On top of all the other things that are going bad for Joe Biden, there were also more accusations this week regarding a top White House official Anthony Bernal.
Bernal is the senior advisor to Jill Biden, and with whom she reportedly says she’s in a “work marriage.” So, he’s her “work husband,” to use a term. According to the report from the NY Post, that gives him tremendous clout and makes him “untouchable.”
But he’s now been accused of having “bullied and verbally sexually harassed colleagues over more than a decade.”
Two sources said Bernal, 50, shared with them a theory that the size of a person’s thumb corresponds to that of their genitalia — citing the hypothesis both at the White House and in prior roles during President Biden’s campaign and vice presidency under President Barack Obama.
“It is to make people uncomfortable and to have power over them,” said one source who told The Post they heard Bernal make the crude remarks over several years while they worked together.
“It is Me Too — classic Me Too,” the source added.
A second source recounted hearing Bernal speculate “often” inside the White House about the endowments of fellow political aides and even Secret Service agents.
A third source recalled a disparaging “jab” during a workplace disagreement in which Bernal said a colleague had a small penis, as well as a separate encounter in which the top aide “remarked on another staffer’s bulge in his khakis.”
The third former colleague said both of those incidents occurred before Biden’s presidency.
“It was a lot of inappropriate remarks — talking about other people’s attractiveness and speculating about their sex lives at very weird moments,” the person said, adding that he had come to see “that’s actually sexual harassment.”
Maybe her”work husband “ is doing what her real husband can’t, if you know what I mean
