Former Democratic Congressman Harold Ford Jr. has been fired for misconduct by Morgan Stanley after facing a human resources investigation into allegations of misconduct, a company spokeswoman confirmed.

“He has been terminated for conduct inconsistent with our values and in violation of our policies,” spokeswoman,” a spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley told HuffPost in an email.

At least one woman, who is not a Morgan Stanley employee but interacted with Ford in a professional capacity, was interviewed by Morgan Stanley’s HR department as part of the investigation.

In two interviews with HuffPost, the woman alleged that Ford engaged in harassment, intimidation, and forcibly grabbed her one evening in Manhattan, leading her to seek aid from a building security guard. The incident took place several years ago when Ford and the woman were supposed to be meeting for professional reasons. Ford continued to contact her after the encounter until she wrote an email asking him to cease contact.

1. Another dem? Something is not right here.

[Loryn]

3. But of course.

[mopinko]

4. barely.

both in office and on the teevee, he was more of a critic of dems than a member the party could be proud of.

10. Was he ever really a dem?...

He had the repug talking points down

2. Melissa

Michigan friends are not surprised. I find Ford's comments made live on Morning Blow evidence of his duplicity in general. If he is unjustly accused, he should sue.

7. Interesting...

Thanks!

5. See ya later. I've never liked him. For a "Democrat", he always seemed uber critical of Dems

and very cozy with Repubs. I didn't know he worked at Morgan Stanley but that now makes perfect sense.

6. Russians trolling for Dems. If they find a whopper that's REpub, throw it back.

Even vaguely Dem people like Ford will work. Remember 30, 000 invisible emails that were never found allowed Trump to steal the election.Now he will use the same methods to destroy our democracy and hand the country over to Russia no doubt for a paltry sum indeed.

8. Good - maybe I wont

have to stomach watching him on tv trash Democrats all day long.

9. He was a friend of Democrats the way that Col. Sanders is a friend of chickens.

13. !

[Vinca]

14. That's for sure. Great analogy.

[alarimer]

12. Ha! I knew Ford was horrible.

Fake Democrat, fake progressive.

[spanone]

15. He's a FORMER representative and was barely a democrat.
