Did today move us forward?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill said \u201cit\u2019s not enough\u201d for Cuomo to leave office voluntarily. \u201cWe have to recognize is that harassment of women is an extension of violence against women. And that`s a much more pervasive problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers must \u201cdo something basic like pass the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2021\/04\/dont-buy-the-deceptive-marketing-of-the-violence-against-women-act\/\">Violence Against Women Act<\/a>,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Hasan asked what Hill thought of the alleged \u201cRepublican double standard when it comes to holding their bad actors accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill agreed that \u201cthere is absolutely no comparison\u201d between the parties, adding that she resigned from Congress purely out of personal integrity. \u201cIt was my own decision. It wasn\u2019t people who were calling for it.\u201d In reality, her <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2019\/10\/22\/katie-hill-resign-staffer-affair-photos\/\">challenger<\/a>and many constituents had called on her to resign; she faced a House Ethics Committee investigation over the improper relationship; and news had broken that Hill had paid Desjardins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/rep-katie-hill-paid-female-lover-thousands-of-dollars-in-consulting-fees\">hundreds of thousands of dollars<\/a> in campaign donations as a consultant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that there\u2019s is an inherent tendency to protect people in power,\u201d Hill told Hasan on Tuesday. \u201cWe have to constantly be on the lookout [to ask], \u2018Are we holding ourselves accountable?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving office, Hill has consistently said her promising political career had been cut short by \u201cbiphobia,\u201d\u201cRepublican operatives,\u201d and \u201can abusive husband who seems determined to try to humiliate me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She sued three conservative news outlets, including the UK\u2019s Daily Mail, for publishing nude photographs that established her affair with Desjardins. But Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco did not believe the photos constituted \u201crevenge porn\u201d and ordered Hill to pay the outlets approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/katie-hill-democratic-ex-congresswoman-in-throuple-must-pay-conservative-newspaper-105k-after-lawsuit-backfires\">$220,000<\/a> in attorney fees.<\/p>\n<p>Hill\u2019s former staffers also reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/former-staff-hijacks-democrat-katie-hills-gov-twitter-account-accuses-her-of-abuse-not-a-hero-for-women\">rejected<\/a> her story. \u201cFormer staff\u201d apparently took over Hill\u2019s official Twitter account as the scandal broke, posting a <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201007053511\/https:\/twitter.com\/RepKatieHill\/status\/1313703834603024384\">series of tweets<\/a> casting Hill as an abuser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKatie Hill\u2019s story \u2014 our story \u2014 is also one of workplace abuse and harassment,\u201d they wrote. \u201cKatie took advantage of her subordinates. She caused immense harm to the people who worked for her, many of whom were young women just beginning their careers in politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to advance the #MeToo movement, we must be willing to acknowledge the problematic behaviors among those in our own communities. Only then will we see true progress,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>But the circumstances of Hill\u2019s resignation have not kept her from becoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/3-democrats-the-media-are-thirsty-to-have-back-in-politics\">a fixture on left-wing cable news networks<\/a>MSNBC and CNN, where fawning hosts have often encouraged her to get back into politics. In June the host of CNN\u2019s \u201cNew Day,\u201d Brianna Keilar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/3-democrats-the-media-are-thirsty-to-have-back-in-politics\">asked<\/a> Hill \u201cWill you run again?\u201d When Hill evaded the question, Keilar responded, \u201cWe will keep asking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=E0ZWqvVbYvY&#038;start=501&#038;feature=oembed\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=E0ZWqvVbYvY&amp;start=501&amp;feature=oembed<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/3-democrats-the-media-are-thirsty-to-have-back-in-politics\">https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/3-democrats-the-media-are-thirsty-to-have-back-in-politics<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/katie-hill-democratic-ex-congresswoman-in-throuple-must-pay-conservative-newspaper-105k-after-lawsuit-backfires\">https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/katie-hill-democratic-ex-congresswoman-in-throuple-must-pay-conservative-newspaper-105k-after-lawsuit-backfires<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/katie-hill-sex-scandal-worsens-staffer-felt-abused-in-toxic-relationship-consent-questions-emerge-report-says\">https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/katie-hill-sex-scandal-worsens-staffer-felt-abused-in-toxic-relationship-consent-questions-emerge-report-says<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/former-staff-hijacks-democrat-katie-hills-gov-twitter-account-accuses-her-of-abuse-not-a-hero-for-women\">https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/former-staff-hijacks-democrat-katie-hills-gov-twitter-account-accuses-her-of-abuse-not-a-hero-for-women<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
