Heidi reviews a number of recent political sex harassment scandals — Ron Weinberg, the attacks against Yara Zokaie, Weston Imer’s leaked photos, Mitch LaKind’s alleged comments, Steve Lebsock, Tay Anderson, etc. etc.

Also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Corrections: Steve Lebsock did not resign from the legislature, he was expelled. Laurel Imer ran for CD7. KUNC is out of Greeley. The investigation into Tay Anderson substantiated “flirtatious social media contact” with a, singular, 16-year-old Denver Public Schools student while he was a board member, not plural “students” as stated in the podcast.
