UPDATE: Turns out my apparently incorrect assumption that this was a man harassing a woman was so 20th century. So while the “war on women” meme remains in ruins thanks to Hilary Rosen, it might be the Democrats as gays’ best friends meme taking the hit here.
Democrats nationwide have been accusing the Republican Party of waging a “war on women,” a meme launched by the set-up appearance of Sandra Fluke at a fake congressional hearing a few weeks ago. But after Democratic operative Hilary Rosen trashed Ann Romney and all stay-at-home moms yesterday, that meme took a big veracity hit.
And today we get more evidence from North Carolina, via The Daily Caller and not your state’s biggest newspapers, that the “war on women” tag may truly be more appropriately hung around the neck of Democrats:
A former North Carolina Democratic Party staffer was sexually harassed by a party official, made a financial settlement with the party and signed a non-disclosure agreement to keep the incident quiet, according to emails obtained by The Daily Caller.
“If this hits the media, the Democratic Party, our candidates, and our credibility are doomed in this election,” reads one email exchange between state Democratic leaders.
An email chain between those Democratic leaders, obtained by The Daily Caller, indicates the executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party, Jay Parmley, and the alleged sexual harassment victim both signed non-disclosure agreements.
The email chain does not make clear who was guilty of the alleged harassment, the status of that individual’s employment with the Democratic Party or the identity of the victim.
