Obviously allegations against Dems, resign immediately.

Settle a 84,000 dollar lawsuit and crickets.......


Pathetic...one rule for one, one for the other.

1. Anyone expect different?

2. Someone paying out our tax money secretly thought otherwise.

3. Hmmm

I thought certain DUers very concerned about sexual misconduct would have posted this first.

6. Now what was the point of that? Must everything be infighting?

Jesus.

4. Ryan is outright lying. A$ 84.000 payout is absolute reason to believe accusation.

There was already an investigation and enough "reason" to force a $84.000 payout of our taxpayers' money.

Pig protecting Pig, there's no other explanation.

5. I would not be surprised if there were skeletons rattling in his closet too.....

10. Bingo. He leads an entire party that relentlessly votes ag Women's rights.

They see women as baby incubators, servants, male property. Ryan and all the others do not even recognize the concept of female equality, much less women's right to her own body.

Repugs only accept sexual harassment charges as a weapon they can use against Democrats in office. For themselves it is a male entitlement not a moral (or legal: they all love SCOTUS Thomas) failure.

Look at Ryan's us vs them, abusive tax bill, his Quack plantation economics, even his serial worship of his own aging gym rat body.
He's already used his power to the max ag women in Congress, I doubt a little of that perverted mind set hasn't trickled down to individual action.

7. Trigger warning...

12. No wonder he resorted to harrassment.

No woman in her right mind would want to get aywhere near him. That is a seriously disturbing picture. No one over age 3 should wear duckie pajamas.

8. Kick and recommend for visibility of this evil.

9. Didn't Ryan used to work for Oscar Mayer?

Would explain his love of pigs...

11. I beleve he drove the Weinermobile, only job outside inherited, gov't funded family biz and govt.
