And Now It's Tony Cornish To Be Burned At The Stake

Postby xd ED on Thu Nov 09, 2017 8:05 pm

Two women, including fellow state lawmaker, accuse Rep. Tony Cornish of sexual harassment - Mpls Strib

It appears the trendiness of victimization continues...

Amazing what constitutes 'harassment'.

"Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, told the Star Tribune about an uncomfortable episode involving Cornish. She provided a text message from Cornish in which he wrote that he “got busted for staring at you on the House floor ... Haha. I told him it was your fault, of course. Look too damned good. Ha. I must be more gentlemanly when I run for governor.”

One wonders if the term 'sexual harassment' will take on the same relative significance, and impact of being called a 'racist'; that is to say, it becomes a ubiquitous, and ultimately meaningless throw away accusation towards any opposition, or dissagreement from the opposite gender.

I could see that happening. Or it becomes a fight between the ones who were told they were ugly or fat vs the ones who were hit on or groped.

I was in the Navy when the whole "Tail Hook" incident happened. After that you couldn't look at a female sailor or even give them a complement on their looks without someone screaming about sexual harassment. I got way out of control. Some women were using it to get back at males for what ever reason, and some just using it to get even. It was really ugly.

I thought the Cornish comment to Quade was foolish, but short of harassment. Today’s ST article also describes conduct with a lobbyist (which if true) is the real deal.

Yep, if true, the lobbyist's allegations are an issue to be dealt with.

True or not, someone's mission was accomplished:

Sexual harassment allegations now spreading through the Minnesota Capitol; Rep. Tony Cornish stripped of chairmanship
Then Rep. Tony Cornish, a powerful eight-term Republican from Vernon Center, saw his chairmanship of the House Public Safety Committee suspended late Thursday after allegations surfaced against him.

Moral of the story is that you shouldn't compliment a woman on her appearance, ever.

Unless you're very good looking ... or very rich ;)

One of the effects of the old political model is crumbling before our eyes. I believe there used to be systemic "tolerance " for bad behavior because each party had skeletons they wanted to keep hidden. There was an agreement that each party would refrain from outing the opposing parties problem in exchange for like consideration. Things would get whitewashed. If one of ours goes down, one of yours goes down.

Well, you definitely shouldn't do it via electronic media that will survive forever and be used against you when the recipient sees fit.

You have Dem on Dem in the other one but it could be a power play there.

Looks like one woman is involved in both which makes me wonder about her personality, seeing that she tweets about using vibrators on planes it's probably not a huge stretch to think that the relationships may have delved into a gray area. Not saying it's OK.

Is Cornish married?

If you're talking about Quade, unlikely. She's married.......to a woman.

Not seeing why that matters, I never implied anything past inappropriate conversation doesn't matter gay or straight.
