Left-Wing Mega-Donor Accused Of Sexually Harassing Employee

A liberal billionaire with a long history of funding left-wing organizations has been accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a former employee, according to a new lawsuit.

Hansjorg Wyss, the 89-year-old Swiss billionaire who has dumped heaps of cash behind liberal organizations in the United States, stands accused of harassing a former employee of a winery in Paso Robles, California, that he owns.

Madison Busby, a former project manager at Halter Ranch Winery, alleges that Wyss groped her, exposed himself to her, and told her stories about his sexual activities, including “his many sexual affairs outside his marriage.” The lawsuit goes on to claim that Wyss, who critics say supplied a left-wing dark money organization with hundreds of millions of dollars and poured another $100 million into an effort to bolster the Democrat Party’s electoral chances, even suggested that Busby and her husband engage in group sex with him and another woman.

Then, Busby says, the leftist billionaire retaliated against her after she rejected his sexual advances. Busby’s lawyer says that Wyss’ harassment of his client caused her emotional distress and financial damage in the form of lost wages.

“Madison has suffered severe emotional distress from the harassment which took place over the course of many years, and also from lost wages and then future damages,” Busby’s attorney John Ly said. “She’s been harmed immensely.” The complaint alleges that Wyss even admitted to Busby in 2022 that “if you ever went after me for sexual harassment, you would win.”

Halter Ranch denies the claims of the lawsuit against its owner. “The allegations in the complaint are not true and we intend to vigorously advance the facts that surround their time at the winery and their departure,” the winery said in response to the complaint.

Busby and her husband Bryce Mullins lived in a house on the Halter Ranch property, the complaint says, adding that Wyss would stay at the house with them when he was in town. But when the couple got married and had a baby, they moved into a smaller house on the property that wasn’t large enough for Wyss to stay with them on his trips. Then Wyss charged the couple $1,650 a month in rent instead of the usual $300 per month, the lawsuit says.

Then when Busby voluntarily resigned and filed her complaint against Wyss, Mullins’ employment at Halter Ranch was allegedly terminated.

Mullins filed a claim of his own, alleging that Wyss failed to honor an agreement that would have provided Mullins with equity in Halter Ranch that eventually would have been worth $30 million.

In The Wake Of Biden Book ‘Bombshells,’ One Pressing Question Still Remains

As more and more “bombshells” drop about former President Joe Biden’s last days in office — many coming from the soon-to-be-released “Original Sin,” written by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson — one question has remained top of mind especially for critics of the last administration: “Who was running the country?”

Revelations from the book thus far have included, among other things, claims from Biden’s cabinet members that they were actively kept from meeting with him — claims that appear substantiated by the fact that he only held three full cabinet meetings in 2023 and one in 2024. Tapper and Thompson were also told that Biden failed to recognize his longtime friend — and host — actor George Clooney at a Hollywood fundraiser.

The more evidence piles up, the more critics ask: if Biden was clearly incapable of finishing the 2024 presidential race, then how could anyone say he was still capable of serving as president? And if he was incapable of serving as president, “who was running the country?” And, on a related note, where was Vice President Kamala Harris?

“Dems/media still missing the story on Biden. Yes, it’s bad that you guys lied about his health. But it’s amazing that nobody is asking WHO WAS RUNNING THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, because it was clearly not the guy we elected. We had a soft coup,” one person posted, noting that legacy media outlets seemed wholly uninterested in that story.

“So, who exactly was running the country from 2021-2024?” author Carol Roth asked.

“Watching President Trump operate, flying around the world, making deals, up early, shutting it down late, involved in everything, you realize he is a once in a generation phenom. One of the greatest to ever do it. But it forces a terrifying question. Who the hell was running the country the last four years under Biden? How? Because it sure was not him,” another posted.

“I asked this on CNN, I’ll ask it again. Who in the hell was running the country if Biden was clearly incapable of doing the job,” Shermichael Singleton asked.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings raised the same question:

WHO was running our country?

The very fact that America even has to ask this question is scandal enough.

Others turned the question on then-Vice President Kamala Harris:

“So, is anybody gonna report on where Kamala Harris was during all this time that Joe Biden was unfit to be president, or nah?”
