Congressman Behind Planned Parenthood Assault Kept Paying Aide After Sexual Harassment Complaints

Source: Huffington Post

"A Republican congressman leading the fight to defund Planned Parenthood paid his chief of staff for nearly six months after at least three female staffers complained that the top aide was sexually harassing subordinates, according to four sources close to the situation."

"The women told North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows about chief of staff Kenny West's behavior in March, sources said. At first, Meadows barred West from his D.C. office, but reassigned him to the district office and continued paying him. Meadows eventually sent West off with a sizable severance."

"I don't know if it's just his personality, but I know he paws on people. And I do know within his office, there have been a lot of complaints. As one of his staffers told me, 'The son of a bitch has had a complaint on him by every woman in our office.'"

Don't work for a republican congress. Every last one of them is a sociopath.

this jerk keeps another jerk in a field office, well guess what, I what to know if "WE" the taxpayers paid for this crap out of our expense account that he his given to legislate under by the taxpayers, I want some answers and some accountability.
In fact I want a investigation on this matter and this money that was given, something smells wrong.
Republicans would do it in a heart beat, and the public would hear about it on MSM all day long if it was a democrat

who knows what, why and where-------------------if tax dollars are being spent for these shenanigans then someone needs to go to jail.
They want to gut and cut social programs because they say we have no moola, well if this is some under handed or lets hide something, then I want to know why "WE" are paying this person $174,000 to basically keep someone on the payroll if they are breaking the law or rules.

Pressure my friend, we need to ask some answers and more questions,---------------

I think the Republican Party is up to their ears in this smear campaign, and the fact that this creep allowed a staffer to continue to harass women doesn't surprise me one bit. It's their MO. It's what they do 24/7!

I think West may have some unpleasant "dirt" he's holding in his back pocket against Meadows. West ran against Meadows and after he lost, he had some campaign debt that apparently Meadows paid. West also received a lot of pay without doing any work. Sounds suspicious to me. Why is it always these "Family Values" guys?
