“There was a pattern to his behavior. I would be called into Roger’s office, he would shut the door, and over the next hour or two, he would engage in a kind of cat-and-mouse game with me—veering between obviously inappropriate sexually charged comments (e.g. about the ‘very sexy bras’ I must have and how he’d like to see me in them) and legitimate professional advice,” Kelly alleges, according to Radar.
Kelly says she rejected every advance, but her former boss “crossed a new line” in 2006, when he allegedly grabbed her and tried to kiss her on the lips. “He asked me an ominous question, ‘When is your contract up?’ And then, for the third time, he tried to kiss me.”
She writes that she reported him to a supervisor, and the harassment stopped after six months.
.. Kelly called Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairman of 21st Century Fox, directly, and told him and the firm’s general counsel about Ailes’s behavior.

.. said the polls themselves were biased, all of it, he said, amounting to voter suppression.
“It’s called voter suppression because people will say, ‘Oh, gee, Trump’s down,’” Mr. Trump told the crowd, before reminding it, “Well, folks, we’re winning.”
.. Toward that end, Mr. Trump’s campaign will begin airing its own form of programming on Facebook Live, offering daily reports from campaign officials on what it says is the real state of the race.
.. “There’s no way any of those polls are real,” said Bill Stelling, 44, a real estate agent from Jacksonville, Fla. “If you’ve gone around throughout the country and seen what’s going on, you go through any neighborhood and see how many Trump signs there are and how many Hillary signs there are, and I guarantee you it’s not even going to be close. It’s not even going to be close.”
Liberals Hope Elizabeth Warren Will Serve as Clinton’s Scrutinizer in Chief
And few surrogates have been able to rattle Mr. Trump like Ms. Warren, who has called the Republican nominee a “thin-skinned bully who thinks humiliating women at 3 a.m. qualifies him to be president.”
On Monday, Ms. Warren took furious aim at Mr. Trump’s comments about women and the sexual assault allegations against him.
