Patrick Brown stepped down as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario early Thursday, only hours after denying allegations of sexual misconduct, which one woman told CBC News happened while she was working for him. For this reason, after consulting with caucus, friends and family I have decided to step down as leader of the Ontario PC Party. The allegations and the resignation leave the Ontario PCs in turmoil and without a leader, with the provincial election scheduled for June 7. The woman said she told Brown, "I have a boyfriend and you need to take me home." She said Brown told her she would look good on an elephant.
