Who remembers Bob “Filthy” Filner, Democratic ex-mayor of San Diego and serial sexual harasser?
Filner was protected by leadership & Pelosi downplayed the story when it finally broke, essentially saying "that's a local matter." https://t.co/KEWaVjb7fP

Not surprising, given Filner’s history.
Ewwwww…but not surprised as Filner is a boor. https://t.co/ktHGbJ9cVK

But it’s still disgusting.
She says she doesn’t understand why her female colleagues won’t name the men in congress who harass/assault them.

At this point, it might be easier to name the men in Congress who haven’t harassed or assaulted their female colleagues.
Jesus. Let them all fall. Call them out
