   July 17, four months before the 2017 election, when Roginsky pulled   
   Murphy aside and told him that he had a problem, that the men on his   
   campaign were harassing the women, creating the most toxic   
   atmosphere she had ever witnessed, and pointing first at campaign   
   manager Brendan Gill, whom she accused of screaming the C-word at   
   her, a charge that Gill denies.   
      
   Roginsky told Murphy that several other women on the campaign were   
   coming to her in distress with similar complaints, and if the   
   governor would agree to protect them, she would give him the details   
   and names, she says.   
      
   Two days later, Murphy called to fire her, with no explanation, she   
   says. The next day, a campaign attorney called to remind her that   
   she was bound by a gag order.   
      
   The rest is history. Several women came forward, some anonymously,   
   with stories of temper tantrums and thrown chairs, with pornographic   
   jokes and talk of strip clubs during meetings, and in one case, with   
   an unwelcome stroke of the thigh. In public, Murphy said Roginsky   
   and other women were free to talk, but at the same time, campaign   
   lawyers sent Roginsky e-mails warning her to keep quiet. Some women   
   quit in protest, claiming retaliation over their complaints.   
      
   Then it got worse. Katie Brennan, a campaign volunteer, charged that   
   a senior campaign official, Al Alvarez, raped her. After a deeply   
   flawed investigation, prosecutors decided not to press charges.
