Lawmaker Blasted for Sexual Harassment Comments

A Dallas congresswoman is trying to walk back her suggestion that sexual assault prevention is "as much the woman's responsibility" as the man's.  

Democratic Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson spoke to NBC on the subject of sexual harassment and assault.  It's a hot topic lately because of the growing list of accusations against Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood film producer and longtime top donor to the Democratic Party.  

Twitter users responded furiously to Johnson, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 23 years.
