This place is absolute Tinderbox for sexual misconduct.
It has been for as long as there's been a Congress.
To a degree, this is a little bit like a dog biting the man versus a man biting the dog.
We almost expect a rhythm that there'd be sexual misconduct among members of Congress.
That is a horrible thing, but it's reality.
Think of some of the dynamics at play here, Ben.
You have very young people, some fresh out of college,
Far from home, working for bosses who have no oversight and no accountability.
And you have these members of Congress three days a week away from their spouses here in Washington, boozed up.
It's a terrible combination of things.
No single person is to blame for the broader
risk, but they sure are t done with their staff.
It they need to consider mor young men and women who w work for a very discount of the U. S. Congress.
I'm glad you asked, because one thing really jumped out at me today.
I interviewed a bunch of senators on a bunch of things.
There was one moment with, of all people, Senator Cynthia Loomis, Republican from Wyoming.
I think the Trumpiest state in America.
I think Wyoming is, and she certainly has been a MAGA ally.
We asked her about gas prices, because we've been asking a lot of people what they make of this.
And Senator Loomis says, I will admit I'm really concerned where this is going.
