Listen: Taxpayers paid $100K for this former congressman’s sexual harassment settlement

Disgraced Democratic congressman Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) cost taxpayers $100,000 when the Congressional Office of Compliance secretly paid to settle sexual harassment claims from at least two young male staffers.

Congress has been under extra scrutiny after sexual misconduct allegations against Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) brought to light decades’ worth of sexual harassment cases settled with taxpayer money.

Massa resigned in 2010 when he faced an ethics investigation into reports that he sexually harassed multiple people in his staff.

On today’s show, Doc shared the latest story showing why Congress needs to stop covering up sexual harassment settlements that taxpayers are paying for.

To see more from Doc, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson” weekdays 6 a.m. – 9 a.m. ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
