Video emerges from 1989 of Bill Scheutte (running for MI Gov) being a creep.

This triggered icky memories for me. I think just about every woman has most likely experienced something like this in the past. He calls it "a poor attempt at humor." I call it him being a lecherous creep. It was for an interview, for crying out loud. I can't wait to cast my vote for Gretchen Whitmer.

It looks like the woman is responsibie for setting up a video shoot, and she's asking him to move closer to the lamp, etc. She's doing her job and he's harassing her with sexual innuendo.

As a woman, this is something I experienced in the workplace for many years. It was certainly rampant in the 1980s and 90s. Men who do this are not really "attracted" to the women they harass. It's a power play. These men resent and fear female professionals. By attempting to treat us like whores, they seek to undermine our status as professionals.

You can hear the woman continuing to try to do her job, alternately ignoring and cajoling him.

This brings back memories.
