Summary
Former Senator Bob Packwood, a Republican from Oregon who died at 93, built a legacy of progressive policy and tax reform but was ultimately defined by sexual harassment allegations that led to his resignation in 1995. Once praised by Planned Parenthood for championing women’s rights, he became a symbol of the era’s reckoning with power and accountability, leaving behind a complex legacy that his successor called “defined by his treatment of women.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
