In reply to the discussion: Top Bernie Sanders 2016 adviser accused of forcibly kissing subordinate [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)43. I was referring to the 216 campaign, and HRC clearly
dealt with the 2008 incident to the satisfaction of those involved, who didn't feel a need to meet with her and her staff to prevent it from happening again.
I would agree that Clinton's campaign, with the many women in leadership positions, might have had far less than other campaigns, but that same kind of tone could have been set for a male campaign.
No one has come forward with a complaint about ANY issues on HRC's 2016, not "far less" than other campaigns. And only one person, not several were at issue in the HRC 2008 campaign.
P.S I only said that Tony Poehlo said that people should be encouraged to have sex, and I don't know what campaigns he has worked on.

Almost sounds like a swipe at, an insult at, an ATTACK of all prominent Democrats.

What the? People can indeed be expected to "control their urges and behave themselves."

Apparently not on HRC's campaign. Perhaps in a campaign run by and for men it's more common.

That could be a reason. I'm wondering, was Becker paid for his work on the campaign in 2016?
