The “nightmare” was a Senate Ethics Committee investigation that found Mr Packwood had been sexually harassing subordinates since the 1960s. Republicans remain devoted to President Donald Trump, who has been recorded boasting about sexual assault and whom at least 19 women have accused of sexual misconduct. Since Mr Trump’s election, more than 42,000 have. Half the Democrats’ first-time House candidates this year are women, up from 27% in 2016 (and far higher than the Republican share of less than 20%). The 2016 gender gap of 24 points (women supported Hillary Clinton by 13; men went for Mr Trump by 11) was already the largest on record. Women favour Democrats by 21; men favour Republicans by 3. That is not entirely due to sexual harassment, of course. Mr Trump has loudly defended multiple men accused of sexual misconduct, including Mr Moore; Rob Porter, one of his aides accused of spousal abuse; and Bill O’Reilly, who left Fox News amid sexual-harassment claims. Mr Trump has defended Mr Kavanaugh and cast doubt on his accusers. Withdrawing Mr Kavanaugh would mean admitting that historical accusations of sexual assault can be disqualifying, which leads back to the president.

The audience laughed during Trump's speech. Trump dismissed Deborah Ramirez’s sexual-misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, saying she “has nothing” because she was “drunk.” The Senate Judiciary Committee hired a female attorney to question Christine Blasey Ford at Thursday’s hearing on a sexual-assault allegation against Brett Kavanaugh. Bill Cosby was sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. Senator Elizabeth Warren unveiled a major housing bill that takes aim at segregation, redlining, restrictive zoning, and the loss of equity by low-income homeowners.

Image And now, the politics of age. And in the House, where the top three Democratic leaders are in hailing range of 80, there’s a certain, um, restlessness on the part of the young folks. Back in the day, student protesters yelled “Never trust anybody over 30!” The people who did the yelling are now in their 70s, and I dare say have a more expansive view. The current gap is much more polite. Yet over in the Senate, only one of the six members over 80 is a Democrat. Both are regarded as possible presidential contenders — the Democratic field may look rather advanced in years now, but once we get to 2019 we will have 10,000 candidates of every conceivable age. At the hearing, Booker demonstrated that it was possible to go too far in being fearsome when he made some allegedly confidential Kavanaugh records public and compared himself to Spartacus for his daring. Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader, is 78. She has been the top Democrat in the House for 16 years. Her two deputy leaders are 78 and 79, and the party is captive of a seniority system that would make a 52-year-old like Himes, with a mere nine years in the House, despair.

Republican congressional candidate Janice Arnold-Jones hasn’t won an election for public office in 10 years. Her losing streak is sure to continue this fall based on the laws of gravity. It’s impossible for Arnold-Jones to climb in the polls with both feet embedded in her mouth. She killed any chance she had in the congressional race by taking a potshot at the Native American roots of her opponent, Democrat Deb Haaland. “If anything, I’m guilty of sounding petty,” she told me in an interview. Earhardt said Haaland would be the first Native American woman in Congress. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who says she is part Cherokee and part Delaware Indian, already is a member of Congress. Arnold-Jones said this led to her skeptical tone about Haaland breaking the barrier. The point I was making is we are more similar than different,” she told me. But she later conceded that her comment about Haaland not living on a reservation had opened her to criticism.

Harvard University’s decision to hire Elizabeth Warren as a law professor in the 1990s was not based on any assertion that she has Native American heritage, according to a report by the Boston Globe. Elizabeth Warren seeks to use Trump Pocahontas 'racial slur' as political tool Read more Warren is now a US senator from Massachusetts and a possible liberal contender for the Democratic presidential nomination. Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to Warren as “Pocahontas”, mocking her claims of heritage. The Globe reported that interviews and documents show the issue was not considered by Harvard Law faculty or those who admitted Warren to law school at Rutgers or to jobs at the University of Houston, the University of Texas and the University of Pennsylvania. “It was just not an issue. I can’t remember anybody ever mentioning her in this context.” The Globe reported that it examined hundreds of documents, many never before available, and talked to 31 law school professors from that period at Harvard. One said he was unsure if the issue came up, but if it did, it had no bearing on his vote. On Sunday, Warren posted to her website documents related to her job and school applications and again asserted that her heritage played no role in her career advancement. “My family is my family,” she told the Globe. She has repeatedly said she is not running for president in 2020, but continues to position herself as a national leader in the Democratic party.
