"Blake Farenthold and Washingtons political apparatus then ran Farentholds victim out of town"
“Blake Farenthold and the rest of Washington’s political apparatus then ran Farenthold’s victim out of town on a rail.”
“She later added: “I was told right away that I would be, quote-unquote, ‘blackballed’ if I came forward. … That’s exactly what happened.”
And that was that. She has been unable to land a politics-related job since.
If the woman Blake Farenthold serially harassed with talk of "nipples" and "threesomes" and "wet dreams"—while drunk, apparently, because it seems our public representatives cannot so much as put on their socks in the morning without pounding down drinks beforehand—if that young staffer still cannot get a job in politics because of the complaint she filed against him, then Blake Farenthold should be barred from political office for at least as long.
And there are really no freaking caveats to be applied to that. The current system not only protects serial perverts like Farenthold, it successfully punishes the women who come forward to complain about the harassment. That cannot be tolerated, not even a little damn bit.”
