Lujan Grisham Settles Sexual Misconduct Case With Former Aide

The double standard of the media is no secret to anyone, particularly when it comes to sexual misconduct allegations against Republican and Democrat lawmakers.

The latest involves Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham of New Mexico. I've long suspected that she's one strange cookie, and the following confirms my suspicions.

From The Daily Wire:

A story that won’t receive as much media attention as one involving a male Republican governor, the female Democratic governor of New Mexico’s 2018 campaign recently reached a settlement with a former male aide who accused her of sexual misconduct.

The Albuquerque Journal reported that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM)’s campaign reached a settlement with James Hallinan, who worked as a spokesperson for her 2018 gubernatorial campaign.

Hallinan claimed in late 2019 — a year after leaving the campaign — that during the campaign, Lujan Grisham had poured a bottle of water on his crotch and then grabbed his crotch through his clothing while laughing. Hallinan claimed other staffers witnessed this event.

Lujan Grisham’s campaign spokesman Jared Leopold said in a statement Monday that the payment to Hallinan — which amounts to at least $62,500 paid out over five months — was part of a settlement that resolved “numerous dubious and disputed potential claims made by Mr. Hallinan arising from his employment in 2018 with the campaign organization and his subsequent search for employment.”

If the incident was as "dubious and disputed" as Lujan Grisham's campaign say it is, I sure has heck wouldn't pay Hallinan a dime, even if the pay-off came from the campaign coffers, and would fight it out in court to clear my name. In this case, where there's smoke, there's fire maybe?

To liberal media outlets, the "real" story is not Lujan Grisham's ball-grabbing, it is the GOP for "pouncing" on the story.
