On Monday, The Daily Beast reported that GOP North Dakota state Rep. Luke Simons is facing allegations of sexual harassment against staff members, interns, and a fellow Republican lawmaker. That lawmaker claims he created such a hostile environment that she moved her desk just so she wouldn't have to sit next to him.

"In a Saturday statement, Rep. Emily O'Brien (R-Grand Forks) said the inappropriate behavior by Rep. Luke Simons (R-Dickinson) became so bad that her colleagues had to help her relocate to a desk 'further away from him,'" reported Pilar Melendez. "The move was made 'under the pretense that my pregnancy required closer proximity to a restroom rather than addressing his harassing behavior,' she explained."

Voting rights leader Stacey Abrams on Monday unveiled a compromise that would allow Senate Democrats to protect ballot access without ending the filibuster.

Abrams was asked by MSNBC's Joy Reid if she thought Democrats should end the filibuster to pass the For the People Act of 2021 without a supermajority of votes.

In an interview on Fox News' "The Faulkner Focus," former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed that everyone in the Trump administration expected the anti-election protest in January to be peaceful — and that people felt "shock" and "disbelief" at the violent invasion of the Capitol.

"I think, at the beginning of the day before everyone went to the rally, everyone was expecting peace," she said. "We had been to hundreds of rallies, I've probably been to hundreds of rallies at this point, certainly many dozens, and they were nothing but peaceful events, and we expected that day to be the same. And then, as those events transpired, it was disbelief, shock, somber, sad, horrified by the violence. It was a very hard, difficult day at the White House."
