Another abuser bites the dust

Dem Kihuen was told he should resign by Nancy Pelosi

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called for yet another one of her Democratic colleagues to resign after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced Friday against Rep. Ruben Kihuen.
The first-term Nevada Democrat had been considered a young rising star within his party. But his rise appeared to have been derailed by a report in BuzzFeed that he repeatedly made advances toward a campaign staffer and touched her thigh without her consent.
“In Congress, no one should face sexual harassment in order to work in an office or in a campaign. The young woman’s documented account is convincing, and I commend her for the courage it took to come forward,” Mrs. Pelosi said in a statement.
“In light of these upsetting allegations, Congressman Kihuen should resign,” she said.
It’s the second time in 48 hours that Mrs. Pelosi told one of her own members to leave Congress.
On Thursday, just days after defending Rep. John Conyers Jr., Mrs. Pelosi reversed herself and said she now believed his accusers and he should resign.

I wonder how many of the older Congress-critters are going to elect to not run for reelection now that sexual harassment is frowned upon. The culture on the Hill has been highly sexualized for decades.

"Made advaces and touched her thigh?" Wow how many yeears of therapy will she need to overcome the horror? LOL Good grief . Also for an ex-cop you seem to consider accusations to automatically= guilt.

So far we only know one for sure - Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX27). Hopefully we get the full list soon.

IMO - the list needs to be released today and then every member on that list needs to resign.

[Ethereal]

How many politicians throughout history must be exposed as insane, murderous, perverted, etc. before people stop tolerating their position within society?

I think this HYSTERIA has gone BAT SHIT CRAZY!

Whatever happened to the "touchy-feely" values of the Hippie generation? Is a hug permitted anymore?

This is crazy!

OK, well your opinion appears to assume guilt from accusation .

touched her thigh without her consent.

That's about the dumbest thing I've read. If touching someone's thigh is harassment or whatever, we're all in trouble. That's just plain stupid
