Sen. Joe Gruters, a Sarasota Republican, faces accusations from a male staffer of sexual harassment.

Gruters, also the chair of the Republican Party of Florida, is meeting with party officials, including counsel Ben Gibson, about a sexual harassment investigation, sources tell Florida Politics. He is also meeting with his Senate staff, sources confirm.

Party leaders made clear they take the accusations seriously.

“The Republican Party of Florida has a zero tolerance policy toward harassment of any kind,” said RPOF Executive Director Helen Aguirre Ferre. “Any complaint RPOF receives regarding harassment towards its employees or members is taken very seriously and thoroughly reviewed in accordance with RPOF internal HR policies and all applicable laws and regulations.”

12. Yes they do...the anti-gay party, the party of family values. Seems like almost every week we learn

about another closeted, or pedophile (Gaetz), and...republican.

Their biggest problem is hypocrisy, and lying, and...OK, OK, they have a lot of problems...don't have time to list them all.

5. Presumably a criminal complaint hasn't been filed.

[not fooled]

6. Just when you thought Florida pukes couldn't get any weirder

and their chair, no less. Not great optics for the party of conservative family values (we need an Irony emoji).

I guess they figure after TFG that anything goes, especially in Florida.

7. "The Florida Republican Party has zero tolerance for harassment?"

Their lies are growing ever more brazen.

The Florida Republican Party is a fucking subsidiary of the Ku Klux Klan.

8. Another one bites the dust. He'll step down/forced out soon...

allegedly to spend more time with his family.

9. Spend more time with his DICK. He'll find someone easier to exploit. Maybe he can get a job.

11. It would be wise for some to realize sexual harassment doesn't indicate sexual orientation.

This is an odd story, especially given the complaint wasn't even filed by the harassed, but by someone who heard the account. Also, what was the sexual harassment?

13. I'm sure he'll hold his own.
