| Weeks after Chuck Edwards was censured in a bipartisan, nearly unanimous vote, Jennifer Balkcom is still refusing to take a stand against her fellow Republican and remaining at the side of the disgraced sexual harasser.
In a new clip from Spectrum News, when asked if Edwards should resign from Congress, Balkcom spent nearly fifteen excruciating seconds trying to muster up a response, all to just say:
Balkcom: “I’m not sure”
[…]
Reporter: “You’re on the fence about it?”
Balkcom: “Yes.”
REMINDER: Edwards was recommended for censure by the House Ethics Committee for sexual harassment of his own young female employees, including inviting a staffer on vacation, writing inappropriate poems for a staffer, paying for massages and spa treatments, and paying for a private singer for a staffer “from a special someone.” Edwards’ harassment drove two female employees to quit, and the House voted to censure him.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Jennifer Balkcom can’t even say that repeat sexual harasser Chuck Edwards shouldn’t be in Congress. Balkcom is clearly ok protecting abusers – now the question is if she would vote with her fellow Republicans to hide the Epstein files. Voters are sick and tired of politicians pretending like this behavior is acceptable. They want real, leadership rooted in the common sense mountain values that Jamie Ager was raised on.”
