Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Dan Burton began his career as a state senator in Indiana before being elected to Congress. He was known for philandering and sexual harassment. “None of the [female] staff wanted to be caught in a hall with him,” recalls retired Indiana legislator Hurley Goodall, a Democrat who served with Burton until 1983, when Burton left for Washington.

Burton claimed to be a family values Republican and was vocally prudish in condemnation of Clinton and Bob Packwood, saying  “No one, regardless of what party they serve, no one, regardless of what branch of government they serve, should be allowed to get away with these alleged sexual improprieties”. 

However, he was accused of sexually assaulting a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood, putting his hands up her skirt. “I was there maybe thirty seconds and he had his hands up my skirt so fast I didn’t even know what was coming.” This came from The Flynt Report which had several other allegations as well, but the Flyn

He is also a rape apologist. He denies that Kavanaugh could have raped Christine Blasey Ford because she did not scream. She needed witnesses! He argues that if a woman does not fight and does not scream, it is not rape. It is a false accusation, not rape. When he was criticized for his ignorant and false arguments, he doubled down. Oddly enough, he is eager to call Black men, Muslim men, and South African men rapists.

Jud McMillin was reportedly a “rising star” in the Indiana Republican Party. He was elected in 2010 and quickly became the majority floor leader. He was considered the most ambitious in the caucus. That fell apart in 2015 when several suggestive and inappropriate texts were sent from his phone and sexual explicit video was also sent. This was followed by a message asking people to ignore what was sent because his phone was out of his hands and his control for several hours, but he had it back. But there was that sex video.

Curtis Hill was the Attorney General of Indiana after serving as a prosecutor for many years. When the legislative session ended in 2018, folks went to an area bar to celebrate. Four women came forward with complaints about him touching them inappropriately, including sliding his hands under their clothes and groping them in two cases. Additional women complained of him telling them they need to show more skin. There was an investigation, but it was centered on what liability the government might have which was none since it was an unofficial event and the women did not work for him.

Jeff Miller was an Indianapolis City Council member in his second term when he was charged with molesting a child, a ten-year-old girl who told her parents about his actions.
