JUST IN: New Revelation Puts Jill Biden At Center Of Growing ‘Me Too’ Scandal
New allegations have surfaced implicating First Lady Jill Biden’s aide, Anthony Bernal, in a burgeoning ‘Me Too’ scandal within the White House. According to former Biden aides who spoke with the New York Post, Bernal, 50, stands accused of sexual harassment and creating a toxic workplace culture where he remains seemingly ‘untouchable’ by human resources due to his friendship with the first lady.
“It is to make people uncomfortable and to have power over them,” said one source, describing Bernal’s behavior. “It is Me Too — classic Me Too,” the source added. Bernal has a history of inappropriate behavior, allegedly speculating about the genitals of colleagues and even Secret Service agents assigned to the first family’s detail.
“It was a lot of inappropriate remarks — talking about other people’s attractiveness and speculating about their sex lives at very weird moments… that’s actually sexual harassment,” said one source. “I have heard him say inappropriate things about people’s sexuality or pry inappropriately into people’s personal lives,” another added.
These allegations have prompted criticism of the Biden administration’s handling of the situation. Some argue that it is hypocritical for Jill Biden to retain Bernal on staff while espousing values of integrity and decency.
“It reflects poorly on the president and the first lady,” one source said. “They talk a big game about integrity, decency, and kindness but when you work for the Bidens, you experience anything but that,” added another.
The White House has vehemently defended Bernal, with Biden’s chief of staff expressing full confidence in his character. “The president and first lady have full confidence in Anthony’s character, as do I. His many fans at the White House know him to be both gracious and tough, holding himself up to the highest standards, with a heart dedicated to public service,” the chief of staff stated.
However, these reassurances have not quelled concerns about Bernal’s behavior and the broader workplace culture within the White House. “I don’t think people understand how much power and influence he has. The problem is it is career-ending for anyone to talk on the record for these stories,” said one source.
“He’s seen as untouchable due to his relationship with the first lady,” one former White House official said. “Staff have been told he’s ‘protected’ by Jill or that they should take it up with him directly.” As the scandal unfolds, it raises questions about accountability and the need for a more respectful and professional work environment within the highest levels of American politics.
