Brooklyn pol says Congress overdue for sexual harassment reckoning
With the news of the shocking firing of “Today” anchor Matt Lauer still sinking in across the country and with the ongoing scandal involving sexual harassment allegations against longtime U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) surrounding Washington D.C., House members are moving ahead with legislation to combat sexual predators in congress.
And it’s about time, according to U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Bensonhurst-Upper West Side).
Nadler and U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-C-Long Island) are working across the aisle to pass the Member and Employee Training and Oversight On (ME TOO) Congress Act of 2017 to put strict procedures in place to help protect victims of sexual harassment on Capitol Hill.
