REPORT: Hillary Ignored Requests In 2008 That She Fire Advisor Who Allegedly Sexually Harassed An Aide

Hank Berrien

On Friday, The New York Times reported that in 2008, Hillary Clinton ignored requests that she remove a man who was her “faith advisor” from her presidential campaign because he had been accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young female aide.

As Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick write, Burns Strider, who was a co-founder of the American Values Network, was only punished by losing several weeks of pay and undergoing counseling, despite the fact he had, according to the young female victim who was 30 at the time, rubbed her shoulders inappropriately, kissed her on the forehead and sent her a series of suggestive emails, one of which was sent during the night. The young woman has claimed she signed a nondisclosure agreement preventing her from publicly discussing the internal workings of the campaign.
