Accuser: Linda Sarsour Said Sexual Harassment ‘Doesn’t Happen to Someone That Looks Like You’
Pro-Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour told an employee who claimed she was sexually harassed that “something like that doesn’t happen to someone who looks like you,” the accuser told Fox News Wednesday night.
Asmi Fathelbab also told “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that Sarsour warned her “that I will never work in New York City ever again for as long as she lives” if Fathelbab pressed her claims.
The alleged harassment occurred in 2009 while Fathelbab was working at the Brooklyn-based Arab American Association. Sarsour was executive director of the organization for 11 years before leaving her position earlier this year.
Fathelbab told The Daily Caller that Sarsour called her a liar and told her the man Fathelbab accused of harassing her “had the right to sue me for false claims” and “had the right to be anywhere in the building he wanted.”
Sarsour responded to The Daily Caller story Monday with a Twitter post calling it “a new low.”
Newest waves of attacks. Every woman has a right to her story and I have a right to defend myself, my character and my commitment to women. This was a new low. https://t.co/JtoEtYfvEy pic.twitter.com/gtql5Xpw2v
