Another day, another nasty skeleton crawls out Of Kamala Harris’ closet. Look, it seems like when you turn over any rock these days, there is a Dem caught in a scandal.
The sad fact is the left has a purity test no one can pass, which makes them hypocrites, making any criticism of Trump seem like sour grapes.
Kamala Harris has just begun to feel the heat and the left would be wise to get tough with each other in the primary as Trump will be ruthless.
Look, our system usually rewards the one who wants it the most – the campaign is a grueling 2-year audition and the American people are not dumb.
The left, however, is intolerable and it is hard to see how the metoo movement can square with Kamala Harris after all this.
From The New York Post: The California Department of Justice paid more than $1 million to employees who alleged they faced sexual harassment or workplace retaliation while presidential candidate Kamala Harris was state attorney general, it was reported Friday.
The settlements involved allegations of inappropriate touching or comments as well as other allegations made from 2011 to 2017. They were disclosed this week in response to a state Public Records Act request from the Los Angeles Times.
Harris didn’t know about the cases until the Times brought them to her attention. They were handled by administrators who were expected to follow strict policies against harassment, said Harris’ spokesman, Chris Harris.
However, the Democratic U.S. senator told the Times that she takes responsibility.
“As the chief executive of a department of nearly 5,000 employees, the buck stopped with me,” Harris said in a statement. “No one should face harassment or intimidation in the workplace, and victims of sexual misconduct should be listened to, believed and protected.”
Harris has been a prominent supporter of the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment in the workplace. She was elected to the Senate in 2016 and said any complaints of harassment in her Senate office are forwarded to her immediately.
“No office is immune to misconduct, and there is much more work to do to ensure all are protected,” she told the Times.
In large government agencies, it wouldn’t be unusual for managers to handle harassment claims instead of the agency head except when high-level administrators are involved, said Mike Genest, who was finance director under former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“If a director wasn’t told about it, I would not be suspicious that that was an issue,” said Genest, who spent 24 years as a manager in state agencies.
The largest of the reported settlements was $649,500, paid in 2013 to James Rodriguez, who was a justice department special agent, over allegations that he was denied sought-after jobs and faced other retaliation for reporting alleged harassment against him. In the settlement, the justice department denied all the allegations.
