Gretchen Carlson: Gov. Shapiro’s Response to Sexual Harassment by Top Aide Could Be a Bigger Problem for Harris

COLLINS: “How do you see that?”
Carlson: “Well, you know, there’s a little known story about Governor Shapiro that’s starting to gain some traction, and it happened last year when his top aide was accused of sexual harassment of a subordinate, and there were criticisms about the governor‘s response to this and the fact that it took so long for him to actually say much about it or, in fact, for this — for this aide to resign. Meantime, the woman, of course, was pushed out. And I think in 2024 — I would know something about this after suing Fox News and Roger Ailes for harassment back in 2016 — you know, this doesn‘t cut it in 2024 anymore. You can‘t put these stories under the carpet and expect to not have people talk about them. So Governor Shapiro, in my mind, should let that woman out of her nondisclosure agreement tonight, tomorrow, and possibly put out a press statement about how he maybe should have handled it slightly different. He‘s never actually said anything about the aide as far as any kind of criticism. And when you‘re running with a female candidate at the top of the ticket and you are looking for the female votes, this story could become a much bigger problem, speaking of that.”
