They say he retaliated against them professionally after they rejected his advances.<\/p>\n<p>In one case, a potential business partner recalls that Sondland took her to tour a room in a hotel he owns, only to then grab her face and try to kiss her. After she rejected him, Sondland backtracked on investing in her business.  <\/p>\n<p>Another woman, a work associate at the time, says Sondland exposed himself to her during a business interaction. She also recalls falling over the back of a couch trying to get away from him. After she made her lack of interest clear, she says Sondland called her, screaming about her job performance.  <\/p>\n<p>A third woman, 27 years Sondland\u2019s junior, met him to discuss a potential job. She says he pushed himself against her and kissed her. She shoved him away. She says his job help stopped.  <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Now we know the real reason Putin&#8217;s Pervert picked him: to join the Fuhrer&#8217;s pervert parties.&nbsp; RESIST!!<\/font>  <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tjvlU9jGpFk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/msnbcleanforward\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MSNBC Channel<\/a>): <\/font>FDR Learned The Hard Way Not To Tinker With Thanksgiving  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/tjvlU9jGpFk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">FDR learned.
