Democratic Congressman Tim Mahoney is at the center of one of the most repulsive scandals in recent memory, but he continues to run for reelection and refuses to resign.
The Democratic party is a culture where you can do the following and think you still have a future in the party:
A document obtained by ABC News reveals new allegations of threatening behavior and sexual harassment toward a female staffer, that go far beyond Mahoney’s public confession, including claims that he urged one of his mistresses to serve as a “tease” for big donors.
The former Congressional staff member, Patricia Allen, was paid $121,000 by Mahoney after she was fired and threatened to sue.
The settlement was reached after Allen hired a lawyer who sent the Congressman a “demand” letter, listing specific examples of Mahoney’s alleged “gross misconduct” and “stalking” including:
“a) Calling Allen late in the evenings and demanding ”phone sex;“
b) Demanding that Allen answer his calls or face termination;
c) Demanding that Allen attend fundraisers and ”tease c-ck“ to bring in more donations from the male members of the public;
d) Demanding that Allen engage in sexual conduct with another woman for his enjoyment.”
