An inappropriate joke by an MP is not really a #MeToo moment: Robyn Urback
James Bezan's quip was supremely dumb. But it shouldn't be conflated with the stories of chronic abuse |
I'm still of the notion that the Liberals were getting their heads bashed in on Morneau, and Trudeau failing in China needed a distraction and wanted to use this. It'd be interesting to see why Bezan stood up in Parliment when he did to get "on top of this" maybe he heard that the Liberal's were going to use this.
The next step has to be for Bezan to release a copy of his apology letter that Romanado says wasn't dressed as an apology to her.
At the end of the day this was investigated and wasn't deemed to be sexual harassment, it was a joke in incredibly bad taste that he should have been apologizing for. But her saying that it created workplace stress, come on get serious.
This to me isn't some #metoo moment, this is a gross use of a serious issue for political gains, and if that's true then the Liberals should be ashamed of themselves.
i would expect we'll see a $10,000 expense claim from Romanado for counseling.
