California Democratic Party chairman Eric Bauman is facing accusations of sexual harassment and assault, reports the far-left Washington Post.
The vice chairman of California’s Democrat Party, Daraka Larimore-Hall, told the Post “he sent a letter Tuesday to the party’s secretary calling for Bauman’s removal after being approached by several party staff members who told him that they had been sexually harassed and assaulted by Bauman.”

Bauman is the first openly gay chairman of the state party.

Bauman is refusing to step down, so Larimore-Hall has “initiated the formal process of calling for Bauman to be ousted,” reports the Post.

Larimore-Hall describes the accusers as “brave souls [who] have come forward, they have been joined by others with similar stories and experience.” He further describes the allegations as “credible, corroborated and utterly heart-breaking.”
