Has Kirsten Gillibrand ever named names of her harassers in Congress?

I have no doubts that she was subject to harassment. What bothers me is why the names of these people have never been revealed. For all the talk about her taking a stand against workplace harassment, it seems like she is protecting their identities. Why is that? My guess is that there are Democrats involved, and it would be political suicide if she outed them. This is why I don't trust her motives.

So it's no more than her lack of naming names which compel your distrust? LanternWaste Jul 2018 #3

Seems rather biased... but I'm certain you'll allege otherwise.
