Newly elected Democrat Brian Poindexter under investigation for sexual harassment involving a campaign volunteer

Is there something in the water in Ohio’s 7th congressional district or something? Communist Brian Poindexter, who beat scumbag, and alleged woman abuse Max Miller is now under investigation for sexual harassment of a campaign staffer.

🚨 BREAKING: The Washington Post reports that newly elected Ohio Democrat Brian Poindexter is under investigation over allegations of sexual harassment involving a campaign volunteer.

Poindexter defeated Rep. Max Miller in Ohio’s 7th District. The allegation centers on a comment he called an “innocuous compliment,” which the volunteer said made her uncomfortable. Poindexter says he felt awful after learning about her reaction.

The DCCC has hired an outside firm to investigate, and two Democratic groups have withdrawn their support.

Poindexter is still expected to be sworn into Congress in January.

Brian Poindexter just flipped Max Miller’s Ohio seat for the Democrats. Days later, even CNN’s own reporter couldn’t dodge the obvious question on air: “𝘚𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯.”

Here’s what was going on. On Oct. 28 — six days before Election Day — the Blue Dog PAC quietly scrubbed its endorsement of Poindexter from its website. Four days later, on Nov. 1, just two days before the polls opened, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC did the same. Archived webpages show both removals happened before a single ballot was counted. 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫.

Poindexter’s campaign didn’t deny it happened — it just downplayed it, calling his remark “𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫.” “𝘏𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘧𝘶𝘭,” the campaign said, while announcing it had brought in an outside HR firm. The DCCC opened its own review soon after.

This is the party that built its brand on “𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧” and zero tolerance for harassment. Yet when a volunteer said a candidate made her uncomfortable, Democratic leadership’s instinct wasn’t disclosure — it was damage control. They pulled the endorsements, stayed silent on why, and let Poindexter cruise past Miller without ever telling voters a complaint existed at all.

The DCCC had already put Poindexter on its “Red to Blue” target list, betting the flip was worth more than a warning to voters. He wasn’t invited to freshman orientation for either the Blue Dogs or the Progressive Caucus — a quiet signal his own party isn’t ready to vouch for him.

Bruh does kind of look like Eric Swalwell.
