Are Republican congressman entitled to a little nookie? Republican stands by his record. Says that anyone guilty of sexual misconduct is not fit for public office. But Reed says he is innocent until proven guilty. No proof, so he gets a free pass. And what's a little foreplay among friends, anyway? Trump says a man is entitled to grab women by the pussy. And Reed only unhooked the woman's bra, and touched her back and thigh. Reed was trying to be friendly. Nothing more. Unless the woman wanted to have sex with him, of course. And then it would have been consensual. ------- ------- Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Reed accused of sexual misconduct AOL Associated Press CAROLYN THOMPSON March 21, 2021, 5:37 AM U.S. Rep. Tom Reed, a Republican from western New York, is accused of rubbing a female lobbyist's back and unhooking her bra, without her consent, at a networking event in a Minneapolis pub in 2017. The lobbyist, Nicolette Davis, told The Washington Post that Reed appeared to be drunk as he pawed her back and leg as the two were seated next to each other during a networking trip. Reed fumbled with her bra before pinching the clasp through her blouse and unhooking it, then moved his hand to her thigh, she said. A frightened Davis, who was 25 and on her first trip as a junior lobbyist for insurance company Aflac, texted a friend and co-worker that “a drunk congressman is rubbing my back.” "HELP HELP,” she texted, before the person seated on her other side responded to her request by pulling Reed out of the restaurant, according to her account, published Friday. Reed, elected to Congress in 2010, declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press. In a statement released by his office, he said, “This account of my actions is not accurate.” Reed has been among the members of Congress calling for the resignation of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo over sexual harassment allegations. In late February, Reed said he was seriously considering running for governor against Cuomo. Davis, now a 29-year-old second lieutenant in the U.S. Army at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, contacted The Post through a tip line Feb. 11, the newspaper said. Davis said she is speaking out as she thinks about the kind of platoon leader she wants to be after graduating from field artillery school later this month. “I need to always act in good conscience and set the right example for the soldiers I will lead, including younger females,” she said. “I hope it will allow people who have endured similar experiences to feel confident enough to say something.” Her story was corroborated by the friend whom Davis texted from the restaurant, Jessica Strieter Elting, who runs Aflac’s political affairs team in Washington, D.C. Strieter Elting told The Post that Davis was shaken by the encounter. “I felt horrible for her, being in that position while trying to do her job,” said Strieter Elting. Davis also reported the incident, at the time, to her supervisor at the company, then-vice president and counsel Brad Knox. Knox said he recalled Davis telling him that Reed had been drinking and had undone an article of her clothing. He said she declined when he asked if she wanted to file a complaint with the House Ethics Committee. Reed is a former mayor of Corning, New York. In Congress, he co-chairs the Problem Solvers Caucus, whose 24 Republican and 24 Democratic members meet weekly on issues. In response to the #MeToo movement, Reed said sexual harassment training was a basic requirement in his office, and that he had taken it. He also backed bipartisan legislation in 2018 requiring lawmakers to be personally liable for settlements resulting from harassment. The statement provided by Reed's office said: “I stand by my record.” Commenting on the allegations against Cuomo last month, Reed had said, “these incidents of sexual harassment and pattern of abuse are abhorrent and have absolutely no place in our society, let alone the highest rungs of government.” | |

No smoke without a fire. Republican US Representative, who said he was innocent of groping charges, has announced he will not run for re-election next year. If he was innocent, why is he stepping down? Also said he was having problems with alcohol at the time of the "alleged" incident, and entered treatment that year. The announcement he is retiring comes after he recently said that Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York is unfit for office because of sexual harassment allegations. How many times have Republicans accused Democrats of political crimes, only to be outed for the same crimes a short time later? ---------- ---------- ‘Sorry’: GOP US Rep. Tom Reed retiring amid misconduct claim AOL Associated Press KAREN MATTHEWS March 21, 2021, 10:12 PM U.S. Rep. Tom Reed, a Republican from western New York who was accused last week of rubbing a female lobbyist’s back and unhooking her bra without her consent in 2017, apologized to the woman on Sunday and announced that he will not run for reelection next year. Reed, 49, said in a statement that the incident involving then-lobbyist Nicolette Davis occurred “at a time in my life in which I was struggling.” He said he entered treatment that year and realized he was “powerless over alcohol.” Reed apologized to his wife and children, and to Davis, and said he planned “to dedicate my time and attention to making amends for my past actions.” Reed, who was first elected to Congress in 2010, had been among the members of Congress calling for the resignation of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo over sexual harassment allegations. In late February, Reed said he was seriously considering running for governor against Cuomo should the Democrat seek a fourth term next year. Reed said in his statement Sunday that he would not seek any elective office in 2022. The announcement came two days after The Washington Post reported the allegations from Davis, who was 25 and a lobbyist for insurer Aflac when she said Reed, seated next to her at a Minneapolis bar, unhooked her bra from outside her blouse and moved his hand to her thigh. “A drunk congressman is rubbing my back,” she texted a co-worker at Aflac that evening, adding later, “HELP HELP.” Reed released a statement Friday saying, “This account of my actions is not accurate.” In his statement Sunday he said, “ In reflection, my personal depiction of this event is irrelevant. Simply put, my behavior caused her pain, showed her disrespect and was unprofessional. I was wrong, I am sorry, and I take full responsibility.” A former mayor of Corning, New York, Reed is co-chair of the House of Representatives' bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. He voted against impeaching former President Donald Trump in January but voted in favor of certifying the 2020 election of Democrat Joe Biden. | |
