GRASSLEY's top aide Garrett VENTRY gone for his own sexual harassment. CRC p.r. stooge

[UTUSN]

Via an embedded post by DUer IllinoisBirdWatcher. So GRASSLEY hired him *after* his history of sexual harassment, plus this CRC outfit is the one connected to the SwiftBots and recently pushing the WHELAN conspiracy theory of "mistaken identity" of KAVANAUGH. What a slimy crew.

Grassley staffer promoting Kavanaugh resigns after his own history of sexual harassment is revealed

A top staffer for Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is leaving his position with the Senate Judiciary Committee after it was discovered that he was fired from a previous job over charges of sexual harassment. Garrett Ventry was fired from his position as social media adviser for the North Carolina House Majority Leader in 2017. He was then hired by Chuck Grassley as a communications aide and given charge over communications for the Judiciary Committee. Ventry has been the point man for Grassley in fielding questions about Kavanaugh.

Ventry’s history was surfaced by Heidi Przybyla at NBC News. He denied the charges of sexual misconduct, but would not discuss the reasons for his firing. Republicans connected with the effort to confirm Kavanaugh insist that Ventry is leaving out of concerns that he “could not be an effective spokesman.”

On Friday, Ventry denied that Grassley was connected to the blame-someone-else scheme published on Twitter by Republican insider Ed Whelan. Ventry has appeared on Fox News to express disdain for the charges against Kavanaugh and Democratic insistence that there be an investigation.

Ventry appears still to be employed at CRC Public Relations, a prominent GOP firm helping to promote Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court, according to a Zoom Info listing dated July 25, 2018. NBC has reached out to CRC for comment.

CRC would not just be the group doing PR for Kavanaugh’s nomination, but also the group that was helping to push Ed Whelan’s blame-someone-else theory. They are also the people behind the Swift Boat campaign that spent months impugning John Kerry’s military service. Ventry was simultaneously employed as the communication director of the Senate Judiciary Committee and by CRC, a group pushing right wing propaganda. That’s super special.

And as it turns out, Grassley hired the guy because he was actually working for CRC. ....

4. The smell of grease MUST attract other greasy rat-fuckers

Cause they tend to congregate together, don't they?

11. My first thought was ...don't they do background checks on gov. employees?

Then I figured, yes..and that is why they hired him.

only the finest scum.

6. CRC? Never heard about them until today. What a rancid group of nasty people.

Whoever would have believed that nice Mr. Grassley would enlist someone from that organization? <choke, gasp, gag>

So glad this man's name surfaced when it did. Hope it wasn't too late.

Thanks for the information, UTUSN.

7. Getting lots of pro-kav. ads locally on TV; wonder if all states equally;

I don't remember ANY Supreme Court ads in the past.

8. There's good money in misogyny, it seems.

Another member of the toxic GOP lie machine has to look for a new job -- and he'll get hired by some other outfit specializing in rodent animal husbandry in about a day and a half.

9. K&R. Very important to note the connection. And to note these are high level power brokers in action

together, not just some miscellaneous people acting individually.

10. If any of you are from California, please call Feinstein and Harris to bring this to their

attention and demand an ethics investigation and resignation into Grassley.
