California Democratic Party Pays More Than $2.9 Million to Settle Harassment, Discrimination Claims

[Libtards Can't Stop Thinking About Trump]

The California Democratic Party agreed to settle three lawsuits at a
cost of more than $2.9 million in an attempt to put to rest a
scandal involving alleged harassment and misconduct by its former
chairman.

In one of the cases involving three plaintiffs—Tina McKinnor, the
party’s former operations director; John Vigna, its former
communications director; and Spencer Dayton, an activist—who alleged
sexual assault, harassment and racial discrimination, the state
Democratic Party is paying more than $1 million to settle, according
to a person with knowledge of the matter.

In addition, the state party said it has come to a settlement
agreement with William Floyd, who alleged he was sexually assaulted
by former party Chairman Eric Bauman, who resigned in late 2018, on
multiple occasions while serving as his personal assistant.

The party agreed to pay Mr. Floyd $1.75 million but admitted no
wrongdoing, according to a settlement agreement reviewed by The Wall
Street Journal.

The third case involved Brendan Stepp, a video editor who had been
employed by the party and claimed Mr. Bauman repeatedly made
unwanted sexual advances and harassed him. The settlement payment in
that case was $150,000, according to a person with knowledge of the
agreement.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys in all three cases confirmed settlements were
reached or dismissal motions were filed recently.

The state party said in a statement Friday that it has reached all
three settlements.
