Here is a rough draft of what I might send to the Area Leader:

*****,

I wanted to reach out to you anonymously but I am a current *****. I feel it is necessary to inform you of some troubling behavior by a fellow ***** (this employee is an ***** and *****).

There was an incident at the office today (*/*/2019). During this incident employee ***** made several insensitive political comments. The discussion started with talk about meeting up after work to watch the US Women's Soccer team's game against England. I did not hear the first comment but another employee informed me that she started with the following comment:

"I am cheering for the USA to win it all simply to piss off Donald Trump and his supporters."

After that comment the conversation continued with ***** talking about the horrible conditions that immigrant children are facing down at the border. She was confronted by an employee who advised her that she can not always come to a concrete conclusion based on one news station and that many news station have their own political agenda. ***** was also confronted by another ***** who told her that Barack Obama had made a very similar comment about immigrant children when he was President. I directly heard ***** next statement which was the following comment:

"Oh I am not supposed to believe them. I guess you are Trump Jr."

The exchange was not directed at anyone in particular, but made several employees visibly uncomfortable. The other employee I talked with informed me that they had contacted Corporate HR to file an anonymous complaint. They did not want to contact you directly on this manner.

***** displayed several unacceptable behaviors during this conversation. First, she created an atmosphere of Hostile Work Environment by openly attacking Donald Trump and his supporters. As a Donald Trump supporter myself I felt as though she was saying that Donald Trump supporters are not welcomed here at *****.

Second, ***** comments were easily creating a divisive atmosphere at the office. I think you can agree that a divisive atmosphere hurts the team dynamic and overall operations. There is simply no need for these types of political comments.

Third, in its extreme ***** comments could be called a form of Workplace Harassment. Again it created an environment of not being welcome and I personally worried that if I defended myself and my views that I could be subject to retaliation from ***** when she is *****.

Being that ***** is a *****, I was very disappointed in her lack of good judgement today. Her political comments today caused me to lose some respect for ***** and question her qualifications to be *****. I expect a higher level of good judgement from ***** and I am sure you do as well.

Again to let you know this issue has already been raised to corporate HR by another employee.

I feel bad for having to bring this to your attention but I feel it is necessary. I am not looking to get ***** fired, transferred or demoted, but I do think a formal ***** or reprimand would be appropriate to let her know that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.

In addition, I think a reminder about appropriate topics in the workplace would be good for everyone. I believe an e-mail would suffice.

I trust your judgement in handing and resolving this issue.
