I think that it&#8217;s ridiculous that people don&#8217;t recognize the power imbalance that exists here on Capitol Hill, and it&#8217;s extraordinarily inappropriate if you are the member and you are trying to put the moves on your own staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cammack continued, &#8220;Listen, I don&#8217;t want the government involved in people&#8217;s love lives, but what we have seen is, like I said, a culture of creepiness where you have members that are soliciting staff, they&#8217;re approaching staff, they&#8217;re putting them in very awkward situations, and that&#8217;s just wrong. And so, I wouldn&#8217;t feel comfortable sending my daughter to work here on Capitol Hill, and until I feel like that is changed, we&#8217;re gonna keep going to try to figure out ways to make Capitol Hill a safe place to work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, you would tell parents not to send their kids to work up here?&#8221; Manr\u00edquez clarified.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not in this environment, no,&#8221; said Cammack decidedly.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/republican-says-she-wouldnt-want-daughter-to-work-on-capitol-hill-due-to-culture-of-creepiness\/\">Republican Says She Wouldn\u2019t Want Daughter to Work on Capitol Hill Due to \u2018Culture of Creepiness\u2019<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\">Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AP Photo\/Jacquelyn Martin Rep.
