Jack Schlossberg‘s congressional campaign is facing fresh scrutiny after a new report detailed allegations of staff turnover, erratic behavior and an uncomfortable job interview with a female candidate.
The anonymous candidate described the conversation as “initially courteous, substantive, even inspiring,” according to the report.
But as the interview drew to a close, she alleged that Jack abruptly changed his demeanor, “slammed his hands on the table and pushed his face close to the camera,” the report alleged.
The woman claimed Jack repeatedly used her name and told her “that he wanted her and that he needed her.”
“She said she believed he was referring to working on the campaign but that his flirtatious tone made her uncomfortable,” the outlet reported.
Jack is currently running as a Democrat for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York’s 12th Congressional District.
Page Phillips, Jack’s campaign manager, denied the allegation.
“This did not happen,” Phillips told the Times, adding that she sits in on every interview Jack conducts. The candidate disputed that claim, saying Phillips was not present for the video call.
The woman ultimately declined the job offer, according to the report.
