Former five-term Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford Jr. has been fired from his job at Morgan Stanley due to an allegation of sexual harassment dating back several years.

The Huffington Post reported that they interviewed Ford’s accuser twice. She claimed Ford harassed, intimidated and “forcibly grabbed her” in Manhattan several years go. She said she had to seek help from a nearby security guard.

After the alleged incident, he continued to contact her until she specifically told him not to, the news outlet reported.

After local news outlets broke the story, Ford responded on Twitter saying, “In regards to news today, This simply did not happen. I have never forcibly grabbed any woman or man in my life.”

3. Ford is to sue.

In a statement provided to HuffPost, Ford denied the allegations: “This simply did not happen. I have never forcibly grabbed any woman or man in my life. Having drinks and dinner for work is part of my job, and all of my outreach to the news reporter making these false allegations was professional and at the direction of my firm for business purposes. I support and have tremendous respect for the brave women now speaking out in this important national dialogue. False claims like this undermine the real silence breakers. I will now be bringing legal action against the reporter who has made these false claims about me as well as Morgan Stanley for improper termination.”

Ford comes from a prominent political family in Tennessee. His father, Harold Ford Sr., held a congressional seat for 12 terms before retiring, leaving his son to run for the seat, a race which he won handily. Ford served in the House for nearly 10 years before deciding to run for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Republican Bill Frist. Ford lost that hotly contested 2006 race by fewer than three points to current Republican Sen. Bob Corker.

5. This is the purge. Democrats only need apply. And our strength turned into a weakness

The right wing media will convince the morons that liberal democrats are perverts and predators.

Just like convincing them that Kerry did not deserve his Purple Heart.

They turn their weak points on their head, it’s a strategy.

6. And along the way the msm, including MSNBC profits

I didn't see the facts presented well about Franken. Even Lawrence and Rachel were on the Gillibrand, Harris etc wagon.

Where was their usual logic and desire to get to the facts?

They were part of the problem and if they are it's worse elsewhere

7. Ford is a terrible DINO

I can't stand him. If true, he got what he deserved. I hope he leaves politics forever.
