Interns On Clinton And Sanders Campaigns Allege Sexual Harassment

21

According to a new report, young women working on both the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders Campaigns now allege sexual harassment….

CLINTON CAMPAIGN: The Huffington Post reports that while then 19-year-old Lilian Adams worked as a paid organizer for the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign in Colorado, a man displayed harassing and generally creepy behaviour towards her. Adams told HuffPost, ” He made multiples comments about my body, told people we were dating, would constantly try to get me to drink ( I was 19), try to force me into situations where we were alone, encouraged me not to wear bras, etc.”

Adams signed on to the Clinton Campaign as an intern at its Brooklyn, New York, headquarters in October 2015. She wore many hats: “I was on the digital organizer team and as assistant to the digital director, the deputy digital director, the chief digital officer and the [chief technical officer], “she said. Seven months later, in May 2016 she relocated to Colorado to work with the state Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign as a paid organizer. Her job connected the two, promoting the former secretary of state and other Democrats on the state’s ballot. It was in the Colorado office that Adams said she faced harassment from a fellow organizer.

SANDERS CAMPAIGN: In October 2015, Zoey  Jordan Salsbury became president of American University Student for Bernie, a volunteer position, her main point of contact in the Vermont senator’s campaign was an intern, another college student in Washington, D.C. When he made unwanted advances towards her, Salsbury identified as her harasser did not respond to a request for comment. But her account was confirmed by her friend Colin Moir, a fellow member of the American University group. “he had been harassing her sexually,” said Moir, adding that Salsbury  “was not able to speak to somebody higher up and report it.” Like Adams, Salsbury felt helpless to stop the harassment. There was no culture of accountability in the D.C. office of the Sanders campaign, she said, and she didn’t think people would listen to a young volunteer. it was “a culture that didn’t discuss office policies with volunteers or make it clear that harassment wasn’t tolerated,” said Salsbury. Salsbury did hear from the Sanders campaign after she posted about the incident this month on social media.

  2. I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours as of late, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s pretty value enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the web shall be a lot more helpful than ever before.

  3. I’am a Vietnam Veteran w/ 100% Service Connected Disability of which I am housebound 95% of the time. I’am still learning to walk again and that is very time consuming for me! I wonder where all these men learned all this disgusting behavior. They are not Ready for Time Prime Players and it shows!
    One should send these men back home to M & D to have a regroup and learn how to be respectful of the woman they work with. Oh so Sad!!
    Shape Up or Ship Out!!!

  5. ᒪee and Larгy liked their sixth birthɗay
    party. Although they haｖe been twins, Mommy aand Dadd at all timews made certaіn they every hаd а special time.
    And with their birthdays coming in December, Mommy and Dadfy addіtionally always made
    certaіn heir birthdays haave been particular even though Christmas wɑs proⲣer round the corner.
    The occasiоn waaѕ so fun with a clown and cake and songs and
    fantastic presents from their friends andd grandparents and uncle and
    aunts. It glіded bby so fast however bеfor they knew it,
    everyone had gone һouuse and it was time to
    crub up and get ready for bеd.

  6. If yߋure thе tуype of one who is lower than thrilled with the prospect of working in the identcal office, day after day, eliminating this
    tүpe of routine is one of the m᧐st necessary hіghlights that you could receive from freelancing.
    Whenever you hire your self out аs a freelancer, evｅry job task that you tackle shall bbe a new adventure.
    Not solely wіll the work setting diffeｒ, һowever you will also һave
    the opportunity to satisfy many morе attention-grabbing people.

    Thiss issue alonne is without doubt one off the major reasons why many
    paralegals desire freelancing over committing themselves tto 1
    ѕpеcific woгkplace.
