Sexual Harassment in Hillary and Bernie Campaign Organizations

Workers on Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders Campaigns Claim Sexual Harassment

by Adam Shaw17 Nov 20175,868
Campaign workers on the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders Democratic 2016 presidential campaigns alleged in a report published Friday that they were harassed while campaigning for their respective candidates and that the campaigns failed to address the claims properly — the latest sexual misconduct revelations to rock the Democratic Party.

Lilian Adams, a Clinton campaign worker, and Zoey Jordan Salsbury, who worked for the Sanders primary campaign, both told HuffPost that they were sexually harassed by fellow campaign workers and that the campaigns were “ill-equipped” to cope.

Adams, who relocated to Colorado to work for the campaign as a paid organizer, said she was subject to homophobic remarks (Adams is bisexual) which went on to comments about her body and attempts to force her into one-on-one situations and get her to drink alcohol. Adams, then 19, said her harasser also encouraged her not to wear bras.

While her abuser was eventually fired months after Adams first complained to superiors in June, he was reportedly later rehired in October to work on the campaign for a different state party, leaving her disillusioned. Clinton made the fair-and-equal treatment of women a central part of her campaign as the first woman to win the presidential nomination for a major political party.

“You have a lot of young passionate people who want to help change the world through Democratic politics,” Adams said. “Older Democratic operatives see this passion and exploit it, putting us in an extremely stressful and unhealthy work environment.”

However, she said she did not blame Clinton herself:

“When I criticize the Hillary campaign, I am not criticizing her,” she told HuffPost. “She was actually a source of inspiration during the hard days.”

Salsbury, who worked as a volunteer as president of American University Students for Bernie, told HuffPost a campaign intern made unwanted advances, but the campaign had no structure to deal with issues among volunteers. In her account, she blasted “a culture that didn’t discuss office policies with volunteers or make it clear that harassment wasn’t tolerated.” She was 18 at the time of the alleged harassment.

She said she was contacted by a Sanders campaign lawyer this week, but the conversation made her uncomfortable, treating her as if she was a “roadblock” to a possible 2020 run for the Vermont socialist.

“It firmly felt like the kind of call you make when you’re trying to feel out if someone has the interest and/or standing to bring a lawsuit,” she said.

Clinton aides did not respond to HuffPost, while Sanders told the outlet he does “not tolerate sexual harassment” in his Senate office or on his campaigns. However, his office admitted that volunteers were not given information on detailing harassment reporting process and that that will change in the future.

The allegations are the latest sexual misconduct claims to rock the Democratic Party and come a day after a picture emerged of Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) groping a journalist on a two-week USO tour in 2006. The journalist, Leeann Tweeden, also claimed that before that picture Franken had kissed her during a skit rehearsal without her consent.

Franken apologized for his actions, although he said he remembers the rehearsal differently to Tweeden. Franken called for the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate his actions after coming under heavy fire from both Republicans and Democrats.

Bernie Goes Rogue on Donks

Fun: Bernie Sanders Lambasts Democrats in NYC Church

Well, he rolled over and became part of the Donk election fiasco.

Good. That Will Stop Them.

Philadelphia looks to avoid mass arrests of DNC protesters

Yep, that $100 fine will shut down Bernie's Socialistas. They're only good for $27 each.

Bernie and the Coming Kristallnacht

Bernie Sanders states the obvious:

Dems' new fear: Sanders revolt could upend Democratic convention

"But Sanders' statement Tuesday was defiant, saying that the Democratic Party "has a choice: It can open its doors and welcome into the party" his backers or "maintain its status quo."

"At (the Nevada) convention, the Democratic leadership used its power to prevent a fair and transparent process from taking place," said Sanders, adding that there have been "zero reports" of violence during his massive rallies across the country."

The Sanders Sandernistas don't attack themselves; they're not THAT stupid. No. They attack their opponents, Trump and Hillary, and they draw blood. They are typical Socialist Radical revolutionaries, for whom no means is a barrier to their proposed end: conquest. Both Hillary and Trump have experienced their violence. More to come.

Bernie {Hearts} Breadlines

Bernie Sanders, Atheist Jew

Why Bernie Sanders doesn’t participate in organized religion

Sanders said he believes in God, though not necessarily in a traditional manner.

“I think everyone believes in God in their own ways,” he said. “To me, it means that all of us are connected, all of life is connected, and that we are all tied together.”

[...]

When late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel asked Sanders in October whether be believes in God and if that matters to the American people, the senator seemed to avoid a direct response:

“I am what I am,” he said. “And what I believe in, and what my spirituality is about, is that we’re all in this together.”

[...]

“He often talks about ‘the ethical thing to do,’ ” said Gutman, “and his ethics are shaped by a concern for social justice and for other human beings that is part of a Judeo-Christian tradition.”

Larry Sanders sums up his brother’s views this way: “He is quite substantially not religious.”

Those statements are a) not about deity, b) not about spirituality, and c) are strictly about Sanders' communalism, which he is in the process of gaining access to his lessors for application to them. And Social Justice, as is now practiced by proto-totalitarians, is not part of the Judeo-Christian tradition. His "ethics" are of his own construction, as are all Atheist "ethics".

“I am motivated by a vision which exists in all of the great religions — in Christianity, in Judaism, in Islam, Buddhism and other religions — and which is so beautifully and clearly stated in Matthew 7:12,” Sanders said. “And it states: ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets.’ 

This attempt to assert an appeal to "all the great religions", is a phony cover for the totalitarian, top down control of the populace which is the reality of socialism. Sanders is lying (he's a politician). When an Atheist appeals to religious principles, especially by claiming commonality of all religions, he is not honestly revealing his own Atheist, non-religious aspirations. I.e., he is lying by conventional standards, although not by his own standards, which actually are ungrounded, personally derived by personal moral authority, with personal proclivities redefined as "ethics".

Let's revisit the meaning behind the "do unto others..." ethic, as viewed by an Atheist Communalist. First, Sanders wants to live under socialism, perhaps even communism (given the history of his past). Therefore, this ethic means to Sanders that he should "do socialism unto others, as he would have others do socialism unto himself". This is a corruption of the meaning of the specific ethic which is usually understood to mean that personal autonomy should be respected, not destroyed.

But the popularity of Sanders, even in the face of the collapse of almost all socialist regimes and the vicious conditions in which the subjects of socialism are forced to live, indicates that ignorance and/or the pursuit of slovenly anti-intellectualism is rising in the USA. Not to mention the overwhelming desire to force everyone to be as ignorant and slovenly anti-intellectual as are they.

Bernie Sandinista, Exposed

Bernie the Revolutionary:

"In July 1985, Bernie Sanders traveled to Nicaragua, where he attended an event that one wire report dubbed an “anti-U.S. rally.”

The leftist Sandinista government was celebrating the sixth anniversary of the revolution that saw it take power from an American-backed dictator, Anastasio Somoza. Sanders was in a crowd estimated at a half million people, many of whom were clad in the Sandinistas’ trademark red-and-black colors and chanting “Here, there, everywhere/the Yankee will die.”

[...]

“I think from one end of this country to the other, people are ripe for political revolution. Fifty percent of the people do not bother voting in the presidential and statewide elections,” Sanders said. “The vast majority of those not voting are low-income people who have given up on America. The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
