...sexual assaulters out of government. They should be helped if possible, but in a place where they are not able to harm anyone.

if a woman says NO, she is not being flirty. Grow up, pay attention and stop forcing yourself on people.

Kirby, 58, was accused by a former legislative assistant (LA), Hollie Bishop, 28, of sexually harassing her and then firing her after she refused his advances and reported them to Human Resources, according to a letter sent by Bishop’s lawyers to the House.

State records show she and her lawyers were paid $44,500 in two separate payments. One payment was marked “legal settlement” paid to the. The other payment, to her attorneys, was filed under “housekeeping” and cleaning supplies.

With his qualifications, he should run for the White House next time! He looks like a typical repub. More than one chin, huge bags under his eyes. If their dear leader can treat women like disposable objects, why can't he?
