The misogyny is coming from inside the House. And the Senate.
By 
From time to time I get the impression that there are misogynists in the Republican Party.
A press adviser helping lead the Senate Judiciary Committee’s response to a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has stepped down amid evidence he was fired from a previous political job in part because of a sexual harassment allegation against him.
Garrett Ventry, 29, who served as a communications aide to the committee chaired by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, had been helping coordinate the majority party’s messaging in the wake of Christine Blasey Ford’s claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago at a high school party. In a response to NBC News, Ventry denied any past “allegations of misconduct.”
Just like the guy Republicans are trying to load into the Supreme Court. And the guy who picked the guy they’re trying to load into the Supreme Court. They should start a club. But finding a space big enough to hold them all might be a challenge.
After NBC News raised questions about Ventry’s employment history and the sexual harassment allegation against him, Judiciary Committee Spokesman Taylor Foy replied in a statement: “While (Ventry) strongly denies allegations of wrongdoing, he decided to resign to avoid causing any distraction from the work of the committee.”
Ventry also resigned Saturday from the public relations company where he had been on a temporary leave of absence to work for the Judiciary Committee, a company spokesman told NBC News.
Of course the PR company is CRC Public Relations, which was last seen generating buzz for Ed Whelan’s completely ethical attempt to frame one of Brett Kavanaugh’s classmates for sexual assault. In a Tweet Ventry said that the Senate Judiciary Committee didn’t know about CRC’s work with Whelan, and if we can’t believe a man who fibbed on his resume and allegedly can’t treat women with respect, who can we believe? Clearly it would be rash and foolish to start connecting the dots that are so huge that they’re practically touching.
