And yet another Democrat is exposed as being a sexual assaulter, and using tax payer funds to settle the dispute. This time it’s New York’s Democrat Gregory Meeks. He is a Congressional Black Caucus Democrat and was one of several CBC to boycott Bibi Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. Meek has also been married since 1997 and the alleged sexual assault case occurred in 2006, nine years after he was married and had kids. Really stand up man this Gregory Meeks isn’t it? This is liberal progressive Democrat values at their finest. Meeks was elected to Congress when Bill Clinton was president, so he decided to try and emulate the rapist. Democrat Gregory Meeks also agreed with Nancy Pelosi that John Conyers is an “icon.”

Rep. Gregory Meeks argued explicitly in a lawsuit that the existence of the Office of Compliance meant he shouldn't be personally liable. The judge agreed, leaving taxpayers on the hook. https://t.co/6ymYxufB7H

The Office of House Employment Counsel brokered a settlement in 2006 over allegations that Rep. Gregory Meeks fired a staffer in retaliation for reporting that she was sexually assaulted at a business tied to a campaign contributor, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The long-running lawsuit dealt with how the Office of House Employment Counsel (HEOC) was set up to offer limited protections to Capitol Hill staffers who suffered from harassment, and the New York Democrat argued the law established that the office should be financially liable in the suit and not him.
The HEOC uses taxpayer money to pay out financial settlements to resolve allegations of sexual abuse, discrimination and other workplace violations by members. It also binds the victims with tight secrecy clauses.
While no dollar amount is yet publicly known used from the tax player slush fund used by Meeks, it’s reported that he was sued for $7 million.
