(CNN) ~ A former senior aide to Rep. Blake Farenthold (http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/01/politics/blake-farenthold-sexual-harassment-claim/index.html)has approached the House Ethics Committee to share a damning account of working for the Texas Republican, with the intent of describing the congressman as verbally abusive and sexually demeaning -- and his congressional office as an intensely hostile environment that drove the aide to physical and emotional distress.

Michael Rekola, who was Farenthold's communications director in 2015, described in an interview with CNN new details of the congressman's abusive behavior.

It ranged from making sexually graphic jokes to berating aides -- bullying that Rekola says led him to seek medical treatment and psychological counseling, and at one point, caused him to vomit daily.


One comment from the congressman was especially personal. Rekola was about to leave town to get married in July 2015, when, he said, Farenthold, standing within earshot of other staffers in his Capitol Hill office, said to the groom-to-be: "Better have your fiancée blow you before she walks down the aisle -- it will be the last time."


He then proceeded to joke about whether Rekola's now-wife could wear white on her wedding day -- a clear reference, Rekola said, to whether she had had premarital sex.

*FROM THE DAILY WIRE*



Democratic Seattle Mayor Ed Murray resigned Tuesday after more allegations of child sexual abuse surfaced in what is becoming a disturbing pattern of Democratic politicians involved in crimes and allegations of child sexual abuse — scandals largely ignored by the media.
Murray’s resignation, effective 5 p.m. on Wednesday, comes after a fifth allegation of child sexual abuse surfaced on Tuesday — this time from a family member.
However, Murray’s alleged behavior is not alone; several major Democrats are facing charges or received convictions regarding sexual crimes related to children over the past year.
Perhaps the most well-known example is that of Anthony Weiner, soon to be ex-husband to Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin.
The disgraced Democratic politician has a long history of sexual misconduct which most recently landed him in legal trouble when he became involved in an online sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Weiner pleaded guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor and faces up to ten years in prison — he also must now register as a sex offender.
Jacob Schwartz, 29, was an up-and-coming young Democrat who worked on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s staff until he was arrested (https://nypost.com/2017/05/26/de-blasio-staffer-arrested-for-child-pornography/) in May on child pornography charges in which he allegedly kept more than 3,000 images and 89 videos of pornographic acts committed by children.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) is currently (http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-menendez-trial-20170901-story.html) on trial facing federal corruption charges, which started in 2012 over allegations that he and another man were having sex with underage prostitutes.
The co-owners of backpage.com, a website allegedly directly linked to child prostitution and trafficking, gave lots of money to Democrats recently, including donations to:

David Garcia (http://freebeacon.com/politics/arizona-dem-took-contributions-owner-site-linked-underage-prostitution/) — a Democratic candidate for governor in Arizona
A political action committee backed (http://freebeacon.com/politics/pelosi-backed-pac-took-funds-owner-site-tied-underage-prostitution/) by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
The Arizona State Democratic Executive Committee (http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?201608199022641851)
The Colorado Democratic Party (http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?201603169009768228)
The Democratic Party of New Mexico (http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?15970328768)
Two separate donations (http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?201607190200247271) to Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO)
Two separate donations (http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?14962172019) to Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ)
Convicted sex offender and longtime friend of former Democratic President Bill Clinton, Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was accused in January in a federal lawsuit of luring a woman into “his elaborate sex trafficking enterprise,” the Daily Mail reported (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4164082/Pedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein-accused-new-sex-traffick-case.html). “The lawsuit alleges that Epstein had a compulsive sexual preference for little girls as young as 13-years-old.”
Last week, Democratic Connecticut Councilman Scott Chamberlain was forced (https://nypost.com/2017/09/08/councilman-resigning-after-secret-furry-life-revealed/) to step down after photographs of him allegedly emerged on a private website for “furries,” a weird subculture of people who dress up in furry costumes for sexual gratification.
