Members of the US Congress exposed their genitals to coworkers and grabbed victim’s private parts on the House floor, a female Representative has claimed.

Representative Jackie Speier spoke out about the “inexcusable” sexual harassment in Congress during a hearing of the Committee on House Administration. She told the committee she had been “inundated” by reports of sexual harassment on Capitol Hill ever since she began soliciting them via social media.

“From comments like ‘Are you going to be a good girl?,’ to harassers exposing their genitals, to victims having their private parts grabbed on the House floor, women and men have trusted me with their stories,” she said. “All they asked in return was that we fix our abusive system and hold the perpetrators accountable.”

This issue at least, is all over the place, politically in the nation, there are also 8 states dealing with this I heard.

I will laugh my butt off if some of these end up being ones who made comments on Roy Moore being guilty simply on accusations.

Why do you believe Jackie Spier?  They're just accusations and they weren't brought at the time they happened.

Let's not be a hypocrite.

Why don't you believe her? Are hers of less credibility to you than those who are accusing Roy Moore?

If any Republicans are involved, shouldn't they resign immediately, simply because she accused? Especially if any asked Moore to withdraw?
