President Trump wants the names of Congressmen who have settled sexual harassment cases to be released to the public.Congress has a rampant sexual harassment problem. In fact the problem is so bad that
female lawmakers and aides keep a 'creep list' of men who are notorious for lewd behavior.Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) recently told MSNBC's Chuck Todd that
taxpayers have paid over $15 million to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against members of Congress!
WE WANT NAMES!White House Correspondent for One America News, Trey Yingst tweeted, "NEW: President Trump tells me he believe Congress should release the names of lawmakers who have settled sexual harassment claims."
Twitter was set ablaze last week after the Congressional Office of Compliance released a year-by-year breakdown of harassment settlements and other awards without details. (screenshot below)
Americans are mad as hell after it was revealed Monday evening that Democrat Rep John Conyers has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women. According to affidavits, Conyers used taxpayer money to fly women into D.C. to meet with him in hotel rooms!
Comment: Trump told this to reporters:
President Trump said Tuesday that he believed lawmakers who paid settlements to sexual harassment accusers should be outed.
'I do - I really do,' Trump told reporters on the South Lawn as he was leaving the White House to spend Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago.
...
Trump, who's been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment and assault, wasn't ready to comment on Conyers Tuesday.
'I just heard about Conyers two minutes ago,' the president said.
Sen. Al Franken, the Democratic comedian-turned-lawmaker under fire for inappropriate kissing and groping, Trump said, also needed to speak for himself.
'I don't want to speak for Al Franken. I don't know what happened,' the president said, five days after mocking Franken in his tweets.
While Trump said he'd like members of Congress to be outed, he suggested an alleged harasser's denial was enough to keep the president's support.
...
He also talked about the mass outing of male harassers, started by the dozens of accusations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and followed by men in media and business and politics being exposed.
'Women are very special, I think it's a very special time, because a lot of things are coming out and I think that's good for our society,'Trump said.
'And I think it's very, very good for women and I'm very happy a lot of these things are coming out and I'm very happy it's being exposed,' the president added.
It's no surprise that Congress is a den of perverts who have no problem charging the consequences of their indiscretions back to the taxpayer. By releasing the names of those who settled, we may actually see consequences for their actions, if not in an actual court, the court of public opinion at the very least. But with a look at that tweeted list, what was going on in 2002 and 2007?
