(56,829 posts)I'm sure plenty of male candidates have been as demanding or worse.
(I'm not a Klobuchar supporter or a Harris supporter - just thought it was strange that I'd never heard that about any previous candidate before Klobuchar...)

(1,086 posts)Has there been any accusations of singling out a staffer for abuse or even playing favorites?
Even the famous Comb/Fork scene happened in private and was as much a joke to bring home the point to think ahead. As body person it was their job to do so. Heck the candidate herself didn't have a problem talking about it.
Throwing a binder onto a desk even if in temper is not throwing a book at a staffer. Having the staff wash the dishes after her constituent Thursday brunches is not abuse. Calling a Senator to ask them to stop poaching staff is not trying to block a staffers career.
It is very recently as more women have become Senators that 6 or 7 Women are not in the top 10 of Staff turn over. Tell me there isn't a gender component in that.
One other thing. We hear no stories about that kind of "abuse" from her time as a prosecutor and Even more telling we have had no stories about like that about her campaign and you can be sure every reporter is looking for them now.
