Accused of Allowing Misconduct, Congresswoman Urged to Resign

HARTFORD, CONN. —

The cries for embattled U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty to step down for not protecting female staffers who said they experienced violence, death threats and sexual harassment by her former chief of staff intensified Saturday, with fellow Democrats saying the allegations were shocking and she needed to “do the right thing.”

Esty, an outspoken advocate for the #MeToo movement, was put in the awkward position of having to apologize for not protecting the staffers in her Washington office. But she has repeatedly dismissed calls for her to resign, and Saturday her office said she was standing by her statement from a day earlier: She’s not leaving.

Many stories on this, apparently National news story.

Well, this shows you how much I keep up with state or local politics.
Esty happens to be my CongressCritter, and today was the first I even knew about this scandal. Never heard of it before, but I wasn't payin' attention.

Connecticut is run by democrat-communists, there's little I can do about it, and it's not going to change. So that's why I don't bother keeping up. The only "pro-active" thing I could do to change things (at least for myself) would be to LEAVE the state of Connecticut. Can't do that, just yet.

I found out a little more here:

Excerpt:
"Democrats, who are hoping to win a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November elections, can’t afford to lose Esty’s seat or spend party resources defending it."

I don't think they have anything to worry about.
Just remove Esty and replace her with another democrat-communist -- they'll be elected easily in this district.
