Bernie knew about it before that, and when the story came out Bernie didn't try to get in touch with her.

She states she was blackballed by Sanders supporters.

Then she saw this, taken in December, and it was so disheartening.

The other main harasser and enabler is now Chief of Staff for Rep. Chuy Garcia. I guess he didn't get a bad reference.

Fair question. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #11

Is Becker a Senator and does Gillibrand work with him? brooklynite Jan 2019 #15

If Gillibrand said something about Bernie in regards to this, she'd be getting flamed here. SaschaHM Jan 2019 #17

I think there is some feeling that she led the way with Franken. LisaM Jan 2019 #18
