For those of you who think I should've said something at the time, let me remind you of DC's culture for women — and sadly nothing has changed.
When I sent this tweet 13 years ago about a Republican staffer, the next morning my boss at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce pulled me into his office and told me "Congressional affairs" was furious and that I could get fired if I spoke to reporters.
I had tweeted a photo of the staffer's business card (which I *did* agree to delete) but I refused to delete this.
Everyone at Tune Inn was mad at ME for talking about it. Kicking the man out was sufficient, I didn't need to "try to get him fired" they said.
THAT was the culture I was in while I was dating Graham.
And frankly I'm just done. I'm so done. This just cannot keep happening. I will not one day send my daughters to go work in a congressional office if this culture is not radically transformed.
People need to know they can and should speak up when they're abused or when they see abuse—and know there will be no point scoring about what party affiliation they have.
Saxby Chambliss LD just got booted from Tune Inn for slapping a woman and calling her the c word.
