Morton Klein is the head of the Zionists of America, a far-right group closely allied with Republican politicians and heavily funded by Republican donors. There are allegations of sexual harassment against him.
In one case, he demanded a young woman whom a lecherous donor had noticed and made sexual comments go meet with the donor. When she refused, he berated her until she quit. Allyson Taylor who was about to take a position at Zionists of America withdrew her application claiming Klein harassed her during the interview. His wife also sought an order of protection alleging abuse, but she now disavows that blaming her lawyer, now deceased.
The additional coverage references the Tablet Magazine expose, but there is almost no coverage at all.
UPDATE: A new lawsuit against ZOA alleges Mort Klein created an atmosphere of racism and sexism at the organization.
