Hill aide continues work for men behaving badly

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 22, 2017

Stacey Kafka, a new Hill staffer, has a way of picking bosses. 

Last summer, the Illinois native took a job as a spokesperson for Oregon gubernatorial candidate Bud Pierce, only to quit very publicly in early October when the candidate made headlines over insensitive comments about domestic violence.

Kafka then moved on to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, joining just as Trump's infamous video with Billy Bush became public.

Now, Kafka has landed a job as press secretary to a lawmaker who once registered the domain name "blow-me.org." That lawmaker is Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), who has received his fair share of attention for his alleged conduct with women. A previous occupant of Kafka's position sued the Texas Republican for sexual harassment, settling the case out of court.
