Attorneys demand GOP take down sexualized images of former Washington Commanders employees

Attorneys for former Washington Commanders employees are demanding that House Oversight Committee Republicans remove “sexualized and salacious” sexual images of their clients from the record of the panel’s investigation into the NFL team’s workplace culture.
In a letter released Tuesday, attorneys Lisa Banks and Debra Katz said the release of the images in a memorandum left their clients “humiliated and incensed,” adding that committee Republicans' decision to do so has caused “additional and unnecessary pain.” They said the images, included in a GOP memorandum on the panel's investigation into the team, depict “women’s breasts, buttocks and genital areas” emailed by former team president Bruce Allen.
“Obviously these photographs could have been referenced in the memorandum but not attached,” wrote the attorneys. Banks and Katz are known for their representation of alleged sexual harassment victims, including Christine Blasey Ford during her 2018 Senate testimony about sexual assault that she alleged by now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“Rather than show consideration to the many women who came forward to the Committee to share their experiences of objectification and sexual exploitation while employed by the team,” the attorneys continued in their letter, “Republican members of the Committee chose to subject them to more of the same.”

The GOP should change its name to "The Drunken Frat Boy Party".

Can't the House Oversight Committee Republicans find something more important to be spending
their time on than sexual harassment on a sports team? When will they start looking into
pee wee baseball? According to repugs we're grooming kids all wrong.
