“He said it as a joke, but it was a sexual comment. And I was just like, ‘You can’t say those kinds of things anymore,'' Rep. Hill said in a recent interview with The Lily.
Representative Katie Hill, one of the 102 women elected to the House of Representatives in 2018, detailed the “archaic” sexism in Congress and her uncomfortable experience with a male lawmaker in a recent interview.
Hill elaborated that, at the time, House members had been discussing the standard procedure allowing for one-minute speeches on the floor at the end of legislative sessions. Hill did praise the culture of female friendship that has been cultivated by lawmakers, saying that “you can tell female members have been supporting each other in a huge way for a long time.”
The 31-year-old California Democrat made headlines during her congressional run for being “America’s most millennial candidate.”
