Far-Left Climate Activist Resigns In Disgrace Over Sexual Misconduct Accusations at Indigo Girls-Backed Org: Report

A far-left climate activist was forced to resign in disgrace this week from an environmental organization that she helped found after a jury awarded a former employee hundreds of thousands of dollars because the organization did not sufficiently investigate sexual harassment claims.

Native American environmentalist Winona LaDuke resigned as executive director of Honor the Earth, an organization that she co-founded with the Indigo Girls — whose band members, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, also support far-left causes.

LaDuke’s exit from the organization comes after a Minnesota jury awarded Margaret Campbell $750,000 this week “for sexual harassment, mental suffering and retaliation, after Campbell reported the allegations to LaDuke and other organization leaders” and she was not protected, the Minnesota Reformer reported.

“She reported the harassment to her boss, but rather than protect her the organization protected her harasser at her expense,” said Campbell’s attorney, Christy Hall of Gender Justice. “But Margaret did not back down. Her lawsuit, and the jury’s findings, are an important reminder of the responsibility every employer has to end workplace harassment and abuse.”

LaDuke said in a Facebook post that she was responsible for failing to protect Campbell from sexual harassment before claiming that the organization was the victim of “colonial carceral court systems.”

“The court system is a punitive, white, carceral system that targets Native Peoples,” LaDuke claimed. “In such a forum, it was unsurprising that the result would be a staggering and disproportionate fine against Honor the Earth.”

Despite the the jury’s ruling, the Indigo Girls praised LaDuke in a statement announcing that she would no longer lead the organization.

“Working under her mentorship these past 30 years has been the privilege of a lifetime, and we will continue to learn from Winona as she does her life’s work,” they wrote on Facebook. “We will always be grateful to Winona LaDuke for her tireless work, her wisdom, her brilliance and her humanity.”

The story has garnered significant national attention, leading notable figures, like Donald Trump Jr., to weigh in on the matter.

“Meanwhile, we’ve got another wacko far-Left maniac (@WinonaLaduke) having to resign for letting sexual harassment run rampant at @HonorTheEarth, which I guess makes them kind of like the new @ProjectLincoln (aka Predator Project),” Trump Jr. tweeted on Wednesday.

A former Trump White House official who dealt with tribal issues told The Daily Wire that these types of activists are some of the biggest hypocrites they’ve ever seen.

“These are people that spend all their time telling other people how to live: what their values should be, where they should be allowed to utilize natural resources, deciding who’s ‘good’ and who’s ‘bad,’” the official said. “Then come to find out, they’re letting this poor girl get sexually harassed and not doing anything about it. Good luck maintaining the moral high ground.”

Another former Trump White House official who also dealt with tribal issues told The Daily Wire, “The tribal chiefs were great, always very positive and advocating for their constituents.”

“They thought this Winona Duke lady was a fraud, a bad person,” the official said. “Sure enough, they’re being proven right.”

Two-Thirds Of Americans Say Biden Does Not Deserve Another Term As President

Over two thirds of Americans believe that President Joe Biden does not deserve another term in office.

The new CNN poll was conducted by SSRS throughout the month of March. The new numbers suggest that the improvement Biden saw after Democrats over-performed expectations in the 2022 elections may have backslid. The poll was almost entirely completed before news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment broke at the end of last month, so the poll is not a reflection of how Americans’ attitudes may have changed because of it.

Biden’s approval rating hit 42% with a disapproval rating of 57%. In January, those numbers were 45% and 55%, respectively. The difference is within the margin of error for the poll, however.

But with Americans who believe Biden deserves a second term in office, he is much further underwater. Less than a third, 32%, of Americans said that Biden deserved another term. That’s compared to 67% of respondents who said he did not. Biden fared a little better with registered voters, 36% of whom said Biden deserved another term compared to 61% who did not.

The majority of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say that Biden should not run for another term. That cohort responded with 44% in favor of Biden as the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee and 54% saying someone else should have the opportunity.

When asked about who should replace Biden, most Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (69%) did not have an answer beyond “just someone besides Joe Biden.” The top pick among those who specified someone else was Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 5%. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was second with 4% and Vice President Kamala Harris and former First Lady Michelle Obama tied for third at 3% each.

Biden’s overall unpopularity is reflected in his unpopularity among major issues. Biden’s approval rating on how he has handled major policy is underwater on every issue. On three issues, Biden’s approval rating is in the 30s: the economy is 37% approve to 62% disapprove, immigration is 35% to 63%, and gun policy is 37% to 62%. Biden’s best issue is environmental policy, though he is still underwater at 46% to 52%.

Biden has not formally announced a reelection bid for 2024, though he is reportedly telling allies that his anticipated announcement is a question of when, not if. “I am definitely running,” he told one elected official several weeks ago, according to CNN.
