Another day, another Democrat accused of sexual assault. This time it’s Ruben Kihuen, who is representative for Nevada’s fourth congressional district (which includes North Las Vegas.) The woman, who only identifies herself as Samantha claims that filthy Democrat Ruben Kihuen repeated, unwanted propositions for dates and sex. The woman was forced to quit her job with Kihuen because of all the repeated sexual harassment. She just couldn’t take anymore. This district is one that flipped in last year’s election. It had a Republican Rep until Ruben Kihuen not only won, but sexually harassed his way into Congress. Kihuen is quite lucky that this comes out today. With the media hyperventaling over Flynn’s admission of lying to the FBI, there will likely be no coverage of Ruben Kihuen. He is also refusing to resign from Congress.

A woman who worked as the finance director for a promising Nevada Democrat is alleging that he repeatedly harassed and made sexual advances toward her during his 2016 congressional campaign — and like many young people on campaigns all over the country, she did not know what to do with her complaint and didn’t feel comfortable bringing it to the campaign’s leadership.
So she quit her job. And he’s now in Congress.
Samantha, whose last name BuzzFeed News is withholding at her request, began working for Rep. Ruben Kihuen early in his campaign to unseat Republican Rep. Cresent Hardy in December 2015 and quit by April 2016. Starting in February of that year, Samantha, who was 25 at the time, said Kihuen, who was then 35 and still competing in the primary race, propositioned her for dates and sex despite her repeated rejections. On two occasions, she says he touched her thighs without consent.
While Samantha was uncertain how she could report her experience, she said she spoke with a contact at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to explain why she was quitting so abruptly, and told the staffer that Kihuen had done things that made her uncomfortable.
“I didn’t know what they could do, but I felt like I had to let someone know,” she said.
