According to former Biden aides speaking anonymously to the New York Post, Anthony Bernal, who is described as the First Lady Jill Biden’s “work husband”, is alleged to have openly sexually harassed colleagues over many years.
Bernal is said to have speculated about the genital sizes of coworkers and made inappropriate comments about their sexuality and personal lives on a regular basis.
Sources allege this constitutes a toxic workplace culture and “classic Me Too” situation.
“It is to make people uncomfortable and to have power over them,” one inside source said.
“It is Me Too — classic Me Too,” the source added.
However, they say Bernal remains “untouchable” due to his close friendship with Jill Biden, and that human resources is unable to discipline him.
The sources criticize what they view as hypocrisy given the Biden administration’s stated focus on dignity and integrity.
“It was a lot of inappropriate remarks — talking about other people’s attractiveness and speculating about their sex lives at very weird moments… that’s actually sexual harassment,” another source said.
“I have heard him say inappropriate things about people’s sexuality or pry inappropriately into people’s personal lives,” another added. “I heard him ask if people are gay all the time.”
“It reflects poorly on the president and the first lady,” one source said.
“They talk a big game about integrity, decency, and kindness but when you work for the Bidens, you experience anything but that,” added another.
“I don’t think people understand how much power and influence he has. The problem is it is career-ending for anyone to talk on the record for these stories,” one source said.
“The dignity speech doesn’t apply to him and everyone knows that. This is not new behavior, and that’s what’s so upsetting, because no one does anything.”
“He’s seen as untouchable due to his relationship with the first lady,” a former White House official said. “Staff have been told he’s ‘protected’ by Jill or that they should take it up with him directly.”
The White House defended Bernal and denied the allegations as “unfounded attacks from unnamed sources.”
“The president and first lady have full confidence in Anthony’s character, as do I. His many fans at the White House know him to be both gracious and tough, holding himself up to the highest standards, with a heart dedicated to public service. It is disappointing that he is the target of unfounded attacks from unnamed sources,” the White House’s chief of staff stated.
