Nancy Mace airs confidential sexual harassment settlements paid by the House of Representatives

Nancy Mace, aspiring governor of South Carolina, revealed the existence of documentation related to payments of more than $300,000 corresponding to confidential agreements for sexual harassment reached between 2004 and 2017, which were covered by the House of Representatives, this because the offenders were several of its former members.

Through a couple of messages published on platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the Republican who aspires to represent her party in the elections in her home state, showed how the misconduct of at least six former legislators required establishing agreements to avoid civil trials where the sexual harassment they resorted to at the time came to light. abusing the political position held.

The most controversial thing about the matter is that $338,000 dollars paid with taxpayer funds are mentioned.

It should be noted that the House Oversight Committee was in charge of keeping safe all information related to representatives of both parties who allegedly enjoyed sexually harassing their victims.

All of them escaped public scandal and most ended up resigning their seats in Congress.some are even already dead, but none of them were tried for the crime they allegedly committed.

Although the conciliation agreements do not imply that the accused admit having committed any irregularity, the fact that they have resigned from their positions does not make sense.

With the aim of making known the politicians for whom thousands of dollars were spent to free them from accusations linked to sexual harassment, Nancy Mace published a list containing half a dozen names of representatives involved.

Eric Massa, Democrat of New York; John Conyers, D-Mich.; Blake Farenthold, R-Texas; Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., Rodney Alexander, R-Louisiana; and the office of the missing Carolyn McCarthy, Democrat of New York, is also mentioned.

“Nine members. One thousand pages. All records prior to 2004 were destroyed, which says everything about how long this matter has remained hidden,” said the gubernatorial hopeful.
