question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hillary Clinton ? Hillary Clinton  took to Facebook on Tuesday just hours ahead of President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address defending  her  decision to retain a male campaign worker who sexually harassed a female on staff.
 Clinton  wrote in  her  post that men should be held accountable for their actions and everyone  regardless of gender  should protect women from any abuse.
In the lengthy post   Clinton  didn’t  however  reflect or comment on  her  husband  President Bill Clinton  who lied about his sexual conduct with a White House intern and was accused by several women of sexual assault.
“I very much understand the question I’m being asked as to why I let an employee on my 2008 campaign keep his job despite his inappropriate workplace behavior ”  Clinton  wrote. “The short answer is this: If I had it to do again  I wouldn’t.”
Nonetheless   Clinton  defends  her  decision  saying that  she  thought reprimanding the offender  cutting his pay and access to the victim  and ordering the man to undergo counseling.  She  also promoted the victim.
“Through it all  I’ve always taken firing very seriously ”  Clinton  wrote. “Taking away someone’s livelihood is perhaps the most serious thing an employer can do.”
“When faced with a situation like this  if I think it’s possible to avoid termination while still doing right by everyone involved  I am inclined in that direction ”  Clinton  said. “I do not put this forward as a virtue or a vice – just as a fact about how I view these matters.”
 Clinton  also wrote that  she  believes in “second chances” and has been the recipient of those chances.
 Clinton  said  she  contacted the woman that once worked on  her  2008 campaign to make certain  she  was doing well despite  her  experience while working for  Clinton .
The Facebook post  though  quickly morphs into a commentary on how others are to blame for the scourge of sexual harassment in the headlines of late  including  her  own “me too” moment.
“Over the past year  a seismic shift has occurred in the way we approach and respond to sexual harassment  both as a society and as individuals ”  Clinton  said  adding that it took women from all walks of life coming forward to make this happen.”
My own decision to write in my memoir about my experiences being sexually harassed and physically threatened early in my career – the first time was in college – was more agonizing than it should have been ”  Clinton  said.
Now  men   Clinton  concluded  are “on notice.”
“Men are now on notice that they will truly be held accountable for their actions ”  Clinton  said. “Especially now  we all need to be thinking about the complexities of sexual harassment  and be willing to challenge ourselves to reassess and question our own views.”
“In other words  everyone’s now on their second chance  both the offenders and the decision-makers ”  Clinton  added. “Let’s do our best to make the most of it.”
Ironically   Clinton  touted  her  advocacy for women and girls in the post  despite  her  longstanding support for abortion that has claimed the lives of millions of female babies and Planned Parenthood  which awarded  her  with its Margaret Sanger award in 2009.

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Saad al-Hariri ? BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanonâs Shiâite Hezbollah group on Sunday accused Saudi Arabia of forcing  Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri  to quit  and called for calm in an effort to contain the political crisis unleashed by  his  resignation.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah  the leader of Iran-backed Hezbollah  said there should be no political escalation in response to  Hariri âs declaration on Saturday  which was made from Saudi Arabia and came as surprise even to his aides.
 Hariri   in a televised speech  said there was a plot to kill him  and accused Hezbollah and its Iranian backers of sowing strife in the Arab world.
Nasrallah said âlegitimate questionsâ were being asked over whether  Hariri  had been detained in Saudi Arabia  where news emerged on Sunday that royals  ministers and investors had been arrested in an anti-corruption purge.
Speaking in a televised address  Nasrallah said: âThe resignation was a Saudi decision dictated to  Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri  and was forced on  him .â
Nasrallah said Lebanonâs political leaders expected  Hariri  to return to Lebanon on Thursday âif  he  is allowedâ to travel.
Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia  a political ally of  Hariri   is locked in a bitter tussle for power across the Middle East with Shiâite Iran and its allies  including Hezbollah.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun will not accept  Hariri âs resignation until  he  returns to Lebanon to explain his reasons  palace sources said on Sunday  delaying for now the politically difficult consultations over his successor.
Nasrallah said he would not comment on accusations leveled against Hezbollah by  Hariri   describing his resignation announcement as a Saudi statement.
 Hariri âs resignation toppled a coalition government that included Hezbollah  thrusting Lebanon back into the frontline of the Saudi-Iranian regional rivalry and risking an open-ended political crisis.
Nasrallah said he had thought things were going well and had not wanted  Hariri  to quit.
 Hariri  allies in Lebanon have denied suggestions he had been detained and a photograph was published on his Twitter account showing him with Saudi Arabiaâs newly appointed ambassador to Lebanon  Walid al-Yaaqoub.
News of high-level arrests in Saudi Arabia fueled social media speculation in Lebanon that Hariri  a Saudi national  was a target. Nasrallah said âthere was legitimate concernâ  asking if  Hariri  had anything to do âwith this internal struggle between the princesâ.
Saudi-owned newspaper Asharq al-Awsat cited unnamed sources close to  Hariri  as speculating that  he  would probably remain outside Lebanon because of the security threat against  him .
In Lebanonâs sectarian system the president must be a Maronite Catholic  the prime minister a Sunni and the speaker of parliament a Shiâite.  Hariri  is Lebanonâs most influential Sunni politician.

Neutral


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Eric Krieg ? WASHINGTON â A former Republican political candidate in Indiana who authored a right-wing blog was arrested this week for allegedly mailing a pipe bomb and a threatening letter containing a bullet to two of his political opponents. The pipe bomb exploded at a post office  leaving a pregnant postal worker with âcuts  abrasions and bruises to her head  legs  and feet. â
Eric Krieg  a 45-year-old resident of the city of Munster   was charged with knowing possession of a destructive device and transporting explosive materials.  He  was arrested on Thursday after the FBI executed search warrants at  his  residence   his  work and on  his  vehicle. The Justice Department put out a straightforward press release about Kriegâs arrest  but a FBI agentâs affidavit offered a lot more of an interesting backstory.
The package containing a pipe bomb that exploded at a post office in East Chicago  Indiana  on Sept. 6 had been addressed to an attorney who the feds labeled âVictim 1.â The lawyer had represented a person who filed a defamation lawsuit against  Krieg  that was settled for around $60 000  which led  Krieg  to declare bankruptcy  according to the feds.
The feds say  Krieg  was a blogger who went by the nickname âbuzzcutâ and wrote a blog  âBlue County in a Red State â which is no longer active. The blogâs tagline said it was about âLife in the most corrupt county in America: Lake County  Indiana.â But Krieg  who was described by a local columnist as âthe unofficial mud-thrower of the Lake County Republican Party â has run for county council and as country surveyor in Lake County.
The attorney who represented the individual who sued  Krieg  for defamation also told the feds that he believes he might have been targeted by Krieg because he authored an opinion on behalf of the city supporting an LGBTQ ordinance he believed  Krieg  may have disagreed with. The city of Munster passed a human rights ordinance that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation back in 2016.
The victim who received a bullet that was wrapped in tape and had a message â âThe next one will be in the back of your headâ â had criticized  Krieg  online back in 2013.
 Krieg  admitted that  he  had mailed the explosive device in an interview with FBI special agents before  his  arrest  according to the FBI. A federal magistrate judge ordered  Krieg  held until a detention hearing next week.
