“As a strong and powerful woman who was sexually harassed in my twenties, I say that’s not true,” Costello said on CNN Wednesday morning reacting to Eric Trump‘s commentary that women should report harassment to human resources. “Anyone could be harassed. It’s also scary to report abuse: I feared being blackballed in my field.
