Things are getting very messy now that First Lady Jill Biden's top aide, Anthony Bernal, has been accused of workplace sexual harassment and harassment.
Jill's 'work husband' in hot water
Last month, New York Times reporter Katie Rogers wrote in her book “American Women: The Transformation of Modern First Ladies from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden” that Jill relies heavily on Bernal.
According to The New York Post, the book says, “Jill and Bernal have a 'work marriage,' as Jill puts it, but his influence extends beyond the East Wing.” Rogers added that Bernal was “known to make life hell for junior aides who found him impatient, demanding and overbearing.”
“Sometimes people close to Jill question how aware she is of the executor’s abrupt nature, but she is not unaware of it,” Rogers continued. “She told him that her disgruntled people should raise her own concerns directly with him,” she said.
Multiple sources have since claimed that Bernal, 50, shared the theory that the size of a person's thumb corresponds to the size of their genitals.
“It’s about making people uncomfortable and exercising power over them,” one insider told The Post. “It’s me too. It’s classic me too.”
Another source claimed Bernal “frequently” speculates about the size of the penises of White House aides and Secret Service agents. A third insider recalled that during an argument at his workplace, Bernal “jabbed” his co-worker by claiming he had a small penis. The source added that in another incident, Bernal “remarked on a bulge in another employee's khaki pants.”
“There were a lot of inappropriate comments made, including talking about other people’s attractiveness and speculating about their sex lives at very odd moments,” the source said, adding, “It actually amounts to sexual harassment.”

Additional claims against Bernal
To make matters worse, four other sources claim that Bernal frequently speculated about the sexual orientation of his colleagues while working in the White House.
“I heard him say inappropriate things about people’s sexual orientation or pry inappropriately into people’s private lives,” a former colleague recalled of Bernal, who was openly gay. “I heard him ask me all the time if he was gay.”
“I can think of several instances where he made a big deal about whether someone was gay or not or said, ‘They’re definitely gay,’” another source said.
Some sources say it was “hypocritical” of Joe Biden to allow Bernal to continue working in the White House after the president said he would fire aides “on the spot if they show disrespect.” ” To people at work.
One source called Bernal's actions “a poor review of the president and first lady,” while another added, “They talk a big game about integrity, decency and kindness, but when you work for Biden you get to experience something that isn't the case.” He said. .”
“They make the President and First Lady look fake to everyone in Washington because they are surrounded by hoodlums who run around the White House like mean girls. Because everyone on the inside is talking about what’s happening on the outside,” the source continued.

White House Response – Bernal’s Position
Jill's closeness with Bernal made him seem “untouchable” to his colleagues.
“He is considered untouchable because of his relationship with the first lady,” said one former White House official. “Employees were told that Jill was ‘protecting’ him or that they should raise concerns directly with Jill.”
Of course, the White House issued a statement Monday defending Bernal.
“The President and First Lady have full confidence in Anthony’s character, as do I,” White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said. “His many fans in the White House know him to be gracious and strong, driven to the highest standards by his dedication to public service. “It is disappointing that he is being targeted with baseless attacks from an unnamed source,” he said.
Bernal also denied the allegations against him, saying, “The groundless attack is not true.”
All of this shows how hypocritical liberals really are. They claim it's all about kindness and empathy, but in private they're anything but!
