There’s always room for more: Women On Clinton & Sanders Campaigns Claim Sexual Harassment

The Lid: Campaign staffers of each of Democratic Party finalists have come forward to tell tales of rampant sexual harassment on the campaign trail that was wholly ignored by the democratic powers that be. Almost as surprising is that the media vehicle publishing their story was the very left-wing Huffington Post.
