DC is a disgusting place. No secret there.
Only a very strong person of morals can go there and not fall prey to what is considered routine in that place.
There was an article years ago, on Breitbart, about just how bad it was. One of their senior writers detailed going to an event with many members of Congress and some weren’t even shy about it. Hitting on his wife/girlfriend, right in front of him.
I witnessed an episode while working in Iraq with a member of Congress putting his hands on a State Dept staffer. She was not happy. Neither were the guys watching it happen, who were all within 6’ of her, as we were all engaged in a conversation. Most of us were familiar with her as we worked with her often due to her job. And she was considered one of the “cool ones”. Pretty sh*tty stuff. Nothing any of us could do.
It happens everywhere. But yeah. It doesn't help that it's in D.C.
