We swear we have said this before, but Democrats are so often guilty of the scandals and dirty dealings they accuse others of.
Take the case of former New York City Mayor and current Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg and sexual harassment allegations against the company he founded.
There have been lawsuits by 17 women against his company, claiming that there was a culture of harassment and discrimination that existed within it.

In 2007 Bloomberg and his company were named in a lawsuit that claimed that there was discrimination at his company against mothers and pregnant women, The Daily Mail reported.
The U.S. District Court of Manhattan eventually dismissed claims from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of more than 70 women who worked at the company.

The lawsuit alleged the women would have their pay cut, be excluded from management meetings and be demoted, but the suit was dismissed after ‘not enough statistical evidence’ could be found reports Business Insider.
Some women were told, ‘You are not committed,’ and ‘You do not want to be here’ because of the extra demands being placed on their time as new parents, according to the suit.

‘It’s like stealing money from Mike Bloomberg’s wallet,’ a plaintiff quoted the editor as saying while referring to women at the company who went on maternity leave. ‘It’s theft. They should be arrested.’
But it gets worse for the former mayor, as one lawsuit in the 1990s alleged that he told one of his female employee’s to have an abortion.
“He told me to ‘kill it’ in a serious monotone voice,” she said. “I asked ‘What? What did you just say?’ He looked at me and repeated in a deliberate manner ‘kill it.’”
“’The atmosphere was toxic and harassing, with locker room atmosphere that was a sexually harassing atmosphere,” attorney Bonnie Josephs to said.
“If Mr. Bloomberg is running for president, I think the public needs to know what actually happened in this business,” she said.

“It’s his company, it’s his business. He frames the atmosphere. He has to be responsible for it.,” the attorney, who has spoken to numerous women involved in the lawsuits, said.
In a 2016 lawsuit another woman claimed she was raped by a coworker when she was drunk and developed a dependency on drugs that were hidden for her in the office.
“Mr. Bloomberg, Bloomberg’s founder, CEO, and President, and the former three-term Mayor of New York, encouraged this type of sexist and sexually charged behavior,” the woman said.,
“Bloomberg’s notoriously sexist and hostile work environment has been well documented and has been the subject of myriad law suits prior to this lawsuit,” it said.

But it is not just the company. It is the former mayor himself who has been accused of being inappropriate.
“Bloomberg would gawk at women and say about their legs, ‘I like that,” one former employee said in 1995. “He defended his attitude by saying it keeps him young.”
