After Saying It’s Not a ‘Watershed’ Moment on Sexual Harassment Debbie Dingell Now Says It Should Be

RUSH EXCERPT:

DINGELL: "You know, on Friday I wasn’t planning on going out and doing that me too moment because I know that there are consequences. And the point that I was trying to make on Friday was that there are women across the country, restaurant workers, tip waitresses, factory floors, law firms, corporations. So I don’t know a woman that doesn’t have a story, Andrea, in all places all across the country. What are we trying to accomplish from this right now? And that is to look forward. And how do we change the culture and make this not — it’s safer for us to talk about it. But if you’re from Hollywood or the media or on Capitol Hill, though I got a lot of ugly comments on Friday but also had a waitress that was 21 years old say to me, you spoke for me today. A woman who told me, a 22-year-old woman that her boss told her to close the door and get up on the table to dance. Let’s really make this a watershed moment that men and women across the country work together to look forward to changing the culture."
