Marshall Faulk, Ike Taylor, and Heath Evans accused of sexual harrassment

[vailpass]

Unless we curb this witch hunt we're going to start removing our strong leaving only the weak to fill their place. Here's an intern who got yelled at and got stomach aches. For that a congressman is forced out.

A former senior aide to Rep. Blake Farenthold has approached the House Ethics Committee to share a damning account of working for the Texas Republican, with the intent of describing the congressman as verbally abusive and sexually demeaning -- and his congressional office as an intensely hostile environment that drove the aide to physical and emotional distress.

One comment from the congressman was especially personal. Rekola was about to leave town to get married in July 2015, when, he said, Farenthold, standing within earshot of other staffers in his Capitol Hill office, said to the groom-to-be: "Better have your fiancée blow you before she walks down the aisle -- it will be the last time." He then proceeded to joke about whether Rekola's now-wife could wear white on her wedding day -- a clear reference, Rekola said, to whether she had had premarital sex.

During the nine months that he worked for the congressman, Rekola said, he was also subject to a stream of angry behavior not sexual in nature -- screaming fits of rage, slamming fists on desks and castigating aides, including regularly calling them "f**ktards."

Yep. Pressure makes diamonds. We can't hamstring ourselves to the point of ridiculousness.
The nations we need to compete against certainly don't.
