Spokesperson for Grassley’s Judiciary Committee hearings resigns over sexual harassment allegations: report



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/spokesperson-grassleys-judiciary-committee-hearings-resigns-sexual-harassment-allegations-report/

A top aide to Judiciary Committee head Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has resigned over allegations he sexually harassed a woman.

According to NBC, “Garrett Ventry, 29, who served as a communications aide to the committee chaired by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, had been helping coordinate the majority party’s messaging in the wake of Christine Blasey Ford’s claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago at a high school party.”

NBC News raised questions about Ventry’s employment history and the report of sexual assault allegation against him, which led to the resignation.

In a statement, Ventry denied any past “allegations of misconduct.”

I read the headline, that was my reaction. So I'm not saying I coined the phrase, I'm saying I'd never seen it before I said it.
