NPR host Tom Ashbrook suspended amid 'creepy' misconduct allegations from men, women

John Conyers, Al Franken, Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly and dozens of actors, directors, radio hosts, tv hosts and others are facing the consequences of the sexual harassment and abuse they've committed. How much longer are Congressional Republicans going to ignore Trump's many acts of groping and sexual abuse (which he bragged about)?

Kirsten Gillibrand hits back at Trump for 'sexist smear' after Twitter jab
NBC News, Dec 12 2017 12:51 PM

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand called President Donald Trump's Twitter attack on her a "sexist smear" meant to silence her and those who have accused him of sexual misconduct after the two sparred on Twitter today. Trump, in an early morning tweet, called Gillibrand a "lightweight" and a "total flunky" for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who also represents New York, a day after she called on the president to resign amid a series of sexual misconduct and assault allegations against him. He also claimed she would beg for campaign contributions "not so long ago" — before he was a politician — suggesting she "would do anything for them."

Gillibrand, at a news conference today, continued to excoriate the president for the suggestive remark and said she will continue to call for him to step down. "It’s not going to silence me. Their voices also will not be silenced," she said, referring to the president's accusers, "and neither will the millions of women and men who have marched against the president and his policies." Trump’s attack was prompted after Gillibrand told CNN that the president should step aside amid the dozens of allegations from women, which range from inappropriate touching to sexual assault. She said Congress should open an investigation into the president because "it’s the right thing to do."

Federal campaign records show that Trump donated to Gillibrand's campaign during her 2010 special election run, including $2,400 for the primary and general election. He also donated $1,050 to her congressional campaign in 2007-2008 and gave $2,100 to the Gillibrand Victory Fund PAC in 2007.

I am getting really tired of hearing about all these accusations. Some of them are from 10 or 20 years ago. Men who abused women should just apologize and change their behavior. It does not need to be on television and in the newspapers every day.

A lot of women who work at ESPN are complaining that the men try to hit on them and give them back rubs and shoulder rubs and make sexist comments. I think if more businesses were owned by women instead of men, there would not be so much sexual harassment. Men do it just because they run things and they think they can get away with it.

A "commission." Golly gee, if that doesn't put a halt to the inappropriate sexual behavior of millions of men, I don''t know what will.
