Bernie Sanders staffers seek to address ‘predatory culture’ during 2016 campaign: report By New York Post, Chris Perez | FILE 2018, photo, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks about his new book, 'Where We Go From Here: Two Years in the Resistance' in Washington. (AP) More than two dozen people who worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign have called for a meeting with the senator and his top aides — saying there’s been talk in recent weeks about a “predatory culture” that developed while he was running. The former staff members sent Sanders and his principal campaign committee a letter, which was published online Sunday by POLITICO, citing an “untenable and dangerous dynamic” that they hope to “pre-empt” in the “upcoming presidential cycle.” The men and women requested a meeting in person “to discuss the issue of sexual violence and harassment” — but didn’t describe any specific incidents or accusations. “In recent weeks there has been an ongoing conversation on social media, in texts, and in person, about the untenable and dangerous dynamic that developed during our campaign,” their letter says. “We the undersigned request a meeting with Senator Sanders and his leadership team … for the purpose of planning to mitigate the issue in the upcoming presidential cycle — both in the primary and potential general election campaigns for 2019 and 2020.” Specifically, the staffers said they hope to establish “a follow-up plan for implementing concrete sexual harassment policies and procedures.” “It is critically important that Senator Sanders attend this meeting to understand the full scope of the issue from 2016 and how the campaign plans to move forward,” their letter continues. Some of the signers told POLITICO that they hope the proposed meeting wouldn’t bolster the longstanding “Bernie Bro” argument, but instead serve as a leading example of what campaigns should do in the wake of the #MeToo movement. “This letter is just a start,” explained one organizer. “We are addressing what happened on the Bernie campaign but as people that work in this space we see that all campaigns are extremely dangerous to women and marginalized people and we are attempting to fix that.” The signers who spoke to POLITICO insisted that their call for action wasn’t just about Sanders, but the senator’s campaign committee welcomed it anyway. “We thank the signers of the letter for their willingness to engage in this incredibly important discussion,” they said in response. “We always welcome hearing the experiences and views of our former staff. We also value their right to come to us in a private way so their confidences and privacy are respected. And we will honor this principle with respect to this private letter.” This story was originally published by the New York Post. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/be...ddress-predatory-culture-during-2016-campaign
I wonder if there are any incidences of him paying off women, or saying on video that he likes to grab women by their crotches, or walk into womens dressing rooms. That'd pretty much end his career as a politician.
You mean like those republican senators and house reps? What about those cabinet members that used tax payers money for transportation, trips and vacations? or accepting a condo in DC at way under market rate or a president that continually uses his personal properties for more vacations and golf than any president in history and hikes the rates of his facilities to make the tax payers having to pay even more? You mean like that?
Oh Maris, don't ever change. Because it's like you only say things to get people to look into it and secretly just want them to point out that what you're saying is absolute bullshit.
No it wouldnt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_sex_scandals_in_the_United_States Everyone acts like the things Trumps gotten away with are some how only because he’s Trump.
No, everyone acts like it's quite amazing that a political party that railed against gays, people who cheated on their spouses, etc, seems to have turned a blind eye to Trump's dalliances.
They were told for years to accept people for who they are. I'm glad we finally realized that people are who they are. Even Republicans can learn it seems.
Just to make libs realize their hypocrisy. It was all part of the plan. He baited Warren into getting dirty like he is so he can use it against her next election. Remember the "large orange elephant in the room"? Genius really.
Ah, so in 2005 he thought about how in 11 years he was going to prove how hypocritical liberals were. Gotcha.
So the logic is. Well, they were mad at our lifestyles. So now that we can prove their leaders have the same lifestyles we do, we are now mad that they were mad at it. Now that they aren't outraged their leaders have those problems we're even madder. Sounds like a whole lot of hypocrisy going on here for both sides. It's not amazing by the way and you and no one else is “amazed” that either side is willing to put up with hypocrisy as long as its part of their agenda. That literally isn't anyone’s problem with Trump or the Republicans. Just as much as when Republicans were showing their pseudo “outrage” at the Democrats who preach one thing and do another.
Find Louis CK's recent gig on YouTube. It was on cbs news because he made fun of Parkland survivors and trans people. If you listen to the whole thing those aren't even the most offensive things he talked about but OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad man. It is hilarious by the way, one of his best sets ever.
