress. This number surprised us — and not because it seems high. As one former staffer wrote to us: “I’m shocked it’s only 40 percent. It’s so widespread and endemic.”
