The uproar over sexual harassment that began with the Harvey Weinstein scandal has intensified the scrutiny of political contributions linked to Backpage, which law enforcement officials say is the chief platform for activities far worse than harassment, including sexual slavery and child prostitution.

Former Arizona congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick says she will donate money linked to Backpage.com that was given to her campaign, months after other Arizona Democrats unloaded campaign contributions linked to the embattled website. Democrat U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema donated $53,400 to the charity earlier this year for similar Backpage contributions.
Now why do you suppose an organization that promotes sex slavery and child pornography would be donating to the campaign of someone in Congress?

On another front, when the Office of Compliance pays money to women and men who are charging sexual harassment, do the recipients have to pay taxes on it, and if so, what is it called? Bonus? Service? Pay? Why is this so hard to nail down? One source lists 62 politicians so far, almost all Democrats, but some appear to have been paid off out of the Congressman's office budget.
