Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez was challenged Sunday when he said his party has "never hesitated" to act on sexual misconduct allegations leveled at its members.
Perez made the comments when asked during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" program why Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was still serving as his deputy at the DNC, despite being accused of domestic violence by his former girlfriend. A probe by Minnesota's state Democratic Party reported last month that it found no evidence to substantiate Karen Monahan's claims, which Ellison has vehemently denied.
"What I say is that we should always take those complaints seriously, and we do, and that's why an investigation was conducted, that's why Congressman Ellison asked for a House Ethics investigation," Perez said. "And Democrats have never hesitated to take action, unlike Republicans."
