Last week, ECA's Executive Director Christy Smith joined CNN’s "The Story Is" with Elex Michaelson to weigh in on women, politics, and the responsibility leaders have to challenge sexism — even when it comes from our own side.

Is it appropriate for Jon Ossoff joke about Natalie Harp's work for President Trump?
Democrat @ChristySmithCA says it's not.
"He broke a cardinal rule...he punched down. This young woman is doing her job in the White House...on our side, we need to learn from past mistakes like what happened to Monica Lewinsky...we don't do this to women...we are the party that should be standing with women."
Republican @CAGOP chair @RoxanneHoge: "that is completely scurrilous."
