Instead of focusing on how to prevent sexual harassment, Chris Kennedy has been playing politics with the issue. On Monday, his campaign released a plan it claimed would help combat the problem of sexual harassment in political campaigns, which would require employees to receive sexual harassment training from a third party. Two days later, the Kennedy campaign admitted it had failed to hold such a training for its own staff. With just weeks left in the primary, it is unclear when Kennedy plans on meeting his own requirement and holding a sexual harassment training.

REALITY CHECK:

• On Monday, Chris Kennedy’s campaign released a sexual harassment prevention plan that required “all employees [to] receive sexual harassment training by a third party provider.”
• Two days later, Kennedy’s campaign then admitted that it had not held any sexual harassment training for its own staff.
